A Council encounter of the marsupial kind

A new CEO for Alpine Shire, and more councillors stepping aside for a run at State Parliament..

Those developments lead this edition of the Local Government News Roundup.

Also today: two councils pushing for a new peri-regional status to unlock more funding opportunities; a controversial sale proposal to be decided by Hepburn Shire this week; a council sacked, a former CEO loses an unfair dismissal appeal and is ordered to pay costs; a councillor resigns over inappropriate use of social media; and a Council encounter of the marsupial kind!
