Council’s submission to IPART will be sent by February 16, and questionable programming by senior staff appears to have denied the public and councillors further input.
However, if some councillors are not happy with the final resolutions it would be courageous of them to submit their views to IPART on behalf of themselves and ratepayers after that date.
It would also be courageous of all councillors to authorise that a letter be sent to all residents detailing council’s final resolution, a copy of council’s submission to IPART, and advice to residents that they may make a submission to IPART on www.ipart.nsw.gov.au.
I believe that if council does this, it will become an unchallenged pillar of communication by the public and among local government bodies.
