List of local government political parties in Australia

In addition to political parties registered at the state and national level, a number of political parties and groups compete solely in local government elections in Australia.

[2] The Australian Greens have endorsed councillors in all states and territories, except South Australia.

[17] At local elections in Queensland, candidates and incumbent councillors can formally register groups (which operate similarly to parties) with the state electoral commission.

According to psephologist Kevin Bonham, tickets formed for Tasmanian local elections are "alliances of convenience that may have an ideological basis," not necessarily parties.

Local elections in Western Australia are officially non-partisan, and the vast majority of candidates and councillors are not members of any political party.
