13.01.2022 Residents are invited to share their views on the number of Elected Members that should serve on Council, and how many there should be in each ward. Marion Council, which currently has a Mayor and 12 Councillors representing six Wards, is required to review its structure every eight years Council has released a Representation Review Paper identifying a number of possible Ward structures.... Under the potential changes, the number of Wards could be reduced to between three and five resulting in as few as eight Elected Members. One of the options is to retain the existing structure. The Representation Review is a legislative process which seeks to determine residents views on the number of elected members required to provide fair and adequate representation to the community. Any new structure will be implemented at the local government elections in November 2022. Find out more and provide feedback by 14 September at www.makingmarion.com.au/representation-review-2020
