Why Run?
If you have a Council dominated by the 2 major parties, we’re not sure that the Community is really heard.
Let’s mix it up with Independents, who’s only interest is Community.
No barrow to push, no personal agenda’s pursued.
Do you know how often our current Councillors have to abstain from discussions due to conflicts of interest? Surely it would be better to have people who aren’t absent due to personal conflicts.
You also may not be aware but during the next term a new Local Environment Plan (LEP) will be pursued. This is key to how The Shire looks and feels.
At the stroke of a pen (or a compass based on how consultants like to draw circles) you could become very happy or very sad.
Community consultations are usually online – how about Ward specific community engagements, with face to face discussions (Covid-19 safe!), opening the accessibility to all?
