Councillors make decisions about local issues, services and plans for the future. They work with a range of important local issues and services, including:
- maternal and child health services
- sporting and recreation facilities
- libraries and community centres
- animal registrations
- rubbish and recycling
- planning and building regulations
- local roads and footpaths.
The community chooses councillors every 4 years through the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC), who manage candidate nominations and council elections.
Candidate nominations open on Monday 9 September and close at 12 pm on Tuesday 17 September.
You must complete online training before you nominate.
