Mayor and Councillors
Council is made up of twelve Councillors and a popularly elected Mayor. The twelve Councillors each represent one of the four wards that make up Willoughby, while the Mayor represents all the wards. Councillors are voted in by the local community every four years to represent them on local public issues.
An election for the new Councillors who will represent the community for the 2024-2028 term was held on Saturday 14 September 2024. View the NSW Electoral Commission progressive count result
