Expressions of Interest to join the Site Assessment Working Group have also closed. The City received 20 submissions from Swanbourne residents and the selection process was to take place at the City Administration Building on Monday, 12 October 2020. This will now be occurring on Wednesday, 14 October 2020.

Successful candidates will be notified first. Once those successful candidates have accepted their place, all other unsuccessful candidates will be notified.

Note: Additional names will be selected to ensure we have a replacement on the working group if someone declines their offer.

The outcome of the Community Consultation will be discussed at the October Council Meeting on the 27 October 2020. The Site Assessment Working Group members will also be endorsed at this meeting and a Councillor will be elected to Chair this working group.

The first meeting of the Site Assessment Working Group will be scheduled following the Council Meeting.
