Preet Singh has been elected Deputy Mayor of Wyndham City Council following the council’s annual mayoral election held on Wednesday, 12 November 2025. The meeting also saw Cr Josh Gilligan elected as Mayor for the 2025–26 term.
Cr Singh represents the Bemin Ward, which covers parts of Truganina and Laverton North. A long-term resident of Wyndham, he has lived in the area for about 20 years. Away from his council duties, he runs a local solar-installation business.
He was first elected to Wyndham City Council in the 2024 local government elections. According to his official council profile, his priorities include enhancing community safety, ensuring infrastructure meets the needs of Wyndham’s rapidly growing population, supporting local businesses, improving transport accessibility, promoting sustainable development, and maintaining transparency in local government.
The Bemin Ward covers an area of 39.6 square kilometres and is one of the city’s most culturally diverse areas. About 65 per cent of its residents were born overseas, and 77 per cent speak a language other than English at home. Around 69 per cent of the ward’s working residents are employed outside Wyndham, the highest proportion among all wards in the municipality.
Cr Singh’s appointment as Deputy Mayor reflects the community’s confidence in his leadership and his ongoing focus on delivering practical outcomes for Wyndham’s residents in areas of growth, sustainability, and local engagement.
