Campbelltown City Council is composed of 15 councillors elected proportionally to a single ward. The Labor Party won a plurality at the 2021 election with five seats.

In January 2022, councillors George Brticevic and Margaret Chivers both left Labor to sit as independents.[8]

On 11 July 2024, the Community First Team (CFT) and the Totally Locally Committed Party (TLCP) merged to form the Community First Totally Independent Party (CFTIP).[9] Both CFT and TLCP had one councillor elected each in 2021 (Josh Cotter and Warren Morrison respectively).[9]

The Liberal Party, which won four seats in 2021, is unable to recontest after missing the candidate nomination deadline.[10]

The Animal Justice Party, which has one sitting councillor (Matt Stellino), only has seven grouped candidates (along with one ungrouped candidate) and can only receive votes below-the-line.[11]

Canada Bay City Council is composed of eight councillors elected proportionally to a single ward, as well as a directly-elected mayor. At the 2021 election, both Our Local Community (OLC) and the Liberal Party won three seats (including OLC's Angelo Tsirekas elected as mayor).

On 13 December 2023, Tsirekas was dismissed as mayor by Minister for Local Government Ron Hoenig, one month after the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) found he had engaged in corrupt conuct.[12] He was banned from civic office for a period of five years.[13] On 25 January 2024, Liberal councillor Michael Megna was appointed by councillors to serve for the remainder of the term.

OLC has chosen not to recontest Canada Bay, with neither of the party's remaining councillors − Joseph Cordaro and Carmela Ruggeri − seeking re-election.[14]

Kurt Pudniks, who ran for the Greens in the Queensland seat of Leichhardt at the 2016 federal election, is contesting for the Libertarian Party as an ungrouped candidate.[15]

Northern Beaches Council is composed of five three-member wards, totalling 15 councillors.[19] At the 2021 election, Your Northern Beaches Independent Team (YNBIT) won a plurality of seats with six, although the Liberal Party had the largest vote percentage (35.1%).[20]

Frenchs Forest Ward councillor Michael Regan was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the member for Wakehurst at the 2023 state election.[21] Following this, Curl Curl Ward councillor Sue Heins took over from Regan as YNBIT leader and mayor on 16 May 2023.[22]

On 28 January 2024, Pittwater Ward councillor Michael Gencher left YNBIT to join the Liberal Party. According to the Northern Beaches Advocate, Gencher was one of several YNBIT councillors facing "pressure to stand aside" in favour of candidates aligned with teal independents.[23] Heins told the Manly Observer in response that "if Gencher needs more structure, then he has made the right move".[24] As a result of Gencher's defection, YNBIT lost its plurality on council.[25]

On 14 August 2024, the Liberal Party missed the candidate nomination deadline, preventing all of its Northern Beaches councillors and candidates from contesting the election.[26] Only Mandeep Singh, an ungrouped candidate in Pittwater Ward appearing without a party affiliation on the ballot, is endorsed by the Liberals.[27]
