Worth noting: although denied a poll on getting Pittwater Council returned as part of this election, undeterred, members of the community were out gathering signatures for a THIRD petition to present to the current Minister for Local Government. Everyone asked while PON staff were 'out and about' signed.

Results timetable: 2024 Local Government elections
Acting NSW Electoral Commissioner Dr Matthew Phillips said counting would begin as soon as polling places close, with results progressively published on the NSW Electoral Commission’s website.
“To ensure the health and safety of staff and scrutineers, counting will conclude by 10pm on election night,” he said.
No counting will be conducted on Sunday, 15 September. Other critical election operations will take place on Sunday, including the delivery of ballot papers and other materials to our centralised count centres.
“Our staff will have a very long day today after starting early and are about to start a long night of counting. In line with our work health and safety principles, staff will get a well-deserved break tomorrow before counting resumes on Monday,” said Dr Phillips.
Counting will then proceed in line with legislative requirements and the published count timeline.
All count results (Initial counts, Check counts, and Distribution of preferences) will be published as soon as they are available.
