The Geelong Council has scheduled the Panel Review hearing on the drainage issue in Central Road, Ada Street, Thomas Street and Jetty Road for this Tuesday 20 July at 4.30pm.
The lucky residents who have the opportunity to be heard received letters in the mail on Thursday (15 July). Not much time given the council previously advised residents they would receive 2 weeks notice for the date of the hearing.
One might assume they did not want anyone to attend, but am I being too cynical about this so called consultative process? So much for open and transparent government.
More information is available from Dryclift Days article entitled: Local Voices Down the Drain?
Update: 2.15 pm, 19 July - the Geelong Council has now postponed the hearing until Tuesday 17 August - those affected were notified by phone today. This is a good outcome for residents, now they will have adequate time to prepare for the hearing.
