Are you thinking of running for council?
WITH council elections to be held in October, now is the time to have a role in shaping the future of the local area.
Moyne Shire Council will be conducting information sessions on becoming a councillor to help prospective candidates further understand the roles and responsibilities of a councillor.
Mayor Ian Smith said a strong, healthy and inclusive democracy is best served by a broad range of skills, experience, views and innovation.
“We’re seeking a diverse range of candidates from across the community,” he said.
“These sessions will help potential candidates understand the responsibilities, the wide range of issues and the time involved in being a councillor.
“The sessions will include an introduction to Moyne Shire, the election process, councillors’ responsibilities and expectations, support for candidates and a QandA panel.”
“I encourage anyone considering standing in the election later this year to come along so they can make an informed decision.”
