The advisory panel is supported by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC). The panel will consider:
- the appropriate number of councillors and wards for the council
- ward boundary locations
- ward names.
Public information sessions about the review will be held at 12 pm on Monday 17 July and 6 pm on Tuesday 18 July. Visit the VEC website and click the link to attend the live online event.
The panel will consider the requirements of the law to propose models for the council’s structure. This will be outlined in a preliminary report. You will be able to share your views on this report and which model would best serve your community. This is known as a response submission.
The preliminary report is released and response submissions will close at 5 pm on Wednesday 9 August.
At the end of the review, the panel will make a final recommendation to the Minister for Local Government. Any change to the electoral structure for the City following this review is expected to apply at the next Council elections.
