The 2024 Norfolk Island local election is expected to be held on 14 September 2024 to elect the Norfolk Island Regional Council, the local government body of Norfolk Island.[1]
The council is subject to the state-level legislation of New South Wales, and as such, the election will be part of the 2024 New South Wales local elections.[2]
On 4 February 2021, then-Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Territories Nola Marino suspended the council and appointed Mike Colreavy as an Interim Administrator, following the postponement of the 2020 election. On 6 December 2021, the council was formally dismissed and Colreavy became Administrator for a period of three years.[3]
At the most recent council election in 2016, five councillors were elected − four independents and one member of the Norfolk Liberals.[4]
