Greg Stocks was first elected to the City of Albany Council in 2011 as a Frederickstown Ward Elected Member.
He was appointed Deputy Mayor in 2013, a position he held until 2021 before being elected by the community as Mayor of Albany in 2023. With an impressive 14 years of dedicated service to Council, Greg brings deep experience, dedication, and a collaborative leadership style that continues to guide the City through a period of growth and change.
Having moved to Albany during his childhood, Greg quickly made Albany home attending Albany Senior High School and later returning to teach at the school for 17 years. It was after this time that he became chairman of the board for the transition to an independent public school.
His passion for assisting disadvantaged students to succeed at school led Greg to a role within the Department of Education to develop a workplace skills and learning curriculum. His framework for structured workplace learning in WA went Australia-wide and has since helped many students succeed.
Greg went on to start up the business Skill Hire in partnership with two other business men and grew the company to 18 offices across two States and one Territory.
As Mayor, Greg’s vision is for Albany to be a liveable city for all — a place where opportunity, connection, and quality of life are within reach for every generation.
