The Greens will run candidates in the Penrith City Council elections for the first time since 2016.
A Greens ticket led by Shafaq Jaffery has been confirmed for North Ward.
Nicholas Best, Jacquie Wilson, David Maurice and Zeeshan Abdul all appear on the ticket.
All five are local residents living across a range of suburbs including Werrington Downs, Penrith, St Marys and Jordan Springs.
At this stage the Greens are not running in East or South Ward.
The Greens did not run any candidates at the 2021 election, but did contest the 2016 poll.
A successful Greens candidate would not be breaking new ground in Penrith. Michelle Tormey was elected at the 2012 election, representing North Ward.
