What's a Citizens Jury?
A case study for one! "What was the result?
The Jury made a series of recommendations including:
• The minimum acceptable condition for a range of infrastructure. This reduced the the shortfall for asset renewal from $5.065m to $2.354m, a saving of approximately $2.7m per annum.
• Endorsement of the unfunded works as a priority for the Marrickville community.
• That Council find efficiences and raise money through parking schemes.
• Endorsement of the unfunded works as a priority for the Marrickville community.
• That Council find efficiences and raise money through parking schemes.
Council is reconvening the Jury in early 2015 to report on how we are responding to each of the recommendations. In the meantime Council is also seeking community opinion on applying for a small special rate variation to fund the still-remaining shortfall for asset renewal. Read more about the proprosed rate increase. Council can only apply in February to IPART for a rate increase which is why we are seeking community feedback now.
More information on the responses to Jury recommendations will be posted here in 2015 following the next Jury meeting.... "
