What Wodonga Wire did to the published figures
- Calculation
- median of every council in the cohort, other than Wodonga, that reported this indicator for this year, is marked applicable and has a numeric result
- Applied to
- 9 published figures
Corrected 22 August 2026. This median previously included Wodonga's own value, which drew it toward Wodonga: twelve of the fourteen indicators the council-services page publishes move when Wodonga is removed. The including-Wodonga figure is retained beside this one so an archived page can be reconciled with the current one. A blank or non-applicable result is excluded, never read as zero.
The councils this compares
9 councils, each of which reported this indicator for 2024-25:
- Ballarat City
- Greater Bendigo City
- Greater Geelong City
- Greater Shepparton
- Horsham Rural City
- Latrobe City
- Mildura Rural City
- Wangaratta Rural City
- Warrnambool City
What this figure does not establish
- A median is not a target and not a standard. The framework sets no benchmark, and the publisher asks that this data not be used to build league tables of councils.

This page exists so the figure on Wodonga in Numbers can be checked without taking Wodonga Wire's word for it. Where the publisher's own page has moved or been withdrawn, the preserved copy above is what Wodonga Wire read, with the hash it had when it was read — it is not the publisher's current page and is not presented as one.
