The Alpine Shire Council is made up of seven elected representatives. Together, they govern the Alpine Shire.
Mayoral elections are held each year. After each election, the former Mayor and Deputy Mayor revert to their general Councillor roles.
Councils consist of elected members (democractically elected Councillors) and the administration (Council Officers).
Councillors are elected by their community every four years. They participate in the decision making of Council, representing the interest of the municipality.
Council Officers are employees who are overseen by the Chief Executive Officer to provide operation delivery of council services and projects.
