Brisbane City Council

**Brisbane City Council** (**BCC**) is a local government authority for the City of Brisbane, a local government area (LGA) representing most of Brisbane and the largest LGA in Australia.

The Brisbane City Council acts a bit like a unicameral (single-chamber) parliament, similar to the Queensland Parliament or the two territory parliaments. It has 27 councillors, 26 of which are elected from one of the 26 wards of Brisbane, while the remaining one is the Lord Mayor, who is directly elected. Elections are held every four years.
