Council needs new direction, says Shadow Minister

Shadow Minister for the Central Coast, Mr David Harris, has called for the newly-elected Central Coast Council to act quickly to improve transparency for rate payers.

"An independent panel of solicitors should be set up to replace the internal Ombudsman position so staff complaints can be heard with confidentiality," Mr Harris said.

"The former Warringah Council had such a structure to protect staff," he said.

Mr Harris also called for an immediate review of community use charges for facilities "to ensure fair, affordable access for sporting and community groups.

"Our Council needs a new direction as soon as possible," he said.
