Review of Ward Names, Boundaries and Councillor Representation Levels (Closed)


The Minister for Local Government has advised the City of Albany that it has been identified as one local government which will be required to reduce its number of elected representatives to between 4 and 8 (from 12)as a result of local government reforms.

Please refer to the Discussion Paper for further information on those reforms.

Our community now has the opportunity to provide submissions on the number of elected representatives, and whether a Ward System should be retained or all wards should be abolished.

If you support the retention of a Ward System, you may also choose to suggest ward names. Public submissions must be received by 5.00pm 08/12/2022.

Your response will be included in the table of submissions as part of the final recommendation to Council.
