Today on the Local Government News Roundup… a name change on the cards for a Melbourne council; a requirement for equal prize money for professional sporting events in Bass Coast Shire; the final results from Victorian mayoral elections; the Queensland council losing its mayor and CEO in the same month; and the long serving mayor facing assault charges.
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.
