The Council of Mayors (SEQ) was established in September 2005 as an independent political advocacy organisation to represent the interests of South East Queensland, one of the nation’s fastest growing regions. Council of Mayors (SEQ) consists of ten mayors representing the eleven councils that make up the South East Queensland local government region. The organisation uses its united voice and leverage to advocate for a better resourced SEQ with world-standard infrastructure and healthy and sustainable environments.

Council of Mayors (SEQ) works closely with Healthy Land and Water on a number of projects including the Resilient Rivers Initiative, which aims to improve the health of SEQ’s waterways by delivering a coordinated approach to catchment management.
