Moira Council again back up to full complement after replacement for former mayor Libro Mustica is decided

The former deputy mayor replaces ex-mayor Libro Mustica who resigned from the council last month.

Last week she missed out on replacing another departing councillor John Beitzel when Scott Olsen won his seat in a countback.

Ms Buck was on the council from 2010 to 2020 when she lost her seat at an election.

She returns with Moira Council facing a Victorian Government-appointed commission of inquiry and a petition for Yarrawonga to break away and have its own municipality.

"That's been on the go for a long time but I don't have an opinion; I'll leave it to the people," Ms Buck said of a secession move.

"I haven't been approached and I think the petition is very much in its infancy."

Meanwhile, Danny Chamberlain was formally sworn in as a Wodonga councillor on Monday after last week winning a countback to replace John Watson, who resigned for health reasons.

His first council meeting will be next Monday.
