2008 Victorian local elections

The 2008 Victorian local elections were held on 29 November 2008 to elect the councils of the 79 local government areas in Victoria, Australia.^[1]

As a result of changes to the Local Government Act 1989, local elections in Victoria were no longer conducted periodically, and all 79 LGAs voted at the same time.^[2]

The elections saw the first election victories for The Greens in Casey, Darebin, Glen Eira, Manningham, Queenscliffe and Surf Coast.^[3]

Labor Party-endorsed candidates ran in Maribyrnong, while former Liberal leader Robert Doyle was elected Lord Mayor of Melbourne on the Activate Melbourne ticket.^[4]^[5]

Aftermath

Three Greens councillors were elected mayor by a vote of other councillors following the elections: Amanda Stone (Yarra), Philip Schier (Mount Alexander) and Helen Harris (Whitehorse).^[3]

In May 2010, three Labor councillors in Moreland − Stella Kariofyllidis, Kathleen Matthews-Ward and Alice Pryor − were suspended from the party after not voting for Labor's Enver Erdogan to become mayor. Kariofyllidis was suspended for three years, while the others were suspended for two years.^[6]
