The electoral structure of Horsham Rural City Council is being reviewed.
An electoral representation advisory panel, supported by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is considering:
- 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 12noon Monday 26 June and 6pm on Tuesday 27 June. 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 in a preliminary report. The public will be able to share views on this report and which model would best serve the municipality. This is known as a response submission.
The preliminary report is released and response submissions for the HRCC review open on Wednesday 28 June and close at 5pm on Wednesday 19 July.
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 Horsham Rural City Council following this review is expected to apply at the next local council elections.
