Trouble archiving links on the article

Hello. I am finding myself repeatedly archiving links on this page. This usually happens when the archive doesn't recognize the archive to be good.

This could be because the link is either a redirect, or I am unknowingly archiving a dead link.Please check the following links to see if it's redirecting, or in anyway bad, and fix them, if possible.

• http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/free.nsf/0/76E601D6DB55E88ACA25722500049195/$File/12570_1994-95.pdf

In any event this will be the only notification in regards to these links, and I will discontinue my attempts to archive the page.

Cheers.—^{cyberbot II}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 12:18, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Edit request

We've noticed some old or outdated info on this page and were hoping someone could assist us updating that content please?

The main points of concern:

- Population stats seem to be from 2018, whereas more recent census data is available: https://www.abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/quickstats/2021/LGA27070

- A recent VEC review has changed the number of wards for the upcoming October 2024 election: https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/electoral-boundaries/local-councils/whittlesea-city-council#:~:text=Whittlesea%20City%20Council%20was%20dismissed,one%20ward%20with%203%20councillors

- Current list of Administrators is incorrect, with Chris Eddy replaced by Christian Zahra AM in 2023: https://ncreview.com.au/2023/04/11/city-of-whittlesea-appoints-new-administrator/ 220.101.107.162 (talk) 02:38, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

These seem like well sourced issues to be addressed in the article. I'll try to get write wording for the article and put them in when I get a chance. A Tree In A Box (talk) 07:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
