Albany council to undergo mediation
Posted
The Albany City Council has entered mediation as part of a better practice review imposed by the Western Australian Government.
The Minister for Local Government, John Castrilli, requested the review after allegations of bullying amongst councillors and the shock dismissal of the city's chief executive.
Albany Mayor Milton Evans says councillors chose mediator Graham Castledine from a Government-approved panel.
Councillor Evans says he is looking forward to resolving issues within council.
"Coming to an agreed position and I just think the process has only just begun, so I'd be happy to see the end result of that and his recommendation," he said.
