The mayor is elected by the councillors at the first meeting of the council. The most recent election was held on 8 September 2012 and the makeup of the council is as follows:[15][16][17]
Party | Councillors | |
---|---|---|
Independent and Unaligned | 9 | |
Total | 9 |

At the 2012 local government elections, a referendum was held to directly elect the mayor and reduce the number of wards from three to two, each electing four councillors. The referendum was passed, with 55.96% voting in favour of the resolution.[19] The changes will take place at the next local government elections, due to be held in 2016.
Proposed amalgamation
A 2015 review of local government boundaries recommended that the Armidale Dumaresq Shire and the Guyra Shire councils merge.[20] An alternative proposal, submitted by the Armidale Dumaresq Council on 1 March 2016, was for an amalgamation of the Armidale Dumaresq, Guyra, Uralla and Walcha councils.[21] The outcome of the independent review is expected by mid–2016.
