It&#8217;s not good governance, and I don&#8217;t believe you get the best outcome for communities when this occurs,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been rushed and the opportunity to present a policy that&#8217;s been well researched, matches peak body recommendations, and is consistent with the Local Government Act 2020 has been missed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cr Grigau, who stood as a Liberal candidate in the Bellarine electorate in the 2022 state election, said releasing the draft policy for public consultation would ensure it is &#8220;considered transparently and with community input before any final decision is made&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have to get ahead of the ball with these issues,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While this is primarily an internal governance matter, I believe inviting the community input is a sensible and cautious approach,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It strengthens public confidence and ensures council is seen to be acting openly and responsibly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The draft policy will return before the council later this month.<\/p>\n<p>To make a submission before public consultation ends on February 18, head to <a href=\"http:\/\/queenscliffe.vic.gov.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">queenscliffe.vic.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A CLOSELY contested council vote has cleared the way for public consultation on a proposed policy governing how Borough of Queenscliffe councillors manage election campaigns while in office.
