Canada Bay City Council is composed of eight councillors elected proportionally to a single ward, as well as a directly-elected mayor. At the 2021 election, both Our Local Community (OLC) and the Liberal Party won three seats (including OLC's Angelo Tsirekas elected as mayor).

On 13 December 2023, Tsirekas was dismissed as mayor by Minister for Local Government Ron Hoenig, one month after the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) found he had engaged in corrupt conuct.[11] He was banned from civic office for a period of five years.[12] On 25 January 2024, Liberal councillor Michael Megna was appointed by councillors to serve for the remainder of the term.

OLC has chosen not to recontest Canada Bay, with neither of the party's remaining councillors − Joseph Cordaro and Carmela Ruggeri − seeking re-election.[13]

Kurt Pudniks, who ran for the Greens in the Queensland seat of Leichhardt at the 2016 federal election, is contesting for the Libertarian Party as an ungrouped candidate.[14]
