Mayor

Elected by the Councillors, the Mayor takes precedence at all municipal proceedings and speaks for council on policies and important local issues. The Councillors elect the Mayor at a Statutory Meeting held annually in November.

During their term of office the Mayor is the 'first citizen' of the Shire.
