Municipal Association Of Victoria

The Municipal Association of Victoria is the peak representative and advocacy body for Victoria's 78 councils. The MAV was formed in 1879 and the Municipal Association Act 1907 anointed the MAV the official voice of local government in Victoria. Today, the MAV is a driving and influential force behind a strong and strategically positioned local government sector. Our role, broadly speaking is to represent and advocate the interests of local government, lobby for a 'fairer deal' for councils, raise the sector's profile, ensure its long-term security and provide policy advice, strategic advice, capacity building programs and insurance services to local government. The success of the MAV stems from its people and the Association has prided itself on building a quality team of staff and consultants to ensure that the needs of its members are met, and that the MAV is well positioned to fulfil its purpose.
