Contact details for councillors are listed below. Please note that if your query is related to a works request, for example tree pruning or road repairs, it is best to contact us through official Shire communications to ensure your request is dealt with efficiently.
After each election the Shire of Ravensthorpe Council appoints representatives to internal committees, local community groups, and organisations.
Each councillor has the privilege of participating in or representing the Council on at least one committee. The specific details of the committee or group to which each councillor is delegated can be found below.
By actively engaging with these groups, councillors gain valuable insights into the needs, concerns, and aspirations of the residents they represent.
