The Holland Park Ward is a Brisbane City Council ward covering Holland Park, Holland Park West, Mt Gravatt, Mt Gravatt East and Tarragindi.[1]
History
Holland Park was the ward of Brisbane's only ever known Indigenous councillor, Robbie Williams. Williams, a Yugambeh man and Labor councillor, filled the vacancy caused by Kerry Rea's resignation in October 2007.[2] In December that year, he died of a heart attack. The seat remained vacant until the election in March 2008.[3]
