The 2016 Tweed Shire Council election was held on 29 October 2016 to elect seven councillors to the Tweed Shire, a local government area of New South Wales, Australia.[1] [2]
The election was scheduled to be held a month earlier on 10 September 2016 as part of the statewide local elections, however it was postponed following the death of No High-Rise candidate Ken "Stents" Nicholson, aged 88. Nicholson died on 19 August 2016, after suffering a heart attack and fall.[3]
76 candidates in 15 groups (as well as four ungrouped candidates) contested the election.[4]
