Parkinson Ward was a Brisbane City Council ward covering Parkinson and surrounding suburbs. It was abolished as part of the 2015 redistribution and replaced by Calamvale Ward, this taking effect at the 2016 election.
History Following a 2007 redistribution, the ward was created to replace Labor-held Acacia Ridge Ward, while gaining area from Richlands Ward and losing area to Runcorn Ward and Moorooka Ward.
Incumbent Acacia Ridge councillor Kevin Bianchi did not contest the election, and Angela Owen-Taylor won it for the Liberal Party with a two-party-preferred swing of almost 10%. She was re-elected in 2012 with a further 10.7% swing.
