Cr Marcelle Elzerman

As someone who understands the challenges of balancing work, family, and community involvement, I want to make sure the Shire is a great place to live, particularly in advocating for young people and families.

I aim to continue delivering on the basics—improving core services, keeping rates low, and ensuring the Council operates efficiently.

I envision a vibrant community where families thrive, and local services are convenient and accessible. I want to see a Shire that balances growth with keeping our natural environment healthy and beautiful, ensuring that residents enjoy both a high quality of life and get the most for the rates they pay.

I currently serve as Engagement Manager at Standards Australia, overseeing committees of experts in ICT, Transport, and Logistics. I’ve gained practical experience in engaging with stakeholders, developing policies, and finding solutions to complex issues. These skills help me understand community needs and work collaboratively to get results. As a Councillor, I bring a down-to-earth, solutions-focused approach to delivering for residents.


I hold a Bachelor of Liberal Arts, from the University of Notre Dame Australia, a Master of Marketing from Macquarie University and a Mini MBA from the Australian Institute of Management Education and Training.

I love to spend time at our beaches or on bushwalks around the Shire.
