    SIX REASONS WHY YOU

    SHOULD GET INVOLVED


    1. Estimated cost of this Belmont takeover to the
    ratepayers will exceed $10,000,000 due to staff
    redundancies, new branding, new signage, new technology
    systems and new stationery. Significant rate rises are
    inevitable.

    2. There will be significant loss of our community identity


    and local services.

    3. The State Government plans to eliminate the current


    democratic right of Kalamunda residents to vote on the
    takeover.

    4. The State Government has broken its election promise


    not to force council amalgamations.

    5. There has been no business plan by the State


    Government to identify benefits and financial costs. There
    is no evidence that there will be any cost savings.

    6. All decisions regarding the “new city,” including name,


    rate levels, staffing, ward representation and services to be
    eliminated will only be made by current Belmont
    Councillors.
    TAKE ACTION AND JOIN TOGETHER AS ONE
    VOICE. TOGETHER WE HAVE THE POWER
    TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT LISTEN TO THE
    VOICE OF THE PEOPLE THEY REPRESENT ...
    YOU !!
