The Victorian constitution recognizes local goverments:
The Victorian constitution is NOT the Australian constitution and from what I understand, the Victorian version was never updated and reviewed properly when it was required many years ago.
I am not a lawyer either but I doubt whether councillors voted in by business representives can be considered "democratically elected".
I wouldn't trust anything the Victorian constitution states. Now that the legal rulings [1 and 2] have overturned both the car crushing scam of the SA government and the bike gang legislation of NSW as unconstitutional ... it's just a matter of time before the Victorian false laws are called out properly.
