Melb councillor eligibility investigated

The City of Melbourne's first indigenous councillor may have been ineligible to run due to an incorrect address on her nomination.

The Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate is reviewing a candidate's eligibility for the City of Melbourne, chief municipal inspector David Wolf said in a statement.

"The inspectorate cannot make any further comment on the matter while inquiries are underway but in consideration of the implications, the inquiries are a priority," he said.

News Corp reports the councillor-elect and An Indigenous Voice candidate Brooke Wandin is the councillor being investigated.

Ms Wandin has been contacted for comment.
