Greater Shepparton City Council will host two more Candidate and Voter Information Sessions in the lead up to the 2024 Local Government elections on Saturday 26 October, following the recent success of the Mooroopna and Tatura sessions.
In Summary
The next session will be a Women Candidate Information Session on Thursday 25 July 2024 from 12.30pm at the Shepparton Art Museum, which encourages attendance from women considering standing for Council. The presentation will provide a general overview of the role of a Councillor, in addition to exploring perceived barriers and the flexibility available to support all Councillors. While women are encouraged to attend, everyone is welcome.
Attendees will hear from guest speaker, Member for Shepparton and former Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor and Councillor, Kim O’Keeffe MP. A light lunch will also be provided.
Council will also be hosting a Candidate and Voter Information Session on Monday 26 August 2024 from 5.30pm at the Council Boardroom in Shepparton. This session will give attendees great insight into what being a Councillor might look like, including time commitments, responsibilities and general requirements under the Local Government Act 2020. The session will also provide information to voters on the new ward structure for Greater Shepparton and what residents need to know ahead of the election.
Registrations for both Council-run sessions are encouraged, however walk-ins on the day are welcome.
In addition to these sessions, the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) will be hosting a Candidate Information Session in Shepparton on Thursday 5 September 2024 from 6.30pm at the VEC Election Office, located at the Shepparton Senior Citizens Centre.
