Cr Robert Szatkowski was first elected to Council in 2020. This is his second term on Council.
Cr Szatkowski has lived in Wyndham since 1986 and went to school in the area. He currently lives in Tarneit with his wife and two children.
He has served as an executive at the Laverton Softball Club, Werribee Softball Association and as a Director at Werribee Plaza Bingo (a social enterprise).
