Councillor Ian Stromborg was first elected to Bankstown City Council in 1987, and since then has continuously represented the constituents of West Ward.

He has the distinction of serving as Mayor for five terms. Early in his public life Ian Stromborg was elected Mayor for the period 1988/89, just a year after becoming a Councillor. He again served as Mayor during 1989/91 and yet again, for a further two terms from 1998 to 2000. This was particularly significant as 2000 was the Olympic Year and the United States Olympic Committee established their administrative headquarters in Bankstown.

In September 2006, Ian was elected as a Director of the Revesby Workers' Club. His appointment was a welcome addition to a strong and stable Board of Directors. The club is one of the largest and most successful in NSW with some 55,000 members and it has some big plans for the future.

Ian Stromborg is a lifelong resident of Bankstown. He is married to Lesley and has two daughters, who both attended local public schools and graduated from the University of Western Sydney.
