New episode

On the Roundup today… regional Victorian councils at the centre of new vaccinated economy trials; a defamation case against a former mayor settles out of court; the much anticipated Central Coast public inquiry suspended amid technical issues; and the cost of deferring NSW council elections.

Just some of what’s ahead on the midweek update from the Roundup, which is brought to you by the Victorian Local Governance Association, an independent governance organisation supporting councils and councillors to achieve the highest standards of governance;

And by Hunt & Hunt Lawyers – providing advice to help Councils achieve the best for their communities.
