This is a list of members of the Northern Territory Legislative Council from 10 December 1949 to 28 April 1951.
[1] The Commonwealth Act establishing the Legislative Council contained a provision that elections for the non-appointed seats would occur on the same day as federal elections for the House of Representatives.
In 1951, the Menzies government called an early federal election for 28 April.
On 23 March, the acting Administrator stated that there was doubt over this interpretation of the Act, and that the Administrator had decided not to hold a council election that year, which would result in the council term continuing until the next federal election in 1954—however, this five-year term would be a breach of the Act which specified a three-year term length.
[1] On 29 March, the Administrator announced that an election would be held on 28 April.
