Two more Brisbane City councillors are set to retire before the next local election in March 2020, with their positions rumoured to be replaced by female candidates.
Ian McKenzie from Coorparoo and Norm Wyndham from McDowall, both from the Liberal National Party, have announced they will not seek preselection for their wards, adding on to the resignation of Councillor Julian Simmonds who is now contesting the federal seat of Ryan.
An official announcement of both the LNP and Labor’s candidates is expected soon, but former Labor mayoral candidate Rod Harding has announced he will recontest, as has Lord Mayor Graham Quirk.
