Until 2008, local elections in Victoria were conducted periodically, meaning a number councils were not up for election in 1999.[2]
The Victorian Greens had their first electoral victory, with David Risstrom elected in the City of Melbourne having won 9% of the primary vote in a proportional representation system.[3]
