On the Roundup today… the City of Melbourne’s homeless accommodation project gets a big boost; a funding increase for Victoria’s public libraries; the mayoral election decided by just two votes; a council reconsiders a staff vaccination payment scheme; and new voting rules announced for England’s mayoral elections.
Just some of the stories ahead on the Roundup, which is brought to you by the Victorian Local Governance Association, home of the VLGA Connect series of YouTube panel discussions and podcasts.
And by Hunt & Hunt Lawyers – providing advice to help Councils achieve the best for their communities.
