Local Government Elections

Walcha is divided into four wards where Councillors are elected from each ward by electors enrolled in that ward. Our Councillors and Wards are:

In Walcha, the Mayor is elected by the Councillors at the first Council meeting following their election, however the Electoral Office is not involved in those elections.
