Recommendations
Recommendation 1
3.8 The
committee recommends that the Queensland government reimburse Mr Hayward, Chief
Executive Officer of Tambo Shire Council, in recognition of the expenses he
incurred in funding its plebiscite in an effort to give the community a say and
to protect its councillors from punitive fines and dismissal. Failing that, the
committee recommends that the Commonwealth government, consistent with its
policy of funding local government plebiscites in Queensland, consider
reimbursing Mr Hayward.
Recommendation 2
3.53 The
committee recommends that the Commonwealth government should continue dialogue
with local government to ascertain and clarify the objectives and form of any
constitutional recognition. A future referendum should only be held once local
government has a clear and unified view of the purpose and form of
constitutional recognition.
Recommendation 3
3.98 The
committee recommends that the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport
Committee conduct an inquiry into the social, economic and other impacts of the
amalgamation process at a suitable time after the council amalgamations are
implemented.
Recommendation 4
3.102 The
committee recommends that the bill be passed.
