Brisbane City Council is the local government authority for the City of Brisbane, responsible for providing a wide range of municipal services and infrastructure to residents, businesses, visitors, and community groups within its jurisdiction. Its responsibilities include management of public transport and parking, waste collection and recycling, parks and recreation, libraries and community facilities, building and planning approvals, and environmental and water services.

The Council acts both as regulator (through permits, local laws, planning and development oversight) and service provider (such as community support, arts and culture events, public amenities, infrastructure maintenance). It also plays a role in emergency management and keeping communities informed via updates, public communication, and participation in city‑wide planning, including long‑term strategies like managing growth, sustainability, and preparing for major events.
