Mayor & Councillors (registers of interest)

Central Highlands Regional Council has nine councillors, including the mayor, who are elected for a four-year term. It is a councillor’s responsibility to make decisions on all areas of policy and budget, including the level and extent of services and works to be provided during the year. Decisions are made on a majority voting system in which each councillor has one vote. If there are an equal number of votes, the mayor has the casting vote. Councillors are your local government representatives and are happy to speak with you about anything happening within the region.

Note: Councillors have social media accounts that they use to express their own personal views and not necessarily those of council. Any councillor that identifies themselves on a social media page as a councillor is bound by the council’s code of conduct policy.
