The VEC is seeking public feedback on a proposed boundary review for South Gippsland Shire. The VEC is requesting public feedback as they review the internal boundaries (wards) of the South Gippsland Shrie Council. A review occurs when the number of voters per councillor is forecast to be outside the legislated +/- 10% tolerance in one or more wards at the next council election. This is to ensure that each voter is represented equally.
