Two municipal monitors will be appointed to Kingston City Council, commencing Monday 25th August through the end of this year.
Local Government Minister Nick Staikos has announced that John Tanner will be one of the monitors, with the second to be appointed at a later date.
Mr Tanner is currently a monitor at Hobsons Bay City Council, and is the former Chairman of the panel of Administrators at Moira Shire Council.
Mr Staikos said the monitors would support good governance at the council for the rest of the year.
Kingston Mayor Georgina Oxley and CEO Peter Bean say they are committed to working with the monitors.
Cr Oxley said the council looks forward to better understanding the government’s concerns, and would share with the monitors their “strong processes, governance oversight and transparent decision-making.”
