Long-time Brisbane City Councillor Krista Adams has announced she will step down from her role as the city’s deputy mayor and will not contest the next council election.

Adams, who represents the Holland Park ward, was first elected as a councillor in 2008, and was appointed deputy mayor in 2019.

She is relinquishing her position as deputy, as well as her cabinet role as chair of the Economic Development, Nighttime Economy and Olympic Games Committee.

Adams, whose mother Gail Chiconi was a Brisbane City Councillor for nine years, said she felt “incredibly lucky” to have contributed to the city, but that it was “time to start considering a new path”.

“My roles over the past 17 years have been challenging and complex, but most of all they gave me the opportunity to make the suburbs I am so passionate about even better,” she said.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said he was sad about Adams’ decision to step down, but added that it allowed the council to “renew our leadership team and refresh our cabinet” well in advance of the 2028 election.

“Krista’s decision to step down this early in the term is just another demonstration of what an incredible team player she is,” he said.
