Council

Lord Mayor and Councillors

The City of Parramatta is represented by Councillors who have been elected for a 4-year term, from September 2024 until September 2028.

Our Councillors are elected by residents and non-residents across five electoral areas known as wards, with the Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor elected by the Councillors.

A Councillor’s role as an elected representative is to provide an essential link between the community and Council. Councillors must work as a team to make decisions and policies that guide the activities of the council. The role of Councillors is defined in the Local Government Act (1993).

Councillors also adhere to our Code of Conduct and other relevant policies such as the Code of Meeting Practice, and procedures relating to facilities and expenses.
For more information on the role of Councillors, visit Councillors - Office of Local Government NSW.

At the Extraordinary Council Meeting of Monday, 14 October 2024, the new Councillors for City of Parramatta were sworn in, with Councillor Martin Zaiter being elected as Lord Mayor until September 2026, and Councillor Cameron MacLean elected as Deputy Lord Mayor until September 2025.
