READ NOWMayor Mick Wainwright said it was important for residents to get behind the review and have their say.
“The current structure is not an option because there’s an imbalance in the number of people in each ward due to recent changes in the way voters are enrolled and the transfer of Noranda to the City of Bayswater,” he said.
“So, we are asking for feedback on the number of councillors in each district and ward, the number of wards, ward boundaries and the names of those wards.
“As any changes could affect the way people vote and how your community is represented, I strongly encourage as many residents as possible provide their feedback.”
The public submission period is now open and will run until January 31, 2017.
