This was the first set of local elections held since the Lang Government's passing of universal adult suffrage in local government elections.[2] Prior to this, only real estate owners were able to vote in the election for an LGA.[3]
This was the first election for several newly-incorporated LGAs, including Willimbong Shire. Inversely, some councils did not hold elections, including the City of Sydney, which was placed under commissioner administration.[4]
