REBRANDING

 RANT HAS REBRANDED TO BETTER SERVE THE NETWORK'S PURPOSE


The network's network's current  alliance and affiliations have evolved and by-and-large 'associates' have been focused on other social networks. Nonetheless, they have been in various ways working towards making Local Govt more transparent and truly accountable. Despite changes in Federal and State Government these changes have not resulted in governance that fits 21st C needs and aspirations. 

Against that background the decision to rebrand has been made to accommodate the network's evolving understandings of placemaking and governance from a geographical perspective and relative to the aspirations of Communities of Ownership and Interest.

MEDIA RELEASE: Citizens Petition

Spokesman for the Concerned Citizens Group, former Ald. Basil Fitch, said the launch of the petition against LCC's 'in principle' decision to give to UTas land known as 'Willis Street Car Park' and 'Old Velodrome' free, now gives Launceston's ratepayers and residents an opportunity to call a public meeting to fully discuss this matter.



Under Section 57 Local Government Act a petition must carry at least 1,000 signatures from ratepayers and residents to be effective.

Today former Ald. Basil Fitch, warned "if LCC are allowed to give this land worth millions $$'s away, it will set an awful precedent for the future."

 He also  "urged all ratepayers and residents to consider the petition very carefully."

"All our assets should be sold, not given away, thereby reducing rates by the proceeds of sale" Basil Fitch said.
