Help us shoulder reform costs

Staff ReporterSouthern Gazette

‘A very rough estimate is that it is going to cost $12-20 million to amalgamate the two councils (Victoria Park and South Perth),’ Mr Vaughan said.

‘The Town has been successful in obtaining funding of $50,000 to assist in rolling out the Local Government Reform Toolkit which will provide us with a good start, but we will need additional funding to continue the amalgamation process.’

Mr Vaughan also wants funding for the development of Lathlain Park in partnership with West Coast Eagles and Perth Football Club, as well as increased and continued funding for roads and other infrastructure.
