Mayor - Mount Isa

Peta MacRae is the current Mayor of Mount Isa. Before being elected as Mayor in 2024, she served as a Councillor for eight years, occupying the portfolios of sport and recreation, tourism and events, youth, community engagement, the pool, and the library. Mayor MacRae’s priorities for the local area are strengthening the economy through encouraging diversity of business, growing our own through educational opportunities and professional development, and creating an appealing and liveable city to attract residents and visitors alike. Mayor MacRae says, “The pending closure of Glencore’s underground operations is a huge loss for Mount Isa, but as one door is closing, others are opening to protect our workforce, diversify our economy and build the industries, infrastructure and services we need for the future”.
