This shows people out there are interested and are seeking information which they are not getting through the official channels or by the candidates. Lets hope for some serious change this time around – another 4 years of pro-development Councillors and Administration, combined with the open slather new planning zones, does not bear thinking about.
Congratulations and keep up the good work Glen Eira Debates.

Thank good for the good thinking of the few who started this blog up. You definitely filled a huge void – badly needed to educate & inform the community of what is really going on in GE Council….
By contrast, GE Council ,for e.g. GE Newsletter is sheer crap that we the ratepayers are having to pay for- a PROPOGANDA garbage that no one believes- I, for one am so sick of seeing photos of the self serving Esakoff, Hyams and Lipshutz in that rag pretendingto be doing good for thecommunity- while our local streets are turned into rat-runs, shops, one by one are disappearing from local activity centres, where’s the economic revitilisation development strategy?, footpaths & kerbs are falling apart, local libraries are needing expansion and revitilisation, open spaces are disapperaing.
C’mon GE community – its up to you on 27 Oct- make the change- (MODERATORS: rest of sentence deleted)

Elsternwick – If you are not happy with the municipality that you live in, why dont you move out from Glen Eira and make your bedding elsewhere.

Pathetic response Anon. Being critical of someone who is willing to clearly outline areas of concern in our municipality is indicative of a submissive person. You are clearly not a critical thinker but you’er happy to believe the selective information feeds of GE Council. Are you a Councillor or a manager at City of Glen Eira?

I think people like you should definitely leave the municipality. I bet you’re either not a ratepayer or you are a looser councillor about to be voted out!

Thank you GE Debates for this superb website. I can only imagine the hours that you put into this site to improve transparency and to generate discussion to encourage our Council (in theory there to support our community) to improve the environment we residents of Glen Eira live in.
Thank you. Let’s hope your efforts are worthwhile and reflected in the upcoming elections.
