Darebin City Council is composed of nine single-member wards. Darebin's ward structure was changed prior to the 2020 election, making this the second election with single-member wards. [6]

Councillors Tim Laurence and Julie Williams, who were both elected as part of "Labor Members for Darebin" in 2020, did not contest the election as endorsed Labor Party candidates. [7] [8] [9]

Independent councillor Susan Rennie did not recontest South Central Ward, where she endorsed Greens candidate Ruth Jelley, and instead unsuccessfully contested South East Ward. [10] [11] Additionally, Greens councillors Tom Hannan (South Ward) and Trent McCarthy (South West Ward) did not seek re-election. [12] [13]

Labor won a majority with five seats, while the Greens retained three seats, although mayor Susanne Newton lost her seat of West Ward. [14] [15] [16]

Nillumbik Shire Council is composed of seven single-member wards. Nillumbik's ward structure was changed prior to the 2020 election, making this the second election with single-member wards. [49]

The Greens endorsed two candidates, with incumbent Greens councillor Ben Ramcharan not recontesting Sugarloaf Ward. [50] The party chose Morgan Ranieri to contest the ward, but he withdrew as a candidate on 9 September 2024. [51] Shortly before the close of candidate nominations, the Greens replaced Ranieri with Rosemary Storey. [52]

This is the first election for the City of Whittlesea since 2016, as the council was dismissed and put into administration in March 2020. [55] Four former councillors − Lawrie Cox, Stevan Kozmevksi, Christine Stow and John Fry − contested the 2024 election. [56]

Former Queensland MP Aidan McLindon led a team of 11 candidates known as "Our Community Independents", which included two Liberal Party members. [57] [58]
