Cr Theo Zographos said he welcomed the move for Monash ratepayers.
“Most councils aren’t thinking the same way, we need to be influencing those councils to get further in touch with their communities as things might get worse before they are better in the next six months,” Cr Zographos said.
Ratepayers Victoria Dean Hurlston said he applauded the council for putting ratepayers first.
