The Miri City Council (Malay: Majlis Bandaraya Miri, abbreviated MBM) is the city council which administers the city of Miri in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. This council was established after the city was officially granted city status on 20 May 2005. Initially covering 997 square kilometres, the area of jurisdiction of the city was expanded to over 5,000 square kilometres with the addition of Bario sub-district in 2015.
The council consists of the mayor plus twenty-eight councillors appointed to serve a one-year term by the Sarawak State Government. The purpose of this council is to upkeep infrastructure, public amenities, and facilities. In addition, the council also functions to ensure an orderly construction of buildings, safeguard public health, and beautify the environment.[1]
