Electoral Representation Review - Latrobe City

An electoral representation review is now taking place in Latrobe City. The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is conducting the review and will look at:

what is an appropriate number of councillors for the municipality;
whether the municipality should have wards or be unsubdivided; and
if the municipality is to have wards, how many wards there should be, the number of councillors per ward and the ward boundaries.

Everyone in the municipality is invited to contribute to the review through written submissions. Information in submissions can help by providing local knowledge and perspectives. The VEC will consider the ideas in submissions and will also look at demographics, the municipality's growth potential and the situation in similar municipalities.

To find out more about the electoral representation review, follow these links to the VEC's website:
