New episode

On the Roundup today… the first Council to mandate COVID 19 vaccinations for its entire staff; a city council attracts criticism over a plan to charge traders for using parking spaces for outdoor dining; major road construction contracts awarded for Melbourne’s southeast; and the launch of a new national plan for closing the gap.

Just some of what’s ahead on   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.
