The spin doctors at clowncil must have really been working overtime on their Domestic Animal Management Policy. What is again clear is the lack of balance. Below is a table comparing page lengths of other councils’ policies and the frequency of the use of such inflammatory language as ‘attack/attcking’; ’safety’ and ‘risk’. It makes for […]

If anyone required clear ‘evidence’ as to this clowncil’s attitude to pet ownership, then it is blindingly obvious in the following. Brimbank Council states in its Animal Management Policy: “There needs to be a balance between the rights of animal owners and the rights and safety of others” (Page 17).
Glen Eira on the other hand, […]

From the Caulfield/Glen Eira Leader (Feb 19th)
Ratepayers will get their chance
Your article last week once again exposed the incredible arrogance of Glen Eira Council.
Ludicrous claims by Paul Burke, that there will be a net gain of open space by building a $5 million pavilion with dozens of new parking spaces, insult residents.
Apart from Maccabi Junior […]

If clowncil really wants to know what residents think about a variety of issues then I challenge them to put up the following questionnaire on their website –
 

Do you think the current $2.94 million‘ redevelopment’ of Centre Road Shopping Centre is ’successful’?
Are you in favour of a $3.4 million pavilion in Caulfield Park?
Are you in favour […]

What is absolutely staggering about this Glen Eira Clowncil is the fact that our elected representatives actually believe they are doing a fabulous job!
The ‘community meetings’ have now been going for a week and what has come across strongly and clearly in EACH OF THESE MEETINGS is the level of dissatisfaction with: consultation processes and the fact […]

Glen Eira Clowncil really takes the cake! It’s Animal Management Plan states that its officers are ‘friendly’ and are not dressed in ‘military style uniforms’. No folks, they’ve been known to dress in uniforms that are distinctly similar to policemen’s uniforms. Further, they leap out from behind trees, park in unobtrusive spots, approach dog-owners who […]

Age Editorial (Saturday 9th Feb)
Planning and community voices go together

THE many thousands of St Kilda residents who passionately opposed the $300 million development of their iconic foreshore have wasted little time in embarking on the next phase of their challenge to Port Phillip Council’s approval of this contentious project. But they could be forgiven should […]

I have already commented on Glen Eira Clowncil’s upcoming ‘consultation’ process regarding the Community Plan. It has previously gone under all the following misnomers - ‘consultation’; ‘forum’; ‘workshop’. Now we have the latest version as per clowncil’s media release. Please note that it is no longer ‘consultation’; no longer a ‘forum’ or a ‘workshop’. What we […]

Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!! Glen Eira Clowncil has FINALLY released its draft Domestic Animal Management Plan (DAMP). Despite the fact that that Clowncil has known about its legal obligations since November, 2005, we have at last, got a look at this remarkable document. After all this time we have ‘policy’ up for approval which should make […]

This is a very long post for which I apologise in advance. However, it is of vital importance that the wider community be made aware of the outright misrepresentation that Glen Eira Clowncil continually inflicts on its citizens and the wider community. Late last year, a ‘consultation paper’ was presented for discussion and public submissions […]
