The 2016 Brisbane City Council election was held on 19 March 2016 to elect a lord mayor and 26 councillors to the City of Brisbane. The election was held as part of the statewide local government elections in Queensland, Australia.
The election resulted in the re-election of the Liberal National Party to a majority in the chamber, with incumbent LNP Lord Mayor Graham Quirk also being returned. The Liberal Nationals increased their representation by one ward to a total of 19 of 26. The Lord Mayoral result of 59.3% of the two-party-preferred vote for Quirk was a reduction from the 69.5% result at the previous election.
The main opposition party, the Labor Party was reduced to 5 wards, its lowest number in over a decade.
The Queensland Greens won their first ward in this election, with Jonathan Sri being elected in The Gabba Ward.[1]
