We’re implementing the structure changes from Monday 20 October. We can’t make everything work perfectly all at once. Some changes are dependent on others and there’s a sequence. Here’s information about how it roll out this week.
Cookies, Lanyards, Badges and Signature Blocks
One Greater Dandenong cookies and lanyards have been distributed. These little tokens mark the start of our next chapter. The Strategic Communications team has more lanyards if you need them.
You’ll have noticed we’ve soft-launched our new logo. A concerted roll-out and roadshow is coming soon. Now is a good time to update your signature block (especially if your team has changed) according to one consistent style across Council.
Consider ordering name badges with the new logo. Badges are a mark of transparency and pride in our work, and also help new colleagues get to know us. The supplier has our new logo.

UConnect will be temporarily locked Monday 20 – Sunday 26 October. The system will be available again from Monday 27 October, and retrospective entries can be submitted from this date.

Got more questions?
If you have any questions about your team, supervision or issues specific to your area, your Manager or Executive Director will be happy to clarify them.
We have lots of FAQs below.
However, our systems mean everything can’t be done at the same time. Some steps are dependent on others, so some changes will take several days. Please be patient.
Things not working?
If you have concerns or things aren’t working as expected, check the FAQs below. Otherwise, email onegreaterdandenongreview@cgd.vic.gov.au. We are keeping a log, creating tickets and triaging issues. We will get back to you.
