Pittwater Mayor Jacqui Townsend has today urged residents to say ‘YES to the facts’ in the upcoming referendum, in an effort to ensure that Federal funding continues to be available for important local projects. “Pittwater Council stands to lose a considerable amount of Federal funding if the upcoming referendum regarding constitutional recognition for local government doesn’t succeed, “said Mayor For some time many really important local council projects, in particular the upgrade of many of our local roads have been possible due to direct Federal funding. At present, direct Federal funding of local projects is in doubt.” she said. “A YES vote will preserve the sort of arrangements that, for more than 10 years, have funded important local projects. Voting YES simply ensures existing practice can continue and that’s a good thing for our community.” Over the past few years Council has received Federal funding for the following local projects:
“Our important local projects need Federal funding and voting YES is the only way to secure this. There is no other source to replace this funding.” Around the country direct Federal funding has delivered safer roads, better playgrounds and parks, and upgraded libraries and other important local amenities – in short, safer and improved local environments for our communities. But two recent High Court decisions mean from now on this funding is under threat. Which is why the facts say YES on election day.
