The 2024 New South Wales mayoral elections were held on 14 September 2024 to elect mayors or lord mayors to 37 of the 128 local government areas (LGAs) in New South Wales, Australia. The elections took place as part of the statewide local elections. [1] [2]
At the 2021 local elections, four referendum questions were put to voters about directly-elected mayors.
When asked if they supported the introduction of a directly-elected mayor in 2024, 72.7% voted "Yes" in Bega Valley and 76.2% voted "Yes" in Ryde. [3] [4] In Wagga Wagga, 50.6% voted "No" to the creation of a directly-elected mayor, the closest margin of any local referendum questions in 2021. [5] In Griffith, voters were asked if they supported removing the direct mayoral election, to which 71.8% voted "No". [6]
On 6 April 2022, it was announced Canada Bay mayor Angelo Tsirekas (Our Local Community) was under investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) over allegations he accepted benefits from developer I-Prosperity Group in return for "favourable planning decisions" dating back to 2012. [7] [8]
Tsirekas was suspended as mayor on 9 November 2023 after ICAC found he had engaged in corrupt conduct. It was found he received benefits including overseas flights and accommodation, worth at least $18,800, between 2015 and 2019. [9]
On 13 December 2023, Tsirekas was dismissed as mayor by Minister for Local Government Ron Hoenig. He was banned from civic office for a period of five years. [10] On 25 January 2024, Michael Megna (Liberal) was appointed by councillors to serve for the remainder of the term.
Incumbents at the time of the elections are highlighted in bold text. Successful candidates are highlighted in the relevant colour.
