John William Fowler (19 July 1954 – 29 September 2023) was an Australian high school teacher and a mayor of the City of South Sydney.[1][2]
Fowler was born in Sydney and his family lived in Wallacia when he was a child. He attended Newington College (1968–1971).[3] In 1908, his grandfather John Fowler was appointed postmaster in the town we now know as Wallacia and he became an alderman on the Mulgoa Municipal Council.[4][5] His father Bernard Noel Fowler was an Independent Mayor of Penrith in 1956 and 1957.[6] His older brother, Ross Fowler OAM, was a Liberal Mayor of the same city on three occasions: 1995–1996, 2013–2014 and 2018–2020.[7]
