If one of the candidates for each of the positions is successful, why does he also have to be successfully elected as an alderman when he obviously is a member of council by being elected mayor or deputy mayor?

If none of the mayoral and deputy candidates are successful in doing this do we have a council with no mayor or deputy?
— DAVID PARKER, West Launceston.
