Opposition[3] Kesbewa Urban Council (Sinhala: කැස්බෑව නගර සභාව, Tamil: கெஸ்பேவா நகர சபை) is the local authority for the city of Kesbewa and surrounding suburbs in Sri Lanka.

The vision of the council as stated on their website is:[4] To provide health services, roads, public utilities and welfare services by efficiently and effectively utilising the human and physical resources of the Municipal Council to promote the well-being and quality of life of the people in the Kesbewa Municipal Council area.In 1987, a new local government system called Pradeshiya Sabha was introduced.

The jurisdiction of a Pradeshiya Sabha was mostly confined to a Divisional Secretariat, and accordingly the Kesbewa Pradeshiya Sabha was incorporated with effect from 1 January 1988.

[1] With the rapid urbanisation of the Kesbewa area, the Kesbewa Urban Council and the Boralesgamuwa Urban Council were incorporated as two Local Government Institutions with effect from 15 April 2006 through a Special Gazette Notification No.

It is bounded on the east by Polgasowita - Kottawa main road and Homagama Pradeshiya Sabha boundary.
