==Campaign== | |||
The election was dominated by the approval of the controversial [[Podgor Development]] in [[Camberwell]] in May. A local residents group, [[Camberwell-Hawthorn Planning Watch]], ran candidates in all four positions up for election and successfully ousted all councillors with their terms expiring who had voted in favour of the lease agreement. | |||
== | ==Aftermath== | ||
{{Main|Podgor_Development#Abandonment}} | |||
As a result of this election, a majority of councillors opposed the Podgor Development. This eventually resulted in the Council cancelling its deals and almost being driven to bankruptcy. | |||
