Referendum Result

At the recent local government election local voters also had the opportunity to participate in a Constitutional Referendum. Voters were asked to respond to the question: Woollahra Municipal Council currently has 15 Councillors. Do you favour reducing the total number of Councillors from 15 to 9? Please note that a reduction in the number of Councillors will result in a reduction of Wards across the Woollahra Municipal Council Local Government Area, likely to be a reduction of 5 Wards to 3.

49.02% voted Yes and 50.98% voted No. As the majority voted No, the referendum question was not passed.

Thank you to all outgoing Councillors for their dedication to public service and their commitment to our local community.
