Mayoral Elections
Following Council elections, it is the responsibility of the newly elected Councillors to elect one Councillor as Mayor. The Mayoral term may be for 12 or 24 months pending a decision of Council. The elected Mayor may either be re-elected for another 12-month term or Councillors may elect another Councillor as Mayor. The Mayoral election is conducted at a Statutory and Annual Appointments Meeting in early November. A Deputy Mayor may also be appointed.
The Victorian Government has announced Council will move to an unsubdivided structure represented by nine Councillors at the 2024 local government elections. For more information, visit Electoral structure and ward boundary reviews (localgovernment.vic.gov.au)
