Incumbent councillor Jeremy Crocker, who joined the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party in 2017 and contested the 2021 election as an endorsed candidate, left the party sometime in the most recent council term and is seeking re-election as an independent.[6][7]
All eight candidates elected in 2021 were independents, although councillor Jenny Dwyer became an Independent National in June 2022. She did not seek re-election in 2024.[13]
The 2024 election was uncontested.[15] A by-election will be held to fill the remaining ninth seat, with only eight candidates nominating for the election.[16]
