Cr Kevin Mack

Kevin was born and bred in the Border region and has lived in Albury, Wangaratta and Corryong. He has four adult children Emily, Hannah, Willson and Lucy. Kevin is a former Victoria Police officer of 41 years, during which time he focused on specialised interests in helping families and young people – passions he has carried over into his career as a councillor.

He was elected to council in 2012 and stood down in 2021, after 7 terms as Mayor. He was recently re-elected at the 2024 election. During his absence from council Kevin spent time in contract Engagement roles with the National Emergency Management, Agency, New South Wales SES and the Murray Darling Basin Authority.

During his previous tenure on council, Kevin played a leading role in developing closer and more productive ties with communities across the region. He was central in developing the Two Cities One Community partnership with Wodonga Council and he is dedicated to improving the social and economic fabric of regional cities and towns. To this end he is a passionate supporter of a Greenfield Hospital development for Albury Wodonga and is also a strong advocate for better health outcomes for our city.

He was the Chair of the Riverina and Murray Joint Organisation (5 years), Deputy Chair of Regional Cities New South Wales (2 years) and the Chair of the ‘Evocities’ platform (5 years). A keen sportsman in his youth, Kevin retains a strong interest in developing sporting and recreational opportunities for the local community, and our young people. He is also an enthusiastic supporter of the arts and culture in Albury-Wodonga, which he believes should be promoted nationally as a destination of choice.
