Dr Heather Holmes-Ross

Mayor of the City of Mitcham

Hello and thank you for visiting my website. 

I'm Heather and am privileged to be the 50th Mayor of the wonderful City of Mitcham. I have held this position since 2018 and have devoted much effort to uniting a previously divided chamber. Together we have focussed the direction of council. Setting a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) around Innovation for our CEO has fundamentally changed the way we do business at Mitcham, encouraging the entire organisation to think about ways we can deliver better, smarter and more efficient services. I am proud to have lead a chamber that has questioned business as usual, thought outside the square, and achieved so much in four short years.

I am immensely proud of Council’s direction and achievements and am keen to continue the work we have begun. In October/November 2022 I am seeking re-election as Mayor. I hope that this website allows residents and business owners to understand my motivation, direction and commitment, and that you will show your support by voting for me. I thank you in anticipation :)

Thanks again for visiting my site. I am always happy to discuss ideas and welcome your questions and comments.

Cheers

Heather
