Mayoralty
As mayor, Panopoulos is known for her involvement in having discontinued citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day. Following this decision, the council was targeted by racist extremists. She was also involved in renaming the Merri-Bek council from its previous name, the city of Moreland.

In May 2023, her council's resolutions were overruled by Victoria's planning minister in order to green-light apartment development.
