Call for Public Enquiry into Lane Cove Council

This is a call for full disclosure in the Lane Cove council operational plan and ask that the council respond to resident requests to re-instate information disclosed in earlier plans. The operational plan relates to Public funds and Public assets. Full disclose is essential.

20 Lane Cove residents called for the council to be transparent once again, and re-instate information that was on its 2019 Long Term Financial Plan but subsequently removed; and use the RBA CPI rate forecast for years 1 and 2.

The council has ignored all requests on irrational basis.

We ask that councillors do not adopt the plan without full transparency and completeness of the plan.

Dear Mayor Merri Southwood, Councillors Bridget Kennedy, Kathy Bryla, Rochelle Flood, Helena Greenwell, General Manager Louise Kerr, and members of ARIC,

I refer to the community consultation results for the Draft Delivery Program and Operational plan, item no. 6 on the Agenda for next Council Meeting. 20 residents have asked that the performance factors shown on the 2019 Long Term Financial plan to be re-instated, and the council response is an alarming, do nothing! I strongly object to this.

The operational plan relates to Public funds and Public assets. I ask for full disclosure.

In the current environment where you have already signalled a Special Variation, the roads and parks have been neglected to a health rating of 50%, a plan to accrue an asset renewal deficit of $40M, and many of the councillors were elected on a promise to increase the transparency of the council; I ask that you please listen to the public request, and that you do NOT adopt the Long Term Financial Plan and Asset Management plan until the council re-instates these changes.

Even if 10 of the 15 measures are red due to missing the targets, which is likely; the public must know the full picture, and so should you.

The Long Term Financial plan should be used to model future investments etc, and not to mislead or conceal information from the public. That would be a breach of public trust.

We have not asked for any new information. Only that previously shown information is re-instated and not concealed.

We seek a true and complete picture of the forward plan with all performance indicators and other elements mentioned in the submission, re-instated. This will go a long way towards rebuilding public trust in council forward planning.
