Moore was Mayor of Singleton from 2008 to 2012, serving as its fist female leader.
She was defeated by Martin at the 2012 election.
Going into the first Council meeting on September 26, Moore will be looking to co-operate with her colleagues, including John Martin, who was re-elected as a Councillor.
"I've been part of that team [the former Council] for the past four years so we'll continue to work with both John Martin and Tony MacNamara who were Mayoral candidates," she said
"We'll, I'm sure, all work together well."
She's also committed Council to remaining civil, and not getting bogged down in party politics.
"Singleton's generally been free of party politics. All except one candidate stood as an independent," she said.
"I'm sure that we'll all work together, not all with the same ideas, obviously because you wouldn't want [us] all having the same ideas."
"But all appreciating each other's ideas and thoughts and working together as a team is hugely important."
