The 2014 Newcastle lord mayoral by-election was held on 15 November 2014 to elect the lord mayor of Newcastle, a local government area in New South Wales, Australia. It was held on the same day as two by-elections on Blue Mountains City Council.[1]
The by-election occurred due to the resignation of incumbent Jeff McCloy, who stepped down from office on 17 August 2014 following an Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry into donations he made to Liberal Party candidates during his tenure as a property developer.[2] [3]
