Cr Joy Banerji - Mt Waverley Ward

Joy Banerji

Currently, I am in my third term as a Councillor. I was first elected in March 2003 and have been Mayor twice in 2004 and 2006.

I was born in New Delhi, India. Lived in South Australia from 1972-1992. Some of my hobbies and interests include pursuing a healthy lifestyle, keeping fit by attending my local gym and running. I have always had a great interest in the arts, visual and performing. I also enjoy watching various sports. I have lived in Burwood since the year 2000, liked the idea of being close to good services, facilities and schools. I have three children ; one attending university and two in secondary school.

I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from Adelaide University & a Degree in Community Development, Swinburne University.

I worked in the banking industry before returning to study and being more interested in community development, which prompted my move towards local government and representing my community at the local council level.
