Key Brisbane City Council wards are being eyed by the Greens, who are keen to unbalance the LNP's seat of power in next year's council election.

After the federal election results, which saw swings towards the environmental and social issues party in several inner-city Brisbane seats, the 2020 council election is the Greens' next target.

Issues such as overdevelopment, public transport and community control over what happens in Brisbane are messages the Greens believe will win them votes away from the two primary parties.

The party's only councillor in Brisbane City Council, Jonathan Sri (The Gabba), has been preselected to run again for his own ward after wresting it from Labor in 2016, and he is confident of holding it next year.
