Ku-ring-gai Council Elections As I have said, whilst I do not always see eye to eye with all elected to councils, I think such a system would produce a council that is broadly more representative of the Ku-ring-gai community. I would suggest to the council that at some stage of its current four-year term it have a good look at the voting system. I was pleased with the determination that voters will have a chance to elect the mayor of Warringah on the next occasion on which there is an election. www.parliament.nsw.gov.au /prod/parlment/hansart.nsf/V3Key/LA20040406031   (711 words)

Fr Carmelo's Homilies The Council in making its decision must, of course, weigh up the concerns of the neighbours opposing the application, against the reasons submitted by the Parish and Diocese for the rezoning. My childhood fetishes were confirmed by the Second Vatican Council when the Church stated in its constitution on the liturgy (Sacruum Concilium) that this was the highest act of worship to God and also that the very celebration of liturgy is to be a teacher of the dogmas of faith. Our land if successfully rezoned will all be Residential 2 C. What we achieved last Tuesday night was that the Council passed a motion to prepare a DLEP to present to the Department of Planning, which after a three month exhibition period will give all stake holders in the community time to consider the proposal. www.holynamewahroonga.com.au /Page51.htm   (2900 words)

Ku-Ring-Gai Council Storm Pamphlet - 30/03/1993 - ADJ When the council issued rate notices at the end of last year it distributed to every household a pamphlet entitled: "Preparing Your Home Against Severe Storms".

Wombat Digs Owners of established gardens are not told what they can and can’t plant but Ku-ring-gai certainly has a reputation for imposing its own ideas about suitable plants when plans have to be submitted. Murraya must be a particular favourite up there as Wombat has also had Council insist on it in a plan instead of Trachelospermum in a narrow space against a fence. Council apparently took him to task for substituting French lavender in his garden for the Murraya paniculata shown on the original DA landscape plan. www.aildm.com.au /news/wombat_digs.htm   (581 words)
