Previously known as the George Town City Council until 1976 and subsequently the Penang Island Municipal Council until 2014.

The Penang Island City Council (MBPP) is the local government that administers the city of George Town, which includes the entirety of Penang Island. The city council, which has jurisdiction over an area of 306 km² (118 sq mi), falls under the purview of the Penang state government.^[1]

The Penang Island City Council is responsible for urban planning, heritage preservation, public health, sanitation, waste management, traffic management, environmental protection, building control, social and economic development, and general maintenance of urban infrastructure. In addition, the local government, in a joint effort with Rapid Penang, runs a free shuttle bus service within the heart of George Town.

The headquarters of the city government is located within the City Hall in George Town, which had served as the seat of the George Town City Council until 1976. It also has offices within Komtar, the tallest skyscraper in the city.
