Could You Stand For Council In This Election?

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.
