About the Tumbarumba Council

The Council has eight (8) Councillors who are elected for 4 year terms. Due to recent changes to the Local Government Act, elections were held in March 2004, with the next elections scheduled for September 2008. The positions of Mayor and Deputy Mayor are elected by the Councillors annually in September.
