Central Coast Council, Mayor and Councillors


The Central Coast Council is represented by 15 Councillors who were elected for a 4-year term, until September 2028.

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.
