Cr Ismay’s fellow councillors elected him as mayor at a statutory meeting on Wednesday night.
He replaces Debra Nelson, who served two terms as mayor.
Cr Ismay – who represents Hindmarsh Shire Council’s north ward – lives in Rainbow, and owns and runs a hardware store there that his grandfather established more than 90 years ago.
He has served as captain of the town’s fire brigade and as Rainbow Town Committee chairman, among other community roles.
Cr Ismay was first elected to Hindmarsh council in 2013.
