Question 6 from PLCA
At the BoQ council meeting 24/2/16, Councillors Russell / Merriman moved (& Carried
unanimously):
"That Council:
1. Request the Chief Executive Officer to write to the Minister for Local Government formally
requesting that she establish a local government panel, pursuant to Section 220A of the Local
Government Act 1989, to conduct a review of the municipal boundary between Borough Of
Queenscliffe and Greater Geelong City Council, with a view to Borough of Queenscliffe making a
restructuring order so that the boundary is altered and the entire postcode area of 3225 is
included with the Borough of Queenscliffe’s municipal district, and;Borough of Queenscliffe

2. Requests the Chief Executive Officer write to Greater Geelong City Council’s Chief Executive
Officer advising of this resolution.
3. That the Chief Executive Officer present a research paper to Council (and community) on the
likely impacts, present and future, to the Borough Council, such as, but limited to, net-financial
costs, infrastructure and capital works, planning, staffing, and other likely consequences of
successful boundary realignment."
PLCA would like to ask:
1. Has the local Government panel been formed?
2. What has happened to the research paper requested by former Cr. Russell & Cr. Merriman, and,
if completed, when will it be released to the public?

Do the Borough know when the completion date is for the roundabout works at The Point,
Bellarine Hwy? The only scarce information is that it will be completed in June 2017.
