Statement From Minister For Local Government 1 May
I have received the final report from the municipal monitors appointed to Moonee Valley City Council.
I acknowledge the extensive work completed by the monitors, Ms Prue Digby and Mr Phillip Carruthers, between January 2024 and February 2025.
The report highlights the council’s improvements while the monitors have been in place, including strengthened administration and governance functions, and an increased positive working culture at the council.
The report made recommendations to the council to support the work already underway in strengthening its governance practices.
The monitors noted that the council has shown its strong commitment to implementing the recommendations and are satisfied that further intervention will not be required.
I thank Ms Digby and Mr Carruthers for contributing their expertise and time to these important roles.
