The weekly Governance Update is back for 2022, with Chris Eddy and Stephen Cooper discussing local government news and events of the past few weeks, including: a delayed determination on councillor allowances; the Victorian rate cap for next financial year announced; a councillor resignation and countback for Alpine Shire; the cultural review a hot topic of discussion; cricket gets a mention (go figure); the hat of the week and so much more!
