*REMINDER - NO LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS THIS WEEKEND*
On 24 July, the Minister for Local Government published an order in the Gazette under section 318C of the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) postponing all council elections to 4 December 2021.
The decision was made in response to the escalating outbreak of the Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus in Greater Sydney and the potential for further outbreaks in regional areas.
The decision has been made in consultation with and on the advice of the NSW Electoral Commissioner and NSW Health.
Current councillors and popularly elected mayors will continue to hold their civic offices until council elections are held on 4 December 2021.
The postponement of the next ordinary local government elections will not affect the timing of future council elections, and the subsequent ordinary local government elections will still proceed in September 2024.
