Cr Jieh-Yung Lo - Mt Waverley Ward
DEPUTY MAYOR
Jieh-Yung, graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2006 where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Asian Studies.
Since 2006, he has worked in policy and project roles at the Ethnic Communities' Council of Victoria (ECCV), the Essendon Football Club and National Disability Services (NDS) where he gained experience working on key issues such as multiculturalism, housing, sport, environment, transport, disability, employment, education, and community development.
