Your Councillors
Two Elected Members represent each ward and play an important role as community representatives, influencing many decisions, the City of Melville makes about what happens locally.
While the Chief Executive Officer and staff of the City are employed to provide specialised information and advice to the Council and carry out the Council’s decisions, Elected Members are the elected policy makers and collectively make decisions for the City.
This includes making decisions on matters relating to allocation of financial resources, environment and sustainability, community development, public health and safety, sport and recreation, essential infrastructure and future planning and services provided to residents.
More specifically, the role of a City of Melville Councillor is to:
- Represent the community
- Provide leadership and guidance
- Facilitate communication between the community and the Council
- Make decisions on all matters before Council
- Determine Council policy
- Govern finances
- Forward planning and evaluation of Council’s progress
