While local elections are not compulsory, your vote in a council election can make a huge difference.

In council elections, your vote can determine who represents you in your council area. They are responsible not only for the services they must provide (such as waste collection, footpaths, and park management) but also services that their community wants. These include:

  • Sporting ovals, courts, and facilities
  • Public swimming pools
  • Local halls
  • Community art facilities
  • Recycling
  • Local business directories
  • Local tourism
  • Aged care support
  • Crime prevention
