Sections of the Council has been in disrepute for as long as I remember! All started with Lynette Styles being kicked out of meetings for releasing confidential information and for swearing. Very sad to see her business close now to save her the $200 gift voucher that she failed honour. Hope the ratepayers that have signed this petition know about the legal battle that Styles waged against the Council in 2002-2004 and resulted in costs being awarded to the Council due to her incompetence. She now wages a new war against personalities in a desperate attempt to be elected. The best thing about her running for local, state and federal is that we as rate payers get the opportunity to vote against her at every occasion.

In the interest of free speech I'm sure this comment won't get deleted like the others that have been on the WRRA facebook account.

A gerrymander perhaps. The ratepayers and residents should not have their rights whittled away like this. I reject Council’s resolution 9/2014 varying Community Forum Guidelines without community consultation.

They are in a public office, they got there because the rate payers elected them and the rate payers pay their salary. Maybe they forgot all that at some point.

This has only happened after a large group of the community have started to stand up for the wrongdoings from our council and councillors, asking questions that it seems council do not want to answer. Due to the fact that I know alot of ratepayers that have previously asked for information from councillors and instead have been treated in several different ways - banned from community websites for asking questions, ignored by councillors by email and not had their questions answered. It seems the community forum is which is becoming our only way of communication as we have already been restricted in other areas of contact is now being restricted to what the councillors want to answer. This to me is a gag tactic put in place so that the people that are concerned with our council, our shire and the behaviour of our councillors are silenced
