The 2024 Local Government Elections for the Bega Valley Shire Council are being coordinated by the NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC).
The information provided on this page has been provided by the NSWEC.
The 2024 Local Government Elections will be held on Saturday 14 September 2024. You can find information about the elections on the NSWEC website elections.nsw.gov.au.
At this election voters will be asked to vote on:
If you’re over 18, are an Australian citizen (or eligible British subject) and live in the Bega Valley Shire, make sure you’re enrolled to vote.
Council will go into a caretaker role during the election period. This happens to make sure major decisions are not made which would limit or bind the actions of an incoming Council during the declared period. Caretaker mode begins four (4) weeks prior to 14 September 2024.
Although the official caretaker period ends at 6pm on the day of the Election, Council will not be responsible for making any decisions until at least its first official Ordinary Meeting; prior to which all newly or re-elected Councillors will commence a formal induction process.
The arrangements regarding caretaker periods are made through the Local Government (General) Regulations. Clause 393B of the Regulation requires the Council, the CEO, or any other delegate of the Council (other than a Joint Regional Planning Panel) to not exercise the following functions during the four weeks preceding an election:
