The Northern Beaches Council election

To be held on Saturday 9 September 2017

Manly Council was amalgamated in May 2016 with Warringah and Pittwater Councils to become the Northern Beaches Council. Since then it has been run by an administrator who took on the role of the former councillors.

The new Council extends from The Spit to Palm Beach. For voting purposes the area is divided into five wards. Each ward will have three councillors, a total of 15.

“Manly” is one ward, comprising Manly, Fairlight, Balgowlah, North Balgowlah, Balgowlah Heights, Clontarf, Manly Vale and Seaforth.

Full details of Pre-Polling and Polling Booth locations are listed below.
