21.01.2022 Come to the meeting next Wednesday June 10 @ 7.30pm Petersham Town Hall to hear why Council amalgamations are not a good move for Marrickville.
20.01.2022 To Marrickville Councillors: The people of Marrickville appreciate the services and advocacy delivered by Our Council. We reject the state government’s "Fit for the Future" assessments, handed down by IPART, as an ad-hoc measure tailored to force an unnecessary merger. We instruct all councillors to stand up for the residents who voted for you. The councillors of Marrickville were democratically elected to serve their constituents and this is our voice. There is no evidence t...hat services improve when councils are amalgamated. In fact, specialised services that our community loves so much, such as Council run-childcare & community festivals, will be threatened. The cost of amalgamations will be many millions of dollars, rates are likely to increase (as happened in Victoria, Queensland and Auckland) and individual ratepayers will inevitably get less access to their local Councillors if mega-councils are created. The undersigned petitioners ask the Council to: * Listen to community calls to keep Marrickville Council local and independent. * Not cave into state government threats and put forward a voluntary amalgamation plan. * Tell Premier Mike Baird that our community calls on his government to institute the Parliamentary Inquiry recommendations and commit to no forced council amalgamations. * Continue to represent the needs of our local community and ensure that residents get the access to and advocacy from their council that they deserve. If you agree please sign the petition:
