VLGA Connect Governance Update, 8th April 2022:
On the Governance Update with Chris Eddy and Stephen Cooper this week, we unpack the Latrobe Councillor Code of Conduct Panel process and outcomes; plus news from around the sector including a new LGV Executive Director appointment; a guest appearance from Moira Shire Mayor Cr Libro Mustica talking about cross border cooperation; an ex Victorian CEO heading to a Queensland council; a NSW mayor subject of an ICAC enquiry; and the shoe is on the other foot over a questionable art 'installation'.
