I request a Council inquiry into the administration of funds towards the local playground redevelopment.
Petition Number: 00001
Created By: Trevor Schnitzel
Deadline: 23rd December
At 10,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate by Council.
Background:
The recent redevelopment at Houston Park included the construction of a new sporting shed and stadium as well as children's playground. The costs for this project were estimated to be $1M. In the recent Council budget, costs for this project were reported to have almost doubled during delivery to $2.5M. This project also suffered from major delays and inconveniences to the local community. A council inquiry should ensure ratepayers have sufficient information as to why the costs blew out so significantly.
