Are you interested in serving your community as a councillor? This introductory information session is essential for all potential candidates considering standing in the elections. It will help you make an informed decision about whether becoming a councillor is the right fit for you. The sessions, which will be informal and interactive, are an opportunity to hear about: • the system of local government in NSW • the role of Council and its services and functions • the roles and responsibilities of the Mayor and councillors and how this differs from the role of the General Manager and Council staff • what is expected of a councillor including the skills and attributes required, plus information about how Council supports its councillors • potential challenges of the role and how to manage these • how councillors get elected and what will happen if you are elected
Local government elections will be held on Saturday 14, September 2024.
