The final report from the municipal monitor to Sth Gippsland Shire Council has been released, and the council has received a highly positive report card.
Prue Digby was appointed in November 2021 to support the transition back to elected councillors, encourage good governance and help prevent a recurrence of the behaviours that led to the dismissal of the council in June 2019.
Ms Digby found there had been a genuine and strong investment in councillor, ceo and staff relationships, and significant effort towards rebuilding community trust in the council.
She said the council has demonstrated capability and determination to perform its role effectively, and made no recommendations to the minister about future governance of the shire.
