Response by Lenny Jenner, CEO
Thank you Mayor
The statement in the public question regarding serious challenges has been taken a little out of
context. In presenting a paper to the PLCA I acknowledged that the PLCA had presented serious
challenges to Council regarding the level of community engagement.
That said, the State Government Local Government Act details the specific statutory requirements
for Councils to follow when considering the sale of Council land. Council has diligently followed and
implemented these statutory requirements including the community consultation requirements.
Council has also flagged its intention to review its Community Engagement policy and this priority
will be progressed following the recruitment of the lead officer to fill this vacancy
