Website during election period
Councils must comply with special arrangements in the lead up to elections, known as the caretaker period. This is in accordance with the Local Government Act. This ensures that council actions don’t interfere with the election process, and the election process is conducted in an ethical, fair and equitable way.
Materials published on Council’s website prior to caretaker, will be reviewed and potentially removed if any such material is considered Electoral Matter.
Councillor mobile phone numbers are removed from Council’s website. You can still get in contact with your Councillors by ringing the Councillor Support office on 9243 8848 or 9243 8846 during business hours. Councillors are also still available by email.
