Elected Members & Ward Map
The following factors are taken into account when determining ward structures:
- communities of interest (e.g. economic, recreational, social, and regional factors)
- physical barriers (e.g. major roads)
- historical factors
- that population size is approximately equal (taking into account the growth of the developing suburbs).
In determining ward boundaries, the Council takes into account the average ratio of elector numbers for the area and then compares this with the actual ratio in any one ward.
The Council is required to review its ward boundaries every eight years, or in the event that a variation to this ratio is greater than 10 per cent.
