Lunch with Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner

SEEKING THE “SHALOM” OF THE CITY

Adrian Schrinner, Brisbane’s 17th Lord Mayor, leads with a deep love for the city and a heart for its people. Since 2019, he has championed projects that enhance liveability, from the Brisbane Metro and green bridges to revitalised parks and suburban infrastructure through his “Suburbs First Guarantee.” Raised in Brisbane’s southeast, Adrian values community, service, and family—principles he shares with his wife Nina while raising their four children in Carindale. Whether planning for long-term growth, improving everyday life, or supporting vulnerable residents, Adrian combines visionary leadership with compassion, integrity, and a genuine commitment to making Brisbane a better city for all.
