Sydney City Council election
2004 Sydney City Council election
Councillors
All 10 seats on the City Council (including the lord mayor) 5 seats needed for a majority
This lists parties that won seats. See the complete results below.
The 2004 Sydney City Council election was held on 27 March 2004 to elect nine councillors and a lord mayor to the City of Sydney . The election was held as part of the statewide local government elections in New South Wales , Australia.[1] [2]
The election followed the amalgamation of Sydney with the neighbouring City of South Sydney . Independent MP Clover Moore was elected lord mayor, becoming the first popularly elected female Lord Mayor of Sydney.[3] [4]
Background [ edit ]
In 2002, parts of the City of South Sydney and Leichhardt were proposed to be merged with the City of Sydney. In 2003, Potts Point, Elizabeth Bay, Kings Cross, Darlinghurst , Chippendale , Ultimo and parts of Rushcutters Bay , Camperdown and Darlington were transferred from South Sydney to the City of Sydney. As the financial viability of the residual City of South Sydney was under threat as a result, the City of Sydney and the City of South Sydney were combined by proclamation on 6 February 2004.[5] The 2003 merger was perceived as an attempt to bring more working class Labor Party voters into the City of Sydney.[6] [7]
Candidates [ edit ]
A total of 67 candidates stood for election, including 14 lord mayoral candidates.[8]
Lord mayoral candidates are listed in the order they appeared on the ballot:[9]
Team Clover [ edit ]
On 24 February 2004, independent MP Clover Moore announced she would run for lord mayor, labelling the council's sacking a "cynical grab for power." Despite her ideological differences with Turnbull, she also sharply denounced the sacking of a democratically elected mayor.[18]
Moore formed the Clover Moore Independent team , which included six other candidates.[19]
Former federal MP Michael Lee contested as Labor 's lord mayoral candidate. He officially announced his candidacy on 3 March 2004.[20]
Liberal [ edit ]
Former South Sydney councillor Shayne Mallard contested the election as the first-ever endorsed Liberal Party lord mayoral candidate.[21]
The Greens contested the lord mayoralty for the first time, with Chris Harris as their candidate.[22] The Australian Democrats and Socialist Alliance both endorsed candidates.[23] [24]
Incumbent Sydney councillor Dixie Coulton, a former Living Sydney and Sydney Independents member, was one of six independent candidates.[25] [26]
