TRAINING FOR NEW COUNCILLORS
■ Local Councils will undergo general elections later this year, with resources now available to help voters and potential candidates participate in the election process. Aspiring councillors are encouraged to attend an in-person information session on Wednesday, May29 , at Bunjil Place, 2 Patrick Northeast Drive in Narre Warren, or one of the targeted sessions, including women, youth and First Nations candidates, taking place in May and June. Frankston City Council CEO Phil Cantillon said: “Frankston City Council has a proud history of community representation. This representation relies on community leaders to put their hand up and become a candidate. “I encourage anyone thinking about standing to come along or log in to the session and utilise the resources of the MAV Stand for Council campaign.” Frankston City Council is one of several Victorian local councils to have undergone an electoral structure review in 2024 as mandated by the Local Government Act. The number of councillors in Frankston (nine in total) remains the same. The names for the nine wards in this new electoral structure are Ballam, Centenary Park, Derinya, Elisabeth Murdoch, Kananook, Lyrebird, Pines, Wilton and Yamala.
