Cr Jeanette McRae please explain!


Cr Jeanette McRae please explain!

Over the past year the Coldstream 2020 group have suggested it was time for Coldstream to expand its UGB.

We conducted a survey, Christine Fyffe MP conducted a survey but more importantly you, through the Shire conducted an extensive survey.

All three surveys, including yours, showed that it was time for Coldstream to EXPAND.

At the last Council meeting a motion by Cr Cox was put forward,
1.       Supports the retention of the Urban Growth Boundary without amendment.

2. Authorises officers to write to the Minister for Planning and all submitters advising them of this position.

Given that the residents of Coldstream wanted and expansion why did you vote for this motion?  Why did you not add an amendment to exclude Coldstream?

Given that thousands of ratepayer dollars has been spent on getting an external report, which was just about finished, why did you not wait for the details of this report?

When will the people who paid for this report (ratepayers) actually see it?
