While Pre-election Reports are legislatively required and produced every three years as part of our local elections process, they’re way more than just a report for potential candidates. A Pre-election Report is also for voters, and anyone interested in our community.

Pre-election Report 2025
“Prepared by Chief Executive Darren Edwards, the Pre-election Report 2025 outlines the role of Council governance (Elected Members) in addressing local needs and summarises our strategic direction, and major projects and finances over the past and next three years. It also outlines the major challenges and issues facing our district, encouraging informed discussions and debates.
“We might be biased, but we think it’s a great read and a document we and the community should come back to time and time again. It’s about where we have been and where we are going, and what might make that path tricky along the way.
“There is a huge amount going on in local government right now, which will have a significant effect on the future of our district, so we want everyone – especially those who aspire to be leaders in our community, to be as well informed as possible. We encourage you to read the Pre-election Report and learn more .”
