History edit
Holland Park was the ward of Brisbane's only ever known Indigenous councillor, Robbie Williams. Williams, a Yugambeh man and Labor councillor, filled the vacancy caused by Kerry Rea's resignation in October 2007.[4] In December that year, he died of a heart attack. The seat remained vacant until the election in March 2008.[5]
