Victorian Local Government Minister Melissa Horne will appoint municipal monitors to Glenelg Shire Council for a three month period.
Minister Horne said the decision followed a request from the shire’s mayor Cr Scott Martin over concerns with culture in the council organisation.
Three councillors have resigned in recent months, and the CEO Paul Phelan has announced his resignation.
Two monitors, yet to be named, will be charged with identifying what is needed to support the council for improved governance and to guide the recruitment of a new chief executive officer.
Glenelg Shire is the 9th council this term to be the subject of some form of government intervention.
