History

Toowong Ward was created in 1994 as a merger of Liberal-held Taringa Ward and Labor-held Paddington Ward. The ward was renamed Paddington Ward prior to the 2016 election after shifting to the north and east, and losing parts of Toowong to Walter Taylor Ward. [3] [4]

Matic stepped down in April 2023, with Clare Jenkinson being confirmed as his successor in June 2023. [5]
