The Point ESG News Site is pleased to present, in Association with the Demerge NSW Alliance and Central Coast Friends of Democracy, a state-wide Webinar called Restoring Local Democracy in NSW.

How to win back democracy on the Central Coast
How to put the Local back into Council

Our special guest speaker will be Dr Amanda Cohn MLC, who is about to table amendments to the NSW Local Government Act in the NSW Parliament.

If her local democracy bill succeeds, it will be much more straightforward for communities to demerge councils that have been forcibly amalgamated.

The line up of speakers also includes:

Brian Halstead, Demerge NSW Alliance

John Stamolis, Independent Inner West councillor

Barbara Coorey, Independent Canterbury-Bankstown councillor

Jane Smith, Central Coast Friends of Democracy

Glen Moore, Cootamundra-Gundagai Council in Exile

Make sure you register for this NSW-wide Webinar. Join us for great speakers and a robust discussion, 7pm Wednesday, 15 November.

MLC enters battle to restore local democracy in NSW

Whilst the forced mergers were the brain child of the former Coalition Government, the Minns Labor Government, despite a policy of giving communities a say through a plebiscite, has shown no political appetite to address any of the lingering problems.
