Cr Marnie Doyle

Councillor Marnie Doyle was born and raised in Ipswich and now resides in Sadliers Crossing. She is a St Mary’s old girl and holds a Bachelor of Laws and Master of Laws.

Cr Doyle is passionate about advocating for residents and seeking better outcomes for all.

In 2022, her advocacy led council to develop a comprehensive Domestic and Family Violence Strategy which catalysed council’s commitment to be at the forefront of collaborative prevention of this violence in our community.

From 2020-2024, Cr Doyle chaired council’s Ipswich Central Redevelopment Committee overseeing the most significant Ipswich CBD redevelopment in a generation.

Cr Doyle has a lifelong passion for Ipswich’s famed architecture and its many places of historic and cultural significance.

In January 2022, she was the first Ipswich City Councillor appointed as a member of the Queensland Heritage Council, the independent statutory body established by the Queensland Parliament principally to decide which places are entered in the Queensland Heritage Register. Cr Doyle served on the Queensland Heritage Council until her three year term ended in December 2024.
