Council backflips - Response submission to be listed for Monday’s council meeting

Published by Alex Makin on Thursday 17th of April, 2008

This afternoon I received a telephone call advising that Maroondah’s response submission to the Victorian Electoral Commission’s representation review will now be listed on the agenda for Monday night’s council meeting.

It is encouraging that Maroondah has seen the need for this item to be listed in the open council chamber. This will ensure that the item will be debated and while I doubt that it will change the outcome, it will provide an opportunity to reinforce the fact that the community has requested substantial changes in the structure of wards and representation within Maroondah.

Response submission to the Victorian Electoral Commission close on the 22nd of April.
