7th November 2021 (#71)

On the Roundup today… a new member of State Parliament creates a Councillor vacancy at Yarra Ranges; the South Gippsland Shire monitor has been appointed; mayoral election results from Victoria - and one from New South Wales; a Sydney council loses its light rail service; and a councillor calls out abuse against elected reps and council staff.

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.
