Callan Park - OUR plan, OUR say

This website is the worst example I have ever seen of 'push polling' - your options are only to 'support this plan' or do some minor tinkering with 'my options' questions which are specifically designed so you can't change the major parts of the plan.

As an academic, I find this planning/survey question process quite un-transparent and would violate/fail our ethics committee on the structure of the questions.

I would almost laugh at this attempt to push an opinion, except instead I am crying since I am a local resident.
How on earth did this so-called survey occurred? Who approved it?

Very good...wonderful to hear that others are aware of the (very expensive) sham that's being perpetrated on the people of Leichhardt by their own Council.

After the very first meeting, I knew it would end in tears.

Today I found out that the 'Project Managers', will present this 'Master Plan' to Council, then they will vote and we poor slobs that pay such high rates...MAY be able to see it sometime in Feb.!!
