In an earlier post (http://capitalcitycitizenscommittee.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/why-city-of-perth-bill-is-fatally-flawed.html) we set out the reasons why all of us should be very concerned about the Government's attempt to foist an ill-thought-out and fatally-flawed City of Perth Bill on us in the name of creating a great capital city for WA.
We are aware that simply expressing our concerns will be taken by some as being negative, but in fact we support the creation of a more effective capital city for Western Australia. The current Bill, however, is so flawed that we believe it should be withdrawn or defeated and something better put in its place.
As a positive contribution to this, the CCCC has developed a framework document for a capital city (attached), which we respectfully request that you consider when responding to the current Bill. The first part of our document reviews practice in all Australian state Capital Cities (no two cities are the same). The last page and a half sets out what we consider to be the essential principles and legislative requirements for a truly great capital city, including involvement of all stakeholders, openness and accountability, and establishment of a means for effective implementation of agreed policies, strategies and plans.
