Connect 2 Campbelltown Newsletter - Next Steps in Representation Review ~ Committee Opportunity

Dear Community Member

Next Steps in the Representation Review

Earlier this year we asked the community for feedback on a proposal as part of the Electoral Representation Review that would reduce the number of wards in the Council area from five to four. Under this arrangement two wards would have been represented by two councillors, while the other two would each be represented by three councillors.

Council reviewed the Community Engagement Outcomes Report on this proposal at its meeting on Tuesday, 18 March. As the community response was mixed, with some in favour and others against the proposal, Council decided to re-visit the potential ward structure. We will be seeking feedback on a further option in a few weeks (note: under legislation Council is only able to present one option to the community at a time). Keep an eye out for more information on Connect 2 Campbelltown!
