Welcome to the 8th March edition of TGU The Governance Update with the ‘A Team’ of Julie Reid and Tony Raunic, joined this week again by Steve Cooper. TGU is proudly presented by the Victorian Local Governance Association.
On this International Women’s Day the Panel discussed the VLGA Event on 5 March to release the 2023 findings of the ARC Linkage Grant Research Project, ‘Women in Local Government:Understanding Their Political Trajectories’ with researchers Professors Leah Ruppaner and Andrea Carson.
The recent Arbiter report that resulted in suspension of Cr Susan Bissenger at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council was also unpacked.
The Panel noted some terrific work on affordable housing at Yarriambiack Shire council, noted the reappointment of Peter Stephenson as Administrator at Strathbogie Shire Council; noted the extraordinary case of the Queensland councillor seeking re-election while fighting a murder charge and pointed to a customer service initiative at Melbourne City Council.
Two upcoming events were also noted, Fast Track 2024: Leading Under Pressure (15 March) and the VLGA & LGiU Global Executive Panel - Increasing Gender Equity in Local Government (21 March). Registration links below.
