Living in Byron Shire the majority of people continue to ask why is this organisation [council]continuously letting this community down as far as representing their best interest.
The main reason is the committees that are formed to represent the best interest of the Byron Shire community are controlled by the executive of Byron Shire Council. This is not a consultation process. As it has been previously stated the agendas that are presented to the committees are put together by the director who manages this division of Council and the mayor. How is this an open and transparent process?
These committees need to be allowed to question the process and results of what the executive of Byron Shire Council are allowing to be in place, and ask how well they are benefiting the community.
The current structure under which the committees operate does not allow this. It does not allow any form of constructive dialogue, it is a strategy which allows everything to remain the same. This does not benefit the community.
