                Noosa Shire Council



       Councillors
       Noosa Shire Council is represented by seven Councillors, including the Mayor, who were elected at
       the Local Government elections on 28 March 2020 and made Declarations of Office on 15 April 2020.
       Our Councillors represent all areas of the Shire as Noosa is an undivided local government area.
       The role of Councillors is to represent the community and make decisions that benefit the whole
       Noosa Shire region, now and into the future.
       Councillors are responsible for:
           • providing leadership to the local government and the community;
           • planning for the delivery of services and strategic planning for the future;
           • developing policy and making local laws; and
           • complying with legislation.
       As well as being a Councillor, the Mayor has extra duties. The Mayor:
           • leads and manages Council Meetings to ensure that Council decisions are actioned;
           • provides strategic direction; and
           • represents Council at civic or ceremonial functions.
       As part of connecting with the community, the Councillors hold regular community chat sessions
       around the Shire and catch up with residents in regular informal and relaxed settings.
