The 1933 Queensland local elections were held throughout April 1933 to elect the mayors and councils of almost all local government areas (LGAs) in Queensland, Australia.[1] No election was held for Brisbane City Council, which had last had an election in 1931 and did not have another one scheduled until 1934.[2]
Not all LGAs had their elections on the same day − some were held on 1 April, while others held later in the month on 29 April.[3][4][5]
Notable results included the Independent Reform Party defeating the Citizens' United Party and gaining a "sweeping majority" on Warwick Shire Council, as well as James Douglas Annand being elected mayorofToowoomba "without addressing a meeting, canvassing, advertising, or in any way spending a penny on the contest".[6][7] During the campaign for Rockhampton Harbour Board, a "well-known public man" who was contesting the election was assaulted at his home on the night of 5 April, requiring medical attention.[8]
The Tamborine Shire Council election was postponed.[9]
A number of political parties endorsed candidates for the elections.
