Local Government Minister Melissa Horne has extended the appointment of Janet Dore and Penelope Holloway as municipal monitors at Brimbank City Council until June to help improve governance practices.
It follows receipt of their interim report noting a need for the newly elected councillors to develop a stronger understanding of good governance and their statutory roles to prevent negative behaviours and conflict.
Ms Dore and Ms Holloway were initially appointed in February until the end of this year.
Brimbank is one of ten councils with municipal monitors in place, with some of those due to conclude at the end of this month or next.
