Delivering a Child Safety Action Plan and community safety projects with NSW Police and Transport. These deferrals raise serious questions about whether Council is keeping pace with the infrastructure and planning demands of a growing region. But the reality is that the projects Council keeps putting off, like the LEP, are the ones that most affect housing, development, and future growth. Residents are being told to brace for a 40% rate hike over the next four years, yet Council is still deferring major planning responsibilities. For many in the community, this feels like a Council quick to take more and never deliver on a desperately needed long-term planning.
