Step up and stand for Alpine Shire Council
Alpine Shire 16 May 2024

Now is the time to put your hand up to take on one of the most important leadership opportunities the region that enables you to make a difference. 

Councils are the closest level of government to community. To represent their communities successfully, they need great quality candidates to put their hand up for election. 

If you have a passion for your local community, the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) is calling all community leaders and potential candidates to get inspired through the Stand for Council campaign. 

To support potential candidates, the MAV is partnering with councils across the state to host regional-based information sessions. The sessions aim to provide potential candidates with both information and inspiration. 

Alpine Shire Council Chief Executive Officer, Will Jeremy, said the MAV Stand for Council initiative aims to motivate and assist a wide array of candidates from diverse backgrounds within the local community. 

"For anyone considering running for council, the information sessions and resources are there to inspire and guide you. They provide valuable insights into the responsibilities of a councillor, the wide array of issues you'll explore, and the rewarding commitment you'll be making," he said. 

"Whether you've decided to run or are just exploring the possibility, I encourage you to attend a session, either in person or online, to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a councillor and how you can make a difference." 

A session will be held at the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre on Thursday 13 June from 6.30pm. 

Registrations for the event can be made here: https://shorturl.at/nru89  

The MAV will also be providing a Citizen to Councillor Guide 2024 – a guide for prospective candidates to further understand the roles and responsibilities of a councillor and the importance of this elected position.
