Annual plan
Annual plan hearings have been placed on hold while we consider revising the plan and re-consulting with our community.
The official consultation period ended on Sunday with 285 written submissions and 72 requests to speak with councillors during hearings that were originally scheduled for 13-15 May.
These hearings, and later deliberations scheduled for 2-4 June, have now been placed on hold.
If we do consult again, people who have already submitted will be able to retain, revise or retract their submissions. People who have asked to be heard will be advised of new hearing dates when they have been finalised.
Singing Santa
Hi, I'm after one of the above which also moves whilst singing. Been to The Warehouse and a couple of $2 type shops but unable to find one. Does anyone else have any ideas on where I might find one please?
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
