Logan Howlett has been re-elected to the role of Mayor following the 2025 Local Government Election.
He was sworn in at a ceremony yesterday. This followed a recount of the Mayoral vote and declaration of the final result on the WA Electoral Commission website on Monday night.
Mayor Howlett said he was thrilled the people of Cockburn had chosen to re-elect him for a sixth term.
“I am humbled and very pleased to be in my 17th year in the role of Mayor at the City of Cockburn,” Mayor Howlett said.
“I remain fully committed to our vibrant, diverse and growing community. I am also eternally grateful for the unflinching support of my wife Pat who is a constant support in all I do for Cockburn.
“Cockburn is on the cusp of a record period of job growth as Defence takes on a significant role in our region at the Henderson Defence Precinct.
“As always, our City strives to provide top class facilities, services and programs that meet the unique needs of our community.
"I look forward to resuming my role and working together with Council to continue achieving the desired outcomes of the community.
“Thanks to everyone who came out to vote for me, it is a privilege to again represent Cockburn as the leader of our Council.”
