The City of Parramatta is represented by 15 Councillors who have been elected for a 3-year term, until September 2024.
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.
