Local Govt electoral review -

Over the past four months an electoral review of Glen Eira has taken place. These reviews are undertaken through-out Victoria on a rotating regular basis.

An information night was held in February with submisssions subsequently invited. Several electoral models/variations were proposed that revolved primarily around the number of councillors in total and per ward, the ward boundaries and the naming of the wards.

The final report not unsurprisingly supports the present arrangements with some minor changes in the Camden/Rosstown boundary. Since the last review which introduced the present system little has changed. All the reasoning behind changing the then Mackie and Jasper wards to the now Tucker and Rosstown ones and aligning the boundaries with like suburbs I feel is still very relevent and welcome this final report which can be viewed in the links section - bottom right.
