Established in 2011, Serving Mosman is an independent, non-aligned party committed to advancing the best interests of the Mosman community through the election of representatives to Mosman Council. Our Story
In the 2008 Mosman local government election, the community voted for significant changes: the abolition of the ward system, the popular election of the Mayor, and the reduction of Councillor
s from nine to seven. This led community members to approach Peter Abelson, a highly respected former Mayor and Councillor, to seek re-election. Peter Abelson’s leadership as Mosman's first popularly elected Mayor brought immediate positive changes, making the council more customer-focused and service-oriented. During his term, Serving Mosman led the successful fight to keep Mosman independent and prevent forced amalgamation, a campaign supported by the community and funded by the council. In 2017, Carolyn Corrigan, backed by Peter Abelson, was elected as Mosman's first popularly elected female Mayor. Re-elected in 2021, she served alongside Serving Mosman’s Michael Randall, Pip Friedrich, and Sarah Hughes. Deputy Mayor Pip Friedrich and Clr Michael Randall are seeking re-election for the new Council term in 2024, with Carolyn endorsing Ann Marie Kimber as Serving Mosman’s 2024 Mayoral candidate. Serving Mosman has a tradition of promoting strong community advocates, encouraging new voices and civic representation. Our 2024 team blends experience and fresh perspectives, committed to our foundational principles of service, accountability, consultation, and courtesy. Guiding Principles & Key Policies
