Thinking of Becoming a Councillor?

Councillors play an important role in shaping our community’s future by making decisions about local services, development, and strategic priorities. They represent the views of residents, attend regular council meetings, and work collaboratively to address community priorities. Comprehensive training and ongoing support are provided to help councillors carry out their responsibilities effectively. There are six vacancies to be filled in the upcoming election.
