Kwinana Council MottoHaving spoken to many people in the Kwinana Community over the past few weeks, it is obvious that this community (in particular our battlers) are as outraged as I am, at plans for Kwinana Council to hold a “$34,000 Mayoral Party”. A ridiculous $170.00 a head party to thank developers, investors, politicians and bureaucrats for investing in Kwinana’s boom.
As our rates continue to rise more than most other councils in Australia (8 or 9 % last year) and Kwinana is classified the most disadvantaged community in Perth - Kwinana Council intends to hold a party for the rich and famous to thank them for trying to become more rich and famous and to thank others for the job they are paid to do.
The boom is not benefiting many of us in Kwinana, it is just assisting in making it harder to survive with rising fuel costs, grocery prices, rent and the accommodation shortage, some of us in this community and struggling to even pay the council rates.
Does holding this party, at this cost make sense to you? To me it seems a ridiculous waste of ratepayer’s money and rather than "working together for the best possible future for Kwinana" it seems more like paying dearly to reward a few who don't need nor deserve reward.

Surely if there is a need for such a party, it should be privately funded, by those seeing such a need, surely there must be enough CASH about in councilors and staff pockets.
Have you heard of the "after dinner entertainment"???
Good Luck
