The Ratepayers Are Getting Angry


Steve Rogers, of South Launcestons, shares 
his views on the 
North Bank development in Launceston.

North Bank

IS IT not good news that the North Bank playground development, at great expense is going ahead?
The great news is that there have been zero representations against this project .
Has the council ever thought that a lot of ratepayers feel it is a complete waste of time, even putting forward a representation against any of the projects, funded by ratepayers of Launceston?
I see all the piling required for the work is complete, before the final development application.
Who foots the bill for the insurance on a venture like this?
What happens if some child, or some intoxicated twit, falls from the proposed 12-metre high sky walk?
By the way, is it time now that the Launceston ratepayers are mature enough, or privileged enough or allowed to know just how much was spent on the LED advertising around the York Park or Aurora Stadium. 
Hang on, now its UTAS Stadium isn't it?
Is it any wonder the ratepayers are not bothered to attend meetings?  The council just pushes the vote through after the job has started.
Steve Rogers, South Launceston.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Launcestonians and Northern Tasmanians last night had the spectacle of Launceston's Mayor on TV bleating away about LGH losing its Emergency Medicine Accreditation
Up to now he's been singing the government's praises on almost everything and after the election we find him bleating away as if anybody in government listens. 
They know that he hasn't got the gonads to do anything that'd hurt them so they let him bleat as people bleed and choose to live elsewhere as the city becomes a more and more dangerous place to live.
He and the whole Council should hand in their chips right now and let an administrator take the city to an election for a more accountable Council if we cannot get amalgamation.
SPEAK UP & SPEAK OUT 
RESIDENTS & RATEPAYERS!

Towards a Cultural Strategy for Launceston

Belinda Cotton I Executive Officer, Arts and Culture | City of Launceston

You are warmly invited to attend an information session at the Queen Victoria Museum (Inveresk) on Monday, 26 March 2018 at 4pm.

The aim of the session is to share with you, what has been done, what is happening now and where we are headed to in the short, medium and long term.

We acknowledge that it has been a long process to get to this point but we are determined to get the right Cultural Strategy for Launceston - one that is uniquely its own and one that will create the kind of creative community that its many artists, performers, writers, musicians, producers, videographers, digital creatives, poets, comedians, playwrights, designers, architects, choirs, film-makers and the many other cultural practitioners are proud of.

As one of the original people who generously gave time to the various consultation processes leading up to the delivery of the interim report to Council by Robyn Archer AO in April 2017, we would like to provide you, first, an update on the state of play before the next phase commences.

Your continued involvement would be greatly appreciated and welcome. I do hope you can join us.*
