Darebin City Council is composed of nine single-member wards. Darebin's ward structure was changed prior to the 2020 election, making this the second election with single-member wards.[6]
Councillors Tim Laurence and Julie Williams, who were both elected as part of "Labor Members for Darebin" in 2020, did not contest the election as endorsed Labor Party candidates.[7][8][9]
Independent councillor Susan Rennie did not recontest South Central Ward, where she endorsed Greens candidate Ruth Jelley, and instead unsuccessfully contested South East Ward.[10][11] Additionally, Greens councillors Tom Hannan (South Ward) and Trent McCarthy (South West Ward) did not seek re-election.[12][13]
Labor won a majority with five seats, while the Greens retained three seats, although mayor Susanne Newton lost her seat of West Ward.[14][15][16]

Merri-bek City Council (known as Moreland until September 2022) is composed of 11 single-member wards. Prior to the 2024 election, it was composed of three multi-member wards (two four-member, one three-member), but the electoral structure has changed as a result of the Local Government Act 2020.[34]
Labor, the Greens, the Victorian Socialists and Socialist Alliance all continued to endorse candidates.[35][36] The Fusion Party endorsed Owen Miller in Bulleke-bek Ward as the party's first-ever local elections candidate.[37][38] Incumbent councillor Oscar Yildiz led "Your Local Independents" with ten candidates.[39][40]

Nillumbik Shire Council is composed of seven single-member wards. Nillumbik's ward structure was changed prior to the 2020 election, making this the second election with single-member wards.[46]
The Greens endorsed two candidates, with incumbent Greens councillor Ben Ramcharan not recontesting Sugarloaf Ward.[47] The party chose Morgan Ranieri to contest the ward, but he withdrew as a candidate on 9 September 2024.[48] Shortly before the close of candidate nominations, the Greens replaced Ranieri with Rosemary Storey.[49]

Whittlesea City Council is composed of eleven single-member wards. Prior to the 2024 election, it was composed of three multi-member wards (two four-member, one three-member), but the electoral structure has changed as a result of the Local Government Act 2020.[51]
This is the first election for the City of Whittlesea since 2016, as the council was dismissed and put into administration in March 2020.[52] Four former councillors − Lawrie Cox, Stevan Kozmevksi, Christine Stow and John Fry − contested the 2024 election.[53]
Former Queensland MP Aidan McLindon led a team of 11 candidates known as "Our Community Independents", which included two Liberal Party members.[54][55]
