The Runcorn Ward is a Brisbane City Council ward covering Kuraby, Runcorn, Sunnybank and Sunnybank Hills.[2]
The 2007 Electoral Commission Redistribution split the former Runcorn Ward into Karawatha Ward and MacGregor Ward. Gail Macpherson of Labor (who had previously been the representative for Runcorn) ran for Karawatha at the 2008 election and was re-elected. MacPherson retired in 2012 and the election held that year saw Kim Marx elected with a 17.8% swing.[1]
