Central Highlands Local Government Elections: A Call to Community Leadership

As the Central Highlands Regional Council prepares for its local government elections on 16 March 2024, a call to active civic engagement resonates across our community. These elections present a pivotal opportunity for individuals to shape the future of our region through leadership and governance.

Key to these elections is the role of councillors and the mayor, who are instrumental in driving local policies and community development. Aspiring candidates must complete mandatory training, ensuring they are well-prepared for the responsibilities ahead.

The Electoral Commission Queensland offers comprehensive resources for candidates, including detailed guidelines on the election process, a code of conduct, and insights into the local government system. This support extends to the community, empowering residents with knowledge about their role in these democratic processes.

Election signage regulations are in place to ensure a fair and respectful campaign environment. These regulations, along with other election-related information, are readily available to both candidates and the public.
