The 2021 South Gippsland Shire Council election was held in October 2021 to elect nine councillors for South Gippsland Shire, a local government area (LGA) in Victoria, Australia.[1]
This was the first election for the council since it was dismissed by the sacked by the state government in June 2019, which resulted in its scheduled 2020 election being delayed by a year. The only elected candidate who had previously served on the council was Mohya Davies, who was elected in 2012 but defeated in 2016.[2]
The Victorian Greens endorsed two candidates, while Liberal Party member Nathan Herseyn also contested the election.[3] The local Labor Party branch expressed interest, but did not end up endorsing any candidates.[4]
