News

On the Roundup today… the EPA’s first chief investigator appointed; Kingston Council heeds advice in changing its housing strategy; some mayoral election updates; sad news on the passing of a sitting South Australian councillor; and a new strategic alliance formed in regional Queensland.

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.
