Let the community decide

Join our Campaign to bring back our local councils!

Dear NSW Parliament,

We call on every NSW MP to commit to legislation that allows residents to vote in a binding de-merger plebiscite in any council that has been forced to merge by the Baird Government.

If a majority of residents support their council standing alone, then the law must provide for a council to be reinstated and a de-merger to occur at the soon as possible.

We make this demand because we believe that the community -- residents and local businesses-- not Mike Baird,  should decide the future of their local councils.

    I feel democraqcy has been attacked by the actions of the NSW government, many would like more efficient local government, but not in this dictatorial manner.

    And I most emphatically oppose the the moving of the PURPOSE BUILT Powerhouse Museum to Parramatta area. I support a western Sydney orientated museum for the west, BUT in no way does the history of The Powerhouse relate to the west; it relates to the city in which it currently resides!!!!

    Appalling behaviour from Baird’s Government. Absence of local council allows NSW Government to push through certain planning and developments in particular areas, unopposed by local councils.

    Local Government elections must be held by September 2016 at the latest or allow elected representatives to run council until the next elections are held. We do not need an administrator.
