We're dreaming?
Gosford Council's general manager Mr Peter Wilson has responded to a petition requesting the full and unedited KPMG council management audit report, saying "the reference in local newspapers was incorrect".
"The documentation referred to was not the report but a collection of working documents," he said in a report the July 24 meeting of Gosford Council.
He said a letter had been sent to the petitioners "advising that copies of the report were made available at Councils libraries, Administration Building and on Councils website".
Peninsula News stands by its coverage of the issue.
This paper has been told by a number of sources that a draft report was prepared by KPMG, which was subsequently edited to become the released report.
To establish the accuracy of this, the Peninsula Community Access Newspaper Inc association lodged a "Freedom of Information" request with the Council on June 24.
This request was not answered.
Subsequently, the association has lodged a request for an internal review of this action, with a view of taking the matter to the Ombudsman.
