The Gabba Ward is a Brisbane City Council ward covering Woolloongabba, Dutton Park, East Brisbane, Highgate Hill, Kangaroo Point, South Brisbane and West End.[3]
This was the first ward ever won by the Queensland Greens. It is currently held by Trina Massey, who succeeded Jonathan Sriranganathan in 2023 and was elected in her own right in 2024.
Greens candidate Jonathan Sriranganathan (then known as Sri) won the ward in 2016, with a 14% gain in primary votes. The ward was retained by the Greens at the 2020 election, with a swing towards Sriranganathan of 12.4% in first preference votes, achieving a total of 62.3% of two-party preferred votes.[4]
