History

Phillip Ward was created in 1842 ahead of the first election on 1 November. It had 684 electors and included the head of Darling Harbour, Chippendale, Pyrmont and Ultimo.[3]

By 1900, the ward had 2,499 electors. The ward was a stronghold for the Labor Party, who had a clean sweep on multiple occasions.[3][4]

At the 1974 election, where Labor only won three seats across the entire council, Civic Reform won one of the Phillip Ward seats.[3]

Phillip Ward was abolished in 1987, along with all other Sydney City Council wards, in favour of an undivided council.
