Emily Kim

Councillor for Calamvale

Emily Kim is the Councillor for Calamvale Ward and advocates for one of Brisbane’s largest council wards by area. Emily is a true local, born and raised in Calamvale and she now lives just five minutes down the road from her family home.

Prior to being elected Councillor, Emily knocked on thousands of doors, listened to residents, and spread a simple but important message:

It’s time to put locals first. It’s time for our local suburbs to get more value out of their council rates.

Once declared as Councillor, the work of delivering change begins in earnest. This means working with all levels of government, pulling every lever at her disposal to deliver local fixes and upgrades, and bringing new energy to our suburbs by organising new local activities, events, and initiatives.

Emily grew up volunteering for her local church and continues her proud association with community, including volunteering as a member of the Calamvale Lions. Emily’s love for her community also inspired her to work with local State Members of Parliament, the late Duncan Pegg and then James Martin MP.

As a proud Queenslander, Emily represented Queensland at the National Powerlifting Championships. Emily knows the legacy that good services in our local suburbs can provide for future generations, which is a focus of hers leading up to the 2032 Olympics.

Councillor Kim currently serves on both the Transport Committee and the City Standards Committee.
