The list of people vying for your vote in the upcoming local government elections across Queensland has been released and includes a former One Nation leader, a Bachelorette contestant and a Palm Island protester.

Elections will be held for mayors and councillors across the state's 77 councils on March 28, and candidate nominations have now closed.

The full list of candidates is available on the Electoral Commission Queensland website.

Here's a snapshot of some of those making their bid for council.

Former One Nation leader aims for Sunshine Coast

The man at the centre of One Nation controversy last year has thrown his hat in the ring to run for a position on the Sunshine Coast Council.

Steve Dickson resigned from the party in April last year, relinquishing his post as the party's state leader shortly after the airing of an Al Jazeera documentary.

The program revealed secret footage of Mr Dickson travelling to the United States to meet with the National Rifle Association in a bid to sure up political donations for One Nation. Separate footage released to Channel Nine weeks later showed him touching a dancer in a strip club on the same trip.

Mr Dickson is among four others running for the spot in Division 7.

Despite his recent time with One Nation, Mr Dickson began his political career in the former Maroochy Shire Council 20 years ago.

He then delved into state politics in 2006, winning a state seat for the LNP — later going on to become sports minister under the Newman government.

Mr Dickson defected from the LNP to One Nation before his defeat in 2017.

After announcing his retirement from politics in 2016, Lawrence Springborg — also known as "the Borg" — is back in the game and running unopposed.

The former LNP leader and one-time health minister in the Newman government has officially nominated to run as mayor of Goondiwindi in southern Queensland.

The 52-year-old said he wanted to get into local government, despite offers in the private and public sector interstate.

"Whilst that window has closed on my political career, another one may open," Mr Springborg said.

"After having time with my family, many people kept discussing it with me and in November last year it solidified in my conscience that it's something that I wanted to do and I put my name forward.

"People out here want local government to focus on core responsibilities."

Jess Glasgow, who made headlines after his appearance on Channel 10's The Bachelorette show late last year, is contesting a spot with Noosa Council.

The Office of the Independent Assessor (OIA) has been investigating Mr Glasgow's appearance on the dating show in October, after receiving complaints about comments he made on the show at the time.

Paul Tully, who was ousted when the State Government sacked the beleaguered Ipswich City Council in 2018, is one of three former councillors vying for a comeback.

Mr Tully said he always wanted to return.

"Once it's been in your blood for 39 years, it's pretty hard to step away from it," Mr Tully said.

"There's unfinished business and after 39 years I still think I've got something to contribute.

"One of the major issues is about no more super dumps for Ipswich.

"It's mainly environmental issues like protection of koalas and also the big thing that's come out of Ipswich is people want free vouchers for tips."

Lex Wotton, who spent two years in prison over his role in the Palm Island riots, has nominated to be the island's mayor.

In recent years, Mr Wotton successfully led a class action against the Queensland Government, along with hundreds of claimants, over racial discrimination during the handling of the crisis.

Mr Wotton previously served on the council prior to his 2004 arrest.

The Palm Island riots were sparked over the death in custody of Cameron Doomadgee.
