If you have and questions please feel free to ask

  • Why are you so wasteful of others money

    Rex Holden asked about 2 years ago

    The Elected Members of Council endeavor to make decisions in the interests of the residents of the whole district.  These decisions are robustly discussed and debated to ensure that different perspectives that reflect the community are considered to inform the final decisions.  These discussions and debates are based upon a range of information that ensured it is an informed decision based upon this relevant and current data.  

  • Our fresh water reticulation and waste water aren't up to it. Some of the infrastructure is past is use by date. No where do I see a planned logical approach to upgrading this infrastructure. I'm afraid fancy water fronts, flash buildings don't count, if you don't have water and can't get the grey and black water away, even when it's raining, without going polluting our environment.
