De-amalgamation: The real costs and benefits

Labor tries to block Inner West Council s de-amalgamation referendum

But on May 26, councillors were notified by the council’s general manager that three Labor councilors who are not standing for reelection Anna York, Lucille McKenna and Sam Iskandar had tabled a rescission motion. This is unlikely to pass but could cause enough delay to make it hard to get the poll on the September 4 ballot. The  Local Government Act allows councils to undertake polls on specific questions, including at election time, and new amendments set out a process for de-amalgamation. A majority of residents voting to de-amalgamate would not be an automatic trigger but it would add to the pressure on the NSW government which forced the mergers to take place despite widespread opposition.
