Release of the Rainbow Resource for Victorian Councils
The VLGA recently secured funding through the Department of Premier and Cabinet to develop an updated Rainbow Resource for Victorian Councils.
The Local Government Bill (2019) has formally passed the Victorian Assembly (lower house) on 17 March 2020 formally ratifying amendments made in the upper house. The Bill is expected to receive its Royal Assent on 24 March where it will then become law.
Given the exceptional circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the VLGA is taking measures to ensure the safety of our members and staff.
