TO THE HONOURABLE THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

The petition of certain citizens of New South Wales who are concerned about the extent of the planned re-development of West Pymble Pools. Your petitioners request that the House notes that the West Pymble Pools are a unique and highly valued outdoor community asset. We request the House  further notes that the current plans do not comply with the Ku-ring-gai Bicentennial Park Plan of Management, and are not supported by a feasibility study. We ask that the House ensures that councils are not judges in their own cases with regards to their own developments.  Please enact legislation that ensures that council developments are adequately scrutinised by external parties on the basis of financial viability, environmental impact and community consultation.
