On a new Local Government News Roundup today… Council name changes progressing in Victoria and Queensland; a new CEO appointed to the Latrobe Valley Authority; a Council decides to publish details of its CEO’s salary package; a Tasmanian council loses 3 councillors in two weeks, including its mayor; and more NSW council election results becoming clear.
