Dear SHHMC Supporters,
Hunters Hill Council Extraordinary Meeting – Friday 23rd Sept 2016
Hunters Hill Council held an Extraordinary Meeting on Friday evening 23 September to considered the Land and Environment Court decision dismissing its legal challenge to the Government’s forced amalgamation process.
The Council chambers were overflowing with concerned and passionate residents, many determined to retain the independence of their Municipality.
The following residents spoke in favour of an appeal: Jim Sanderson, Helen Temple, Ron Kaplan, Bridget Hawthorne, Ross Williams and Phil Jenkyn. Chris Schofield and Justin Parry-Okeden spoke against.
The Council had a confidential legal briefing beforehand. It was disclosed at the meeting that senior counsel’s interim advice stated that there are a number of “good” and “reasonable” grounds for an appeal.
The Council after debate resolved 5 to 2 to file a notice of intention to appeal by Tuesday next week 27 September.
In addition it resolved to seek from the Government undertakings and if necessary an injunction. The Council is to seek an order that each party pay their own costs concerning the recent L&E Court case.
Council will hold another meeting when the final advice has been received and the Woollahra appeal decided, or earlier if need be.
Councillors voting in favour of the resolutions were Mayor Richard Quinn, Mark Bennett, Meredith Sheil, Justine McLaughlin and Peter Astridge; and those against were Zac Miles and Gary Bird.
There have been a number of recent articles critical of the Premier and the Liberal Government. These are from conservative commentators and media – Alan Jones, the Daily Telegraph, News and 9News.
SMH articles have dealt with a number of topics – unlawful donations, the Government’s falling electoral support, and the poor performance of newly merged Mega Councils.
These article are here. You can keep up to date on all relevant information through our website and facebook page.
Many thanks to those Councillors who are standing up for Hunters Hill and to all those members of the community who are standing with them.
Kind regards,
Phil Jenkyn and Ross Williams
