For A Better Broken Hill

Broken Hill City Council is composed of nine councillors elected proportionally to a single ward, as well as a directly-elected mayor. At the 2016 election, Labor won a plurality with four councillors, along with Darriea Turley elected mayor.[10]

Incumbent independent councillor Tom Kennedy formed the "For A Better Broken Hill" (FABBH) group for the election, while another independent councillor − Ron Page − joined Dave Gallagher's "Team Broken Hill" group.
