Deputy Mayors of Hornsby Shire
In 1905 a Royal Commission was established to divide the eastern and central parts of New South Wales not already incorporated, into shires or municipalities. The Royal Commission led to the Local Government Act of 1906.
On 6 March 1906, Hornsby Shire was incorporated. On 16 May it was divided into three Ridings and the first elections took place in December 1906. Elections are now held in September.
Shortly after the first election John Charles Hunt became Hornsby’s first President/Mayor. The position of Deputy Mayor wasn’t created until after the elections of December 1931 when Sidney Storey became Hornsby’s first Deputy Mayor.
No one was elected to the position in September 1976, but the post was re-established the following September and again deleted in September 1978. A deputy was again elected in July 1979 following the illness of the Mayor, Donald Evans. Since then a Deputy Mayor has been elected by the Shire’s Councillors usually on an annual basis.
