The 2005 Victorian local elections were held on 26 November 2005 to elect the councils of 54 of the 79 local government areas in Victoria, Australia.[1]
These were the last local elections in Victoria that were conducted periodically, with changes to the Local Government Act 1989 seeing all 79 LGAs voting at the same time in 2008. 25 councils were not up for election in 2005.[2]
The Greens increased their representation, although incumbent councillor Colleen Hartland was defeated in Maribyrnong's Sheok Ward.[3]
