COUNCIL WATCH is a not-for-profit team

that relies on volunteers.

Our volunteers are ordinary people just like you. 

​

We run local branches in most Vic Municipalities, we need people just like you to tell the stories that will keep your council accountable.

​

We believe communities can make a difference and

force councils to be accountable.

 

  • We use social media in local communities to fill the void of local newspapers.

  • We collectively source data and publish it to hold Councils accountable.

  • We extensively work with the Media to address issues.

  • We lobby state lawmakers and Councillors to improve local government​.

​

More than ever, amidst a cost-of-living crisis - we need value and efficiency from our councils. But they DON'T want to hear that!
