Council Decided – 2 September 2025

Council considered the following matters at its meeting held on Tuesday 2 September 2025.

Election of Deputy Mayor

Councillor Michael Randall will continue in the role of Deputy Mayor having been re-elected for a term of one year. 

Draft Financial Statements

Council voted to refer the draft financial statements to proceed to audit, noting the strong financial position and the continuing trend of delivering a net surplus and exceeding all benchmarks as set by the Office of Local Government. The strong surplus has allowed Council to continue to reinvest funds into its Building Renewal Reserve, earmarked to support funding of a new library, a key infrastructure project and priority for the community. Council noted the strong result is the outcome of prudent financial management and commended staff for maintaining Council’s strong financial position.

Planning Changes by the State Government and the development of an alternate plan for Mosman
