The 2001 Victorian local elections were held on 17 March 2001 to elect the councils of 3 of the 78 local government areas in Victoria, Australia.[1]
Elections occurred in the City of Greater Geelong, Borough of Queenscliffe and Surf Coast Shire. Queenscliffe and Surf Coast remained entirely independent-held, while Greater Geelong ended up under no overall control.[1]
Until 2008, local elections in Victoria were conducted periodically, meaning 75 councils were not up for election in 2001.[2]
