2024 New South Wales local elections

The 2024 New South Wales local elections are scheduled to be held on 14 September 2024 to elect the councils of 126 of the 128 local government areas (LGAs) in New South Wales. Several councils will also hold mayoral elections.

The Central Coast Council was under administration in 2021 and therefore not up for election at the time, meaning this is the first time a new council will be voted in since 2017. Additionally, an election is also likely to be held for Central Darling Shire for the first time since 2012, after the council was dismissed in 2014.

An election is also expected to be held for Norfolk Island Regional Council, which last held an election in 2016 and has been under an Administrator since 2021.

Liverpool investigation
On 26 April 2024, Minister for Local Government Ron Hoenig announced an investigation into Liverpool City Council "amid ongoing reports about dysfunction and staff matters within council".

The investigation concluded on 18 July, and Hoenig announced he intended to defer Liverpool's election and suspend the council because of "widespread and serious concerns about dysfunction".

Political parties
The following registered parties are expected to contest the local elections:
 * Animal Justice Party
 * Greens
 * Labor Party
 * Libertarian
 * Liberal Party
 * Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party
 * Socialist Alliance
 * Sustainable Australia Party
 * The Small Business Party

In addition, a number of local government-registered parties are also expected to contest.

Party changes before elections
A number of councillors joined or left parties before the 2024 elections.
