img/wardmap.jpgFremantle South Ward

There are currently six wards in the local government area called the 'City' of Fremantle. They are about to become four.

In October 2023, South Ward will cease to exist, and the territory will become part of the new 'Coastal' Ward. Andrew Sullivan will stay on Council for two more years. A councillor will be elected to become the first representative of the new ward. As I write, in July 2023, there are as yet no candidates.

South Ward corresponds closely with South Fremantle suburb, being bounded by the ocean, South Street to the north, and 'Fremantle Village' trailer park to the south, but whereas the suburb only extends east to Cockburn/Hampton Roads, the ward also includes a big chunk of Beaconsfield suburb, from Scott Street northwards, over as far as Caesar Street, and so including much of the former Lefroy/Curedale/Davies farm - but not the (former?) 'Beacy Bronx', including Davis [Davies] Park.

Councillors representing South Ward in 2022 are Andrew Sullivan (1992-98, 2009-2025) and Marija Vujcic (2019-2023).

Candidates in the 2021 election were Steven Pynt, Jennifer Suffling, and Andrew Sullivan (2009-2021) who from mid-2021 acted as Mayor until the election in October. Marija Vujcic was also a mayoral candidate. If she had been successful, it would have required a by-election in this ward. She came second.

I don't have an official nor complete list to work from, but I can mention for your interest some councillors who have represented this ward previously. I'm assuming the year stated indicates the period January-October, as elections are usually held in the latter month, close to the end of the calendar year. This list may contain errors and does contain omissions.
