Gary Rowe

Gary James Rowe (born 5 September 1952) is an Australian politician. He was the Liberal member for Cranbourne in the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 1992 to 2002.

Rowe was born in Coburg, Victoria, to Douglas James and Norma Lilian Rowe.

In 1992, Rowe was elected to the new seat of Cranbourne in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. Following the Kennett Government's defeat in 1999 he became Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Opposition.

In 2012, Rowe was elected as a councillor for Mayfield Ward in the City of Casey. Councillor Rowe was not re-elected to Casey City Council in October 2016, but was subsequently re-elected at a countback for Mayfield Ward in April 2017 after Councillor Steve Beardon resigned. He was dismissed alongside the rest of Casey City Council in 2020, following a municipal monitor's report that found the council had overseen significant governance failures. Regardless, he was once again re-elected as a councillor for Casey in 2024 after successfully contesting Correa Ward.
