Published 11th November 2026
Join our Candidate Information Session on Tuesday 1 December to learn what being a Councillor involves, ask questions and find out what you need to know before deciding whether to nominate.

A red-and-cream election campaign banner promotes Council Election 2027 with “Shape Your World” and calls to “Enrol. Nominate. Vote.” Civic illustrations, including a ballot box and voting signs, appear beside the headline, with organisation logos along the bottom.

Candidate Information Session Registration Form

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.
