MELBOURNE Lord Mayor Robert Doyle has won a second term with about 40 per cent of the primary vote after Victorians went to the polling booths around the state.
Mr Doyle, a former leader of the Victorian Liberal Party, said his priorities would be safety in the CBD, liveability and planning for growth.
"I want to make sure that over the next four years the city is better positioned in each of those areas," he told ABC TV.
Mr Doyle had some high-profile opponents to contend with including Sothebys CEO Gary Singer, who won just over 15 per cent of primary votes, and the ticket run by pollster Gary Morgan and former Foster's chief John Elliott, which garnered just over 11 per cent.
After distribution of preferences, Mr Doyle won with 52.42 per cent, followed by the Greens, led by Alison Parkes, with just over 25.07 per cent.
The Doyle team is expected to control at least five of the 11 seats on council.
The Greens' Victorian leader Greg Barber hailed the council elections as the best result ever achieved by the party, having fielded about 100 candidates with nine councillors confirmed as victors and another eight likely winners as counting continued into Sunday night.
