A Melbourne City councillor who was sexually harassed by former lord mayor Robert Doyle has called for mandatory training in acceptable workplace behaviour and an independent body to look into any complaints.

The proposals, by Greens councillor Cathy Oke, have been backed by the state’s municipal association.

They came as one of the frontrunners to replace Mr Doyle declared they would ban booze in the mayor's office and publish a monthly list of who they met with and when, to stop a culture of secrecy at Town Hall.

Sexual harassment allegations made against Mr Doyle were found proven in a report provided to Melbourne City Council by independent investigators. Parts of the report were released on Tuesday.
