Councillors

The Shire of Carnarvon consists of seven (7) Councillors elected from four (4) wards, plus the Shire President, elected by the community for four years. Councillor elections occur every two years, with the Shire President election every four years. 

While Councillors represent their wards, together with the Shire President and Executive Leadership Team, they are responsible for the whole of the Shire of Carnarvon. Council makes decisions about strategy, policy, and budget priorities. 

Individual Councillors, including the Shire President, cannot make decisions as individuals.  The Council does not have any delivery or executive functions but relies on the decisions of most of the group, which provides direction for the Chief Executive Officer to implement.
