This is a list of the Mayors of Randwick City Council and its predecessors, a local government area of New South Wales, Australia. The official title of Mayors while holding office is: His/Her Worship The Mayor of Randwick. First incorporated on 1 April 1859 as the Municipality of Randwick, the council area was proclaimed as the City of Randwick on 1 July 1990. On 28 June 1973, the council was dismissed and placed under the control of government administrators after an inquiry into the council's handling of Development Applications, finding significant undeclared conflicts-of-interest between councillors and local developments.[2] It remained under administration until 24 September 1977. On 1 July 1993 following the enactment of a new Local Government Act, elected representatives of the council were to be known as 'Councillor', replacing the former title of 'Alderman'.[3]
The current Mayor of Randwick is Councillor Ted Seng (Liberal Party), elected in 2014.
