Council's previous ward structure included 4 wards (Previous Council Ward Map). Legislation requires Council to undertake a review of its elector representation every 8 years. A representation review is held to determine whether a council community would benefit from an alteration to its composition or ward structure, and must examine all aspects of the composition of the council. The process reviews the methodology of the election of the Mayor, the number of Council Members (including the number of Council Members per ward) and whether wards are appropriate.
Following a review in 2022, a new ward structure came into effect Council at the completion of the 2022 Local Government elections. The district is now represented by a Mayor and 9 ward councillors, in a three ward structure. Please see the below maps, outlining this structure.
