Chandler Ward

The Chandler Ward comprises the suburbs of Burbank, Carina Heights, Carindale, Chandler, Gumdale, Mackenzie, Rochedale and parts of Belmont, Camp Hill, Mansfield and Mt Gravatt East.  

Councillor Adrian Schrinner

Adrian was appointed as Deputy Lord Mayor to Graham Quirk and has served as the Councillor for Chandler Ward since September 2005.

He is a true local who grew up in the area and completed his entire schooling within the Ward. He currently lives in Carindale with his wife Nina.

As a teenager, Adrian's passion was flying and he spent many years working in his family's small business to help fund flying lessons. He flew a light aircraft solo for the first time at the age of 17.

Adrian served briefly in the Royal Australian Air Force before his strong sense of community motivated him to get involved in local government.

Prior to his election he worked as an advisor to various elected representatives at both a federal and local government level since 1998.

His qualifications include a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in government) and a Graduate Certificate in Governance and Public Affairs from the University of Queensland.

Adrian loves Brisbane and is passionate about his local area. He believes that the south eastern suburbs are the best part of Brisbane to live in, and he is working to help make them even better for the future.

Civic Cabinet and Committee responsibilities

Adrian is the Chairman of the Finance, Economic Development and Administration Committee and is a member of Civic Cabinet, together with the Lord Mayor and the six other committee chairs.

This committee oversees the financial management of Australia's largest council. A key part of this role is assisting the Lord Mayor with the preparation of Council's annual budget. Through responsible financial management, Council has been able to invest more than ever before in our suburbs, whilst also delivering the major road and transport upgrades our growing city needs.

In July 2010, the Lord Mayor asked Adrian to also take responsibility for Council's Economic Development program. This program works to enhance Brisbane's capacity for long-term economic growth and includes the oversight of Brisbane Marketing as well as the Queen Street and Valley Malls.

Following the resignation of Campbell Newman in April 2011, and his subsequent replacement by Councillor Graham Quirk, Adrian was endorsed as Brisbane's Deputy Mayor.

Community Development

Adrian is actively involved in supporting and assisting a wide range of local community groups, including environment and bushcare groups, sporting groups, P&C Associations, church groups and charities, Neighbourhood Watch groups and seniors associations.

He is honoured to be the patron of the Brisbane Metropolitan Touch Association, based at the Whites Hill Reserve, and the Square Dancing Society of Queensland.

Adrian is also a Vice Patron for the Queensland Target Sports Inc, home of the Queensland Olympic Rifle sports shooting disciplines in Gumdale.

He is a member (life subscriber) and former State Councillor of The Australian National Flag Association of Queensland (Inc.), an organisation aimed at promoting the importance and significance of our chief national symbol, the Australian national flag.
