Richmond Valley meet your candidates

lead model in Casino Beef Week’s Fashion Parade. Additionally, I enjoy donning the ‘Big Fellow’s’ red suit multiple times each year, eagerly anticipating the fun and excitement it brings to the community.

Currently serving as Deputy Mayor, I am proud of this council’s achievements and what is planned for the Richmond Valley’s future.

Community engagement is a high priority and I pride myself on being very approachable, as many would know.

Robert Mustow

Mayor & Group D

I was born in Casino and schooled at Casino Public and Casino High, a panel beater by trade. I owned and operated my successful smash repair business for 15 years.

Since becoming Mayor

I am very proud of the council’s achievements during some very trying times, drought, horrifc bushfres, covid, six natural disasters, including the 2022 devastating food event.

Each of these challenges has tested our community, but they have also highlighted our collective strength and commitment to recovery and rebuilding.

I acknowledge that the path ahead remains challenging, yet I am confdent in our ability to overcome these obstacles together.

I am committed to the Council continuing to be proactive and seizing any opportunities that present themselves in the future to enhance our community and address the needs of our constituents.

Our lifestyle and environment are very important to me and as our region grows we must make sure this is preserved for future generations.

With council’s focus on housing, intergenerational infrastructure renewal (sewer and water), economic development and attracting business, I am hopeful children fnishing their schooling will be able to fnd employment in our Local Government area instead of needing to leave.
