The Minister for Local Government has announced a new electoral structure for Hepburn Shire.
The changes will move our Shire from 5 wards with 7 Councillors, to no wards with 7 Councillors. Voters will be able to vote for any candidate, regardless of where they or the candidate live in the municipality.
The new structure will take effect from the next local government election in October 2024.
