Mr Packham - who ran for council in 2012 and 2017, finishing 10th on both occasions to miss out on election by the narrowest of margins - announced his candidacy for 2021 in July.

The former solo candidate said then that he would be running a five-person ticket this year and he has now put the names to the team.

He says the ticket's tagline is "Ready for Business" and "we have a focus on business, good governance, attracting investment to Bathurst, promoting the city and local business".

"We want to progress the issues that keep being raised but have resulted in little or no action," he said.

As well as Mr Packham, who is the chief executive officer of Bathurst disability service provider Vivability and has lived in Bathurst all his life, the team is made up of Sharon Sewell, Kevin Walker, Tina Mitchell and Kieran O'Dwyer.

Ms Sewell, who was born and raised in Bathurst, has been involved in a number of community and sporting organisations and is currently the vice president of the United Services Union and a director of Unity (Reliance) Bank.

Mr Walker, who grew up in Albion Park, moved to the Central West in 2010 to attend university and relocated to Bathurst in 2014 and says he is "passionate about ensuring that Bathurst people have access to good services".

He manages Viva Clinical services.

Ms Mitchell, who grew up on Sydney's lower north shore, has a background working for the federal Attorney-General's Department in law enforcement, including work in the diplomatic and consular protection group and Counter Terrorism First Response Team.

She relocated to Bathurst in 2002 and owns and operates a small business.

Finally, Mr O'Dwyer, who was born and raised in Gosford and moved to Bathurst in 2010 for university, founded Bathurst Strength and Conditioning in 2017 with some close friends and is in the process of establishing another facility in Orange.

Mr Packham said his priorities, if elected, will include a secure water supply for Bathurst; demanding a higher standard of behaviour in the council chamber and progressing the utilisation of the former TAFE building and ambulance station buildings.

The city is set to face a packed council ballot paper.
