The new Darebin council, post-2012 election, is promising a more open, consultative approach with the community through the adoption of a charter. The draft charter references ethical decision making, transparency, community engagement and equity and inclusion with an annual performance evaluation by the community. Council seeks feedback on how this might be measured. You can have your say on the draft charter: http://www.darebin.vic.gov.au/page/HomePage.aspx
We're still waiting on the Ombudsman's investigation report and the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate report.
