The City of Subiaco resolved, last Tuesday, to pursue a referendum of it's electors about the City of Perth Bill to be carried out at the time of the 2015 Council Elections. http://www.subiaco.wa.gov.au/getattachment/5e8a2df6-5315-4051-bb30-0094ede75b9a/Ordinary-Council-Meeting-28-July-2015
Good to see that Subiaco Council continues to have the courage of its convictions.
If Barnett and Simpson won't ask those affected, Subiaco Council has a moral (and possibly legal) obligation to do so.
Council was correct not to go down the 'legal advice' route, at least at this stage, as it would be no more than that (advice) and if the Bill is passed by the Parliament it might have been amended, in which case the advice could well be superseded.
The Capital City Citizens' Committee is a self-organising group of concerned citizens who believe that Western Australia deserves a better Capital City than the one that will be created by the current City of Perth Act. The Capital City belongs to all Western Australians, not just the ratepayers, residents and businesses of the City of Perth. We are all citizens of our capital city.
