About Cr Alex Givney
Councillor Alex Givney
I’m Alex Givney, your local Councillor for the Wynnum Manly Ward, elected in March 2024 as part of Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner’s team.
The Bayside has been home for many years, and it’s where my husband Ben and I are raising our two children, Charlie and Maggie, along with our dog Tillie. Like many local families, we’re invested in making sure this community continues to thrive, not just now, but for the next generation.
Before Council, I worked as a teacher and in stakeholder engagement, fundraising and community partnerships. My first jobs were in hospitality, retail and as a lifeguard, and that early experience shaped my approach today. I believe in working hard, staying grounded and getting involved. Whether it’s volunteering at local schools, supporting community groups or helping at events, I’ve always believed in showing up and pitching in.
Outside of work, life is busy and full. You’ll often find me baking, entertaining, renovating our Queenslander or out on the bay with the family. I love the lifestyle we have here, from early morning walks along the water to weekends spent supporting local businesses and community events.
As your Councillor, my focus is simple. Listen, work hard and deliver practical outcomes that make a real difference. I care deeply about this community and the people in it, and I’m committed to helping keep the Bayside a connected, welcoming and vibrant place to live.
