Message from the Mayor - 16 October 2024
Published on 16 October 2024
Congratulations to all our newly elected and re-elected Councillors. I am honoured to have been elected as the new Mayor of Woollahra and I am looking forward to working with the Deputy Mayor Councillor Sean Carmichael and my fellow colleagues and staff to represent and serve our local community.
I am grateful to the outgoing Mayor Richard Shields for his leadership and contribution to our community during the last 12 months.
Thank you to everyone who voted in the Constitutional Referendum on election day. In response to the question, “Woollahra Municipal Council currently has 15 Councillors. Do you favour reducing the total number of Councillors from 15 to 9?” a small majority of 50.98% voted No, meaning the number of councillors representing the Woollahra community will remain unchanged.
With new Deputy Mayor, Councillor Sean Carmichael
