Frank Northey Sleeman (4 March 1915 – 1 August 2000) was an Australian politician, who served as Lord Mayor of Brisbane from 1976 to 1982.
Sleeman grew up in Redfern, Sydney. He attended Canterbury Boys' High School.[1]
Sleeman was a lieutenant in the army at the outbreak of the Second World War. He was captured by the Japanese and spent 3 years and 8 months as a prisoner of war in Jentsuji Prison Camp Japan.
After the war, Sleeman settled in Townsville and worked as a salesman for the Australian-arm of the General Electric Company. He married Norma Robinson on 29 December 1945.
Major Sleeman became Lord Mayor of Brisbane in 1976 after the Labor party leader in the Brisbane City Council, Bryan Walsh, failed to hold his ward. The major project of his time in office was the building of the site for the 1982 Commonwealth Games, which is now named the Sleeman Centre in his honour.
