Our work

The Local Government Inspectorate is the dedicated integrity agency for Victoria councils.

Our core work is to investigate offences and breaches under the Local Government Act, including electoral offences. We can issue warnings or prosecute for breaches and offences. However, we are not able to investigate planning matters.

We also conduct governance examinations at councils and recommend improvements to policies and procedures.
