effective anti– corruption processes in place, and an electoral
system which properly reflects the wishes of the voters .
b) Voices for our Community – Neighbourhood Committees and
Consultative Committees to be reinstated, resourced and recognized
by the Council as representative bodies.
c) Community Vision for the City – Appropriate development
for the people, including public infrastructure, while protecting
our natural and cultural heritage and our public land and resources
from any further sell off or alienation from the community.
2. Organization
The Reclaim Our City Campaign Committee consisting
of representatives from Neighbourhood/LAM Committees, resident groups,
South Coast unions, indigenous community representatives and other
community stakeholders will continue to meet and plan a program
of activities to promote the stated objectives. The Committee encourages
citizens who support this campaign to participate in these activities
and their organization.
