The Miri City Council (Malay: Majlis Bandaraya Miri, abbreviated MBM) is the city council which administers the city of Miri in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. This council was established after the city was officially granted city status on 20 May 2005.

The council consists of the mayor plus twenty-eight councillors appointed to serve a one-year term by the Sarawak State Government. The purpose of this council is to upkeep infrastructure, public amenities, and facilities.

History

The establishment of the Council may be traced back to the early 1930s. Miri Municipal Board was established following the enactment of Municipal Order M-7 in 1933, during the period of Kingdom of Sarawak. Resident from the 4th Division of Sarawak became the chairman of the board. Municipal officer and several community leaders also became members of the board. The operation of the Board was interrupted during Japanese Occupation of Sarawak from 1941 to 1945.[2]

On 1 January 1956, Miri Municipal Board was reconstituted to become Miri Urban District Council, financially self-supporting and managing its own local affairs. The Council consisted of 17 nominated members.[2]

In December 1960, Council's general election was held for the first time in Miri. The elected Council members were consolidated under Local Authority (Miri District Council) Order 1960. The new Council started its operation on 9 January 1961. The new Council was able to extend its jurisdiction to Miri sub-district. There were 18 members in the Council. Advisers of the Council include Divisional Engineer, the Superintendent of Lands and Surveys, the Divisional Medical Officer, the Divisional Education Officer and the Superintendent of Police. After the second Council general election in mid-1963, the jurisdiction of the Council covers 337 square miles (872.8 km2) with a population of 24,049, based on the 1960 Census Report.[2]

MDC was restructured to Miri Municipal Council (MMC) in 1981 and new Councillors were sworn in on 6 November 1981. MMC had a Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and 24 Councillors. All of them were nominated members.[2]

Miri Municipal Council was upgraded to Miri City Council when Miri was granted city status on 20 May 2005.[3]

In August 2015, Bario sub-district was transferred from Marudi District Council to Miri City Council in view of better infrastructure and accessibility from Miri Airport when compared to Marudi. This addition gives the city an exclave of 4,245 square kilometres, bringing the total area under the city's jurisdiction up to over 5,000 square kilometres. [4]
