Northern Beaches Council Special Rate Variation Proposal

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, We ask the Legislative Assembly to call on the Government to: 1. Ensure that Northern Beaches Council is prevented from introducing a Special Rate Variation 2. Ensure that the Minister issues an Improvement Notice under the Local Government Act 3. Ensure the Minister introduces a mandatory salary scale in line with community expectations for CEOs and senior staff in order to prevent excessive salaries and waste 4. Ensure the Minister initiates changes to electoral legislation so that it falls in line with State and Federal legislation prohibiting registered political parties from misleading the public and using the word “Independent” in party names like the ‘Your Northern Beaches Independent Team’ registered political party 5. Ensure the Minister initiates stronger and more efficient monitoring procedures for the Council regarding the management of projects to prevent cost and timing blowouts and independent management of projects 6. Ensure the Minister adopts recommendations of the NSW Parliament’s “Ability of Local Governments to fund infrastructure and service" and amends the Act to restrict and have more specificity on services (with a greater emphasis on core services) 7. Ensure the Minister initiates reform so that Councils and the IPART have set consultation procedures, not perform any public consultation over a holiday period and MUST have regard to the outcome of community consultation results 8. Should the Council continue to fail to meet the community’s expectations, require the Minister for Local Government to cause the appointment of an Investigator under section 430 of the Local Government Act.
