Frequently Asked Questions
A representation review is held to review all aspects of the composition of Council and the division of the Council area into wards. The review is to determine whether the current composition or ward structure will continue to meet the Council’s future requirements.
The key considerations are:
- The number of elected members of Council that are required to provide fare and adequate representation to the community,
- The division of the Council area into wards, or alternatively the abolition of wards;
- If applicable, the preferred future ward structure, the level of ward representation, and the name of any proposed future wards.
Council must consider whether the community will benefit from altering its existing composition and/or ward structure.
