Minister for Local Government and Planning Roger Jaensch needs to emerge from hibernation and listen to Glamorgan Spring Bay residents.
Shadow Minister for Local Government and Planning Anita Dow said while the Glamorgan Spring Bay community was facing vast rate increases, Minister Jaensch was nowhere to be seen.
“Concerns have been raised across the community about the steep rate rises for the Glamorgan Spring Bay municipality,” Ms Dow said.
“Residents believe that this rise is a result of dysfunction within Council over a sustained period of time and are frustrated by the government’s reluctance to step in.

Minister for Local Government and Planning Roger Jaensch must step in and help the Glamorgan Spring Bay community.
Labor Member for Lyons Jen Butler said the government was showing incredible reluctance to assist the people of Glamorgan Spring Bay.
“While residents of Glamorgan Spring Bay are being slugged with massive rate increases the government is nowhere to be seen,” Ms Butler said.
“What does Minister Jaensch have to say about the changes to the rating system in this community?”
Ms Butler said she will be meeting with community leaders next week alongside Shadow Minister for Local Government and Acting Labor Leader Anita Dow.
