Moorabool Shire Council

Subdivision Review
The Victorian Electoral Commission is carrying out a subdivision review of Moorabool
Shire Council and wants your input.
The review looks at adjustments to ward boundaries to ensure each voter is
equitably represented in the upcoming local council elections.
Ward boundaries are adjusted so that the number of voters represented by each
councillor is within 10% of the local council average.
The review only considers the location of ward boundaries. It will not consider the
number of councillors or wards.
The VEC will release a preliminary report on Wednesday 26 February with proposed
changes to the boundaries of all wards within Moorabool Shire Council.
Proposed ward boundaries are shown in the map below.

The process was officially adopted by councillors at the February 5 council meeting after

for batting but Danza dug in and was able to adapt to the
conditions like a champion.”
Captain Bradley Barnes (41 off 99) was the only other Lions
batsman to reach double figures on the turning deck. The
popular cult figure joined Hyatt for a match winning 82 run
partnership for the sixth wicket after the Lions looked in
trouble at 5/49. Ryan Ali (1), Hamish Jamieson (5) and Harry
