A forum is happening at the Launceston Town Hall on Monday July 19 organised by Alderman Jeremy Ball.Time: 6pm
Date: Monday July 19th
Place: Town Hall, Launceston City Council, St John St Launceston.
Ald. Ball put a motion to the LCC requesting that we hold a public forum exploring the possibilities for resource recovery at the Launceston tip and the opening of a new tip shop.
Anyone interested should come along to the meeting. Nothing is being recovered from the tip drop off point at the moment as everything is trucked to Spreyton and crushed.
If you are interested in Launceston becoming a sustainable community demonstrating your interest might go some way towards Launceston Council adopting some new strategies for reducing WASTE.
It will be very interesting to see which Aldermen turn up BUT more importantly, which Council officers turn up and participate positively in the forum. Bring your note pads!

The LCC Resource Recovery Review 2010 posits a 10x increase in the waste levy over the next 4.5 years.
The State government and Council has just raised the cost of rates, water & sewerage by around 40% of the 2009 rateable value.
1) Why are these increases sought and what commitment does the LCC have to assuring that they are affordable to the population?
2) Given a public meeting, why does the review not present clear options, costs and goals for public participation rather than 'considerations' that presuppose acceptance (of the review)?
