Consultation has concluded
Council recently invited the community to comment on the current representation arrangements regarding the Mayor and Councillors, known as a Representation Review.
The Review focuses on the number of Council members, retention of existing area structure or returning to a ward structure division and whether the Mayor should remain elected by the community.
The first round of consultation in June overwhelmingly showed support for the current arrangement. The report on The Rural City of Murray Bridge Representation Review is now open for a second round of community consultation before a final report is submitted to the Electoral Commissioner for approval and implementation.
Councils are required to undertake regular reviews to ensure process and structure reflected the best possible Local Government representation for ratepayers. A Representation Review gives Council and our community the opportunity to examine its present structure, to plan and implement changes, if required, to better reflect future community requirements.
Review principles will ensure any changes made will benefit ratepayers and that arrangements reflect communities of interest and separation of communities is avoided.
The report is now available for viewing and feedback as part of the public consultation process until 16 October 2020.
Written submissions can be posted to:
Representation Review 2020 Chief Executive Officer PO Box 421 MURRAY BRIDGE SA 5253

Submissions Close Friday 16 October 2020.
