Yarra City Council is composed of three multi-member wards, each electing three councillors. [20]

All five Greens candidates were elected, giving the party a majority − the first time the party had won a majority on any council in Victoria. [21] Two independents and two Independent Socialist candidates were also elected. [22] [23]

The Labor Party endorsed five candidates, including Rowan Payne, who replaced Alicia Carr as one of two candidates in Langridge Ward after she withdrew for family reasons. [24] [25] However, they were unable to win any seats, marking the first time since the council's first election in 1996 that Labor had been without elected representation in Yarra. [26]

The Reason Party endorsed three candidates, while the Liberal Democratic Party and Animal Justice Party had one candidate each. [27] A local group, Richmond First, had two candidates in Melba Ward. [28]
