On November 12, the Greek Australian Jim Grivokostopoulos was elected mayor in a large municipality of Melbourne. At the same time, Mary Lalita was reelected as mayor of Whittlesea this week.
Moreover, Grivokostopoulos is the first Greek Mayor of Manningham which is a region with 115,000 residents. He has lived there for more than 15 years and would like to see this Council move forward as a united leadership team and continue to make Manningham a great place for all families, the elderly, community groups and local business.
He believes Council needs to look at the future growth of Manningham and ensure the transport needs of the growing community.
He is also involved with the Australian Hellenic Cultural Council, a community group that brings together a number of multicultural communities and celebrates our diverse cultures among the thousands of Greeks.
