Council Elections - Candidate Information Session
Have you ever read a Council decision and thought, “I’d like to have a say in that?”
Perhaps you care strongly about the future of our district, have ideas about your community or would like to contribute to the decisions Council makes.
If you’ve ever wondered whether standing for Council could be for you, our upcoming Candidate Information Session is an opportunity to find out.
You don’t need to be a politician or have previous Council experience. Councillors come from a range of backgrounds, industries and life experiences, bringing different skills and perspectives to the role.
What does a Councillor do?
Councillors help make decisions about the future of our district, including long-term planning, community priorities, local services, infrastructure and strategic direction.
They consider different perspectives, represent their communities and contribute to decisions that affect residents, businesses and visitors.
If you’re interested but not sure what being a Councillor involves, the Candidate Information Session is a chance to learn more and ask questions before deciding whether standing for Council is right for you.
