If you are planning to nominate as a candidate at the next local government elections, be aware that eligibility requirements have changed. Under the Local Government Act 2020 you will not be able to nominate as a candidate unless you have completed compulsory training.
The Victorian Government provides this compulsory training for all Victorians who wish to nominate as a candidate in any council elections.
The training will help you understand the role and responsibilities of being a councillor.
