City of Subiaco Local Government Structural Reform Online Community Survey City of Subiaco Local Government Structural Reform Online community survey Results summary report January 2014 Page 1 Background On 30 July 2013 the Western Australian state government announced its intention to merge the City of Subiaco and six other local governments into one western suburbs council. At its meeting on 26 November 2013 the council of the City of Subiaco resolved to conduct an independent survey among residents to evaluate community views on proposed local government structural reform. This independent telephone survey was carried out by the organisation Catalyse throughout December 2013. The results of the telephone survey will be provided to council to inform decision making. For those community members who did not receive a phone call about the survey but still wanted to have a say, an online survey was developed by the City of Subiaco. This was a modified version of the telephone survey, and was carried out on the city’s online community engagement hub, Have your say Subiaco, from 6 – 16 December 2013. This summary report deals with the results of the online community survey carried out by the City of Subiaco. Methodology The online community survey carried out by the city was a slightly modified version of the telephone survey carried out by Catalyse. Modifications were made to allow the survey to be carried out online. The survey was open to all and all responses were anonymous. The online community survey was advertised on the city’s website and on Have your say Subiaco, the city’s online community engagement website. A hard copy version of the online survey, with an attached reply paid envelope, was available from the City of Subiaco Administration Centre, for those who preferred not to participate online. A total of 185 responses were received, including 14 hard copies. Participation in the online survey was on a self-selection basis and is therefore not a representative sample of the views of the City of Subiaco community. Results The results for the online community survey (including hard copy responses) shown in this report are presented question by question. The percentages shown in the results have been rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. The information included in the survey to explain the various questions is also provided in the results below. Proposal to merge seven western suburbs councils The state government plans to merge all seven councils in the western suburbs (including most of the City of Subiaco and all of Cambridge, Claremont, Cottesloe, Mosman Park, Nedlands and Peppermint Grove as well as parts of surrounding suburbs) into one council. The new Page 2 council would extend from West Leederville down to Dalkeith, across to Mosman Park and up to City Beach. Question: Do you support the state government’s plan to merge the seven councils in the western suburbs into one council? A total of 185 responses were received to this question, with 160 respondents answering ‘no’ (86%), 14 answering ‘yes’ (8%), and 11 answering ‘unsure’ (6%). Question: If yes, why do you support the planned changes? A total of 10 responses were received to this question, with a selection of comments provided below. Improved efficiency with a large council over several smaller ones ‘Consolidation of western suburbs councils will produce cost and resource efficiencies.’ Consistency across the seven councils ‘Consistency in planning, less nepotism and cronyism and better integrated outcomes for the western suburbs.’ There are too many small local councils ‘Efficiency in government. You don’t need seven mayors for an area that small.’ ‘Some of the Councils are very small and the number of Councils in the western suburbs seems to be based on historical reasons without any evaluation of the efficiency of this model.’ Dissatisfaction with current council ‘Because it will bring about efficiencies, but more because we will get a more balanced and strategically aware Council. It’s all just too NIMBY focussed with the current arrangement. With a bigger pool of skilled candidates, we get better qualified elected members than we have at present.’ Page 3 ‘The current council is myopic, inefficient and unwilling to embrace change. While there is no guarantee that an expanded council would be any better, I do not think it could be much worse than the current situation.’ ‘I feel that Councillors have their own agendas and don’t listen to all of the community.’ Question: If no, why do you oppose the planned changes? A total of 145 responses were received, with a selection of comments provided below. Losing proper representation and a council that understands the local area ‘I am happy with Subiaco council, I feel we need a local voice.’ ‘I like to be represented at a Local Government level by councillors and a Mayor that understand the community where I live and know where my street is. I have this in Subiaco.’ ‘Currently we know our councillors and they know us and our issues. Subiaco is so special. Let’s keep it that way.’ ‘Elected Members of mega-councils would not be as accessible to residents and ratepayers.’ ‘Smaller councils understand what is happening in their community. With smaller councils your councillor is someone you see on the streets or at local events, not just someone on a website.’ ‘Our representation will be watered down, potentially to the extent that people will have no representation to speak of at a local level, along with an increased ability for others outside our community and in the state government to say how things should be in our community rather than we ourselves.’ Bigger does not mean better, the area will be too big to handle efficiently ‘A council created by the merger of 7 councils is too large; residents are left with little representation on council and as amenities vary greatly in these 7 councils a council area like Subiaco would be disadvantaged.’ ‘Am not convinced that a bigger council will be better or more economical.’ ‘Big organisations are less responsive, and the sense of belonging and responsibility we all share as a community will be lost’. ‘Communities are what makes local councils work. Too big and no one is interested or has ownership. In this case small is best.’ ‘I believe that small efficient Councils offer a quality of responsive service that is not available from large bureaucratic institutions.’ ‘I feel the large council will not be able to provide the services that we as ratepayers experience now. Larger is not better and it is more personalised and attentive to us as individual ratepayers than if we were just one of many.’ ‘Successfully combining the systems of seven organisations seems an impossible task.’ Page 4 Subiaco will lose its identity, the areas are too diverse to merge ‘It will destroy the identity of the communities for no direct benefit and will open local government to party politics, to its detriment.’ ‘Quite different councils to be merged. Should merge like councils. Also not convinced that this will benefit ratepayers economically speaking as the data suggests otherwise.’ ‘Subiaco has little in common with the other council areas.’ ‘Subiaco will lose its village atmosphere. Rates will rise and services diminish.’ ‘The 7 Local Governments are very “identity orientated” and as such have little in common other than being human.’ Residents will no longer receive the quality services that council provides ‘Area will be too large and I feel that level of services will drop.’ ‘As the council areas already include diverse areas and large populations, making this more diverse and larger will put a strain on services and affect the quality of service provided.’ ‘Less personal attention to planning issues.’ ‘Prefer rates to be used for Subiaco purposes.’ ‘Subiaco operates well, responds to residents, businesses, is financially sound. The quality of services and amenities is better than surrounding councils. Mergers would “dilute” these positive attributes.’ It is fine the way it is, no need to change it ‘Because I am happy with the way that the Subiaco Council is currently run and therefore do not wish for any change.’ ‘We are very happy ratepayers. We have never had a problem with the City of Subiaco and we feel that what we pay in rates is fair given the services we receive.’ ‘I am happy with the present system and no solid reasons have been given to change.’ ‘If I wanted to live in any other suburb I would have moved there. Subiaco council looks after its ratepayers pretty well as it is.’ ‘Subiaco is a vibrant, well managed, efficient council. Its councillors are locals, and all very approachable and have Subiaco residents’ interests at heart. In summary, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ There is no convincing evidence of the benefits ‘Because we’re happy with our current council arrangements and we believe that amalgamation will cost more. Ratepayers will bear the brunt of that cost. To date, the state government has not articulated the value proposition behind the mergers.’ Page 5 ‘I cannot see any benefit in the merger and can only think of the negative impact.’ ‘I would like Subiaco to remain an independent council. I can see no benefit in merging with 1 or 6 other councils.’ ‘It is an arbitrary decision by the state government and the only beneficiaries will be developers. There are no demonstrable advantages to rate payers.’ ‘The State Government’s proposal has not been backed by any evidence based research demonstrating that larger local government areas result in better outcomes in financial or social terms for existing ratepayers.’ Proposed boundary changes for an extended City of Perth Under changes proposed by the state government, a number of properties in Nedlands and Crawley will become part of the City of Perth, which will be extended to include the whole of the City of Vincent, including Leederville and Northbridge.

  • The Complete Process for Building and Upgrading Roads in Western Australia And; Roads in the Southern River Electorate
    Arteries of Life: The Complete Process for Building and Upgrading Roads in Western Australia and; Roads in the Southern River Electorate By Gary Payne Prepared for Peter Abetz Executive Summary The purpose of this report was to examine the process for building and upgrading roads in Metropolitan Western Australia, and to review previous road projects in the Southern River Electorate on certain roads. Research for this report included a review of current literature from a number of sources, as well as two interviews of key persons in the road building industry and a number of email inquiries to road building authorities. In Part A, all of these findings have been organised into a road building process. The initial idea for a road project can come from a great many sources, but these are often confined to government and intergovernmental bodies. A road is legally planned by an amendment of the Metropolitan Regional Planning scheme, and Local Planning Schemes. The process for amending the schemes differ with the size of a road project. But a project needs to be funded if it is to become reality. There are processes in place to ensure that money is redistributed from those people who use the system, to those that maintain it. There are a number of strategies to deliver a project, but most use the private sector in some way. To fairly include and harness these contractors, a tendering process has been set up by Main Roads and Local Government. The design of a project is massively important to eventually assess its success.
