Shellharbour is composed of four two-member wards and a directly-elected mayor. Prior to this election, the council was undivided and the mayor was chosen by councillors, but a referendum held in 2017 saw voters change the electoral system.[8][9]
The Liberal Party did not endorse any candidates, including its one councillor elected in 2017.
