The current Mayor of Waverley Municipal Council is Cr. Sally Betts, a member of the Liberal Party (see below for further details about the most recent election results).
NSW Local Government Elections are held every four years on the second Saturday of September as declared by the NSW Local Government Act 1993 No. 30 Part 4, Clause 287 (1). The next Local Government Elections in NSW are due in September 2016. However, in December 2015 the NSW Premier Mike Baird MP, indicated that the elections may need to be moved to March 2017 because of his government's planned amalgamation of local councils across NSW.
