■ Publicly-elected Councillors have returned to the City of Whittlesea. Administrators have left, although Peita Duncan remains, as a Municipal Monitor appointed by the State Government. Cr Aidan McLindon was elected as Mayor by Councillors last week. Cr Daniela Zinni will be Deputy Mayor for the next 12 months. Cr McLindon, who was elected to the Kirrip Ward, said he was looking forward to working collaboratively with Council to deliver for the community. “Tonight marks the start of a new era. We have a group of Councillors on board who have been chosen by their communities and who are all keen to roll up their sleeves and get on with the job at hand. “As a collective, we are now looking forward to doing the basics brilliantly,” he said. “We want to focus on delivering the services our community needs as efficiently as we can. It is also our duty to make sure we are looking after the most vulnerable people in our community including those without food or shelter.”
