The Victorian Government has extended the appointment of municipal monitors at Darebin City Council for a further six months to continue supporting the council to improve its governance practices.
June Anstee and Ross Millard were initially appointed for an eight-month period, from 29 April 2024 to 31 December 2024. Their appointment has now been extended until 30 June 2025.
The interim report notes that while the Darebin council has made progress in improving its governance structures, work is still required to support the council.Â
In response to this advice, Victoria’s Local Government Minister has extended the appointment of both monitors.
The monitors will work with new and returning councillors to continue to support positive working relationships and guide the new Council through the CEO recruitment process.
The terms of reference for the Darebin City Council monitors are available at localgovernment.vic.gov.au.
