About CMA

The New South Wales Country Mayors Association (CMA) is an incorporated body formed to speak for the residents of regional and rural New South Wales.

The association was established before 1980 with a handful of members, and has now grown to represent the vast majority of regional and rural local government areas within the state.

Each member council is represented by their Mayor and General Manager. The association meets quarterly or more often if the need arises.
