Proposed Governance Local Law 2019

UPDATE: We would like to thank the Moonee Valley community for being involved in the process of developing our new Governance Local Law.

Council adopted its new Governance Local Law at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 22 October 2019. You can find the Agenda and Minutes of the Council Meeting here. The new Governance Local Law also incorporates a revised Meeting Procedure Protocol. You can find a copy of our Governance Local Law 2019 on Council's website, within the 'Transparency' section of our Governance page. You can also download a copy from the menu at right.

In 2020, it is anticipated that the State Government will introduce a new Local Government Act. As a result, Council will be developing a range of new policies and processes to meet the requirements of the new Act. Please stay tuned for opportunities to contribute your thoughts as a member of our community.
