Final chance
to have your say on council
mergers
|
Pittwater Council is
urging all residents affected by the NSW Government’s proposed merger
of Pittwater and the northern suburbs of Warringah to review the
Government’s plans and have their say, either by speaking at the public
hearing or making a submission.
The NSW Government has announced that an expanded Council for Pittwater
servicing the northern suburbs of Warringah would receive $20 million
to cover the costs of merging and community infrastructure projects.
General Manager Mark Ferguson encourages residents to visit the Council
Boundary Review website and review the merger proposal and accompanying
maps, and then voice their opinion to the NSW Government.
“This is the final step in the NSW Government’s merger process and the
last chance for affected residents to formally express their views to
the State Government,” Mr Ferguson said.
“Pittwater Council urges all affected residents to take the time to
consider the proposal and financial benefits and identify the issues
that are most important to them and speak out,” he added.
The Office of Local Government will hold two public inquiry meetings on
Tuesday 2 February from 1-5pm and 7-10pm at Mona Vale Golf Club.
Those wishing to address the public hearing must register to speak by
12 noon on 29 January 2016 by contacting 1300 813 020 or visiting www.councilboundaryreview.nsw.gov.au/proposals/pittwater-and-warringah-councils/#meetings
You can also make a submission online or via post before the Sunday 28
February 2016, 5pm deadline:

C/- Council Boundary
Review Submissions , GPO Box 5341, Sydney NSW 2001
An independent delegate has been appointed by the Minister for Local
Government to review the Pittwater and North Warringah merger proposal.
“The delegate assigned will examine submissions, hold the public
inquiry and report those outcomes to the Minister for Local Government
and Boundaries Commission.
“It is certainly valuable for residents to express their views as the
minister will consider all submissions when forming his final
recommendation,” Mr Ferguson added.
The NSW Government has indicated that all new councils will be
proclaimed by mid-2016. It also announced that Local Government
elections will be delayed until March 2017.
