Gold Coast residents and former Councillors demanding answers.

Prior to 2012 election William Owen-Jones (elected Div 2) and Tom Tate (elected Mayor) lodged a petition (below) with then Deputy Mayor Daphne McDonald demanding the urgent release of confidential information in order to allow a balanced and informed debate by ALL candidates on the state of the current administration and the financial management of the Gold Coast City Council [!!!].

See list of new demands for release of documents below.

Can the key petitioner and some of the now sitting councillors who were elected back in 2012, please provide some answers on their requested item below and also add the following:-
(In the Public interest and Questions on Notice to the Councillors and CEO)

Why has there been so many closed sessions with the elected Council since 2012?

Can you please list all closed sessions since 2012?

Should and can all sitting councillors be asked to declare any Drug and Drink Driving charges dealt with in either the Gold Coast or BRISBANE Courts in the past 10 years?

(Maybe it’s time to have our elected official drug and alcohol tested on a regular basis)

Should and can any of the current sitting councillors declare if or they have not had any Domestic Violence Orders dealt with in the Courts here on the Gold Coast or else where in the past 10 year or longer?

In relation to the Helensvale Golf Course bail out, soon after the 2012 election.

Can you please tell us how many times since 2012 was the Golf Club bailed out, what funding packages were given, any liquidation and bail outs packages and when was the business case done for which of the funding packages?

What secret deal was done and what public consultation was done with the Titans deal to acquire city owned public open space at Oxenford?

The true cost of the Cities welcome Lights on the M1 at Yatala?

When was the Black Swan Lake voted on and really handed over for the first time, to the Gold Coast Turf Club?

Was any Councillor sitting on the Board prior to or during this time?

The full expenditure and costs to our rate payers, to date, for all feasibility studies and officers time to investigate a Gold Coast Cruise-ship Terminal?

What has been the final cost to the councils logo change to the Red Dot including any required branding changes?

Why and how can a bequeathed block of land for parkland be so easily sold off, in reference to the Neil Shannon Parkland and sold off under the so called Bruce Bishop Carpark sale tender?

Why has Council misrepresented residences concern and mention former Councillor Grant Pforr in point of clarification at the last full council open meeting?

We the residents mentioned, demand an apology in writing for this outrageous use of the council meeting. When clearly the facts are out their in councils own emails on pump station failures, water testing results and budget documents. All questioning the lack of upgrades to our pumps, pipes and wastewater treatment plants has been the end result.
This is not fake social media, as was the statements made at full council. They are a result of councils own internal emails and water testing results done!

Question then also raises itself, in why this water testing was stopped in 2016 and actually who hold carriage of proper water testing?

Which department holds the true responsibility, please advise?

This now puts into question years of neglect by the sitting councillors and those councillors who where advised of problems by concerned residents back in 2016?
Someone should be held accountable and yes we are making this one of the biggest election issue and possible class action.

These are just a few answers we like before the March 28 Local Government elections.
