We’ve had a big win in the campaign to save our councils, but the Greens won’t give up until all communities have their councils back.
Whether it’s Pittwater or Leichhardt, Guyra or Tumbarumba, Gloucester or Marrickville, the Greens are committed to winding back all forced council amalgamations. There never has been any evidence, democratic mandate and or community support for any of the amalgamations forced through.
The campaign to restore local democracy will not end until every forced amalgamation is reversed.
What can you do?
We’re working with communities across the state to prepare de-amalgamation proposals that could force the government to hold public inquiries under provisions of the Local Government Act that the Premier wishes weren’t there.
