On the Roundup today… the Victorian Government announces an injection of funding for councils and businesses for covid-safe outdoor hospitality; Yarra Council’s parklet fee plan revisited; the results are in from Western Australian local government elections; nominations about to open for NSW elections; and a council’s finances to be subject to independent review.

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.
