2016 Sydney City Council election

The 2016 Sydney City Council election was held on 10 September 2016 to elect nine councillors and a lord mayor to the City of Sydney. The elections coincided with the 2016 New South Wales local elections.

Clover Moore was re-elected Lord Mayor of Sydney.

Background
Clover Moore, an independent who has served as Lord Mayor since 2004, successfully won the last election, held in 2012.

In 2014, she did not declare her candidacy, prompting many to believe she would not run.

Many parties, namely the Liberals, used the slogan "No Moore" in their election campaigns.

Moore successfully won a fourth consecutive term in office.

Electoral system
Unlike other councils in Sydney and elsewhere in Australia, the Sydney City Council has no wards.
