Currently we have 3 wards across Warringah and 3 Councillors representing each ward.

  • Do you think we need wards in Warringah or should they be abolished?
  • How many wards do you think we should have, if any?
  • How many Councillors do we need? 
  • Should we keep the current structure; retaining three (3) wards, three (3)Councillors in each ward and a popularly elected Mayor

Note Legislation states that we muct have at least 5 Councillors in total and if there are wards then there must be a minimum of 3 Councillors per ward.
