The Lord Mayor of Melbourne City has announced she is set to step down after six years in the role.
March 28, 2024 - 7:55AMSally Capp recalled key moments in the job as she confirmed her decision in a statement on Thursday.
“The City of Melbourne was in dire need of leadership when I was elected as Lord Mayor in 2018 – there were significant internal and external issues, including a culture of unacceptable councillor behaviour and delays on major projects, such as the renewal of the Queen Victoria Market. The Lord Mayor, who was elected in 2018, took on the role full-time and said she expects anyone running for the role do the same."As you know, I like to work at full pace, full-time – and I believe that anyone contesting the election must be all-in for a full term."
