Episode one. Before any particular decision, here is the machine: your council runs on three levers — rates, planning and works — and everything else you are angry about belongs to a government that is not your council. Why councillors set policy but cannot direct staff, why your rates bill rises even where a cap applies, who really controls the planning scheme, what a council genuinely cannot do, and how to get something done — on the agenda, inside the window, against the criteria.
General information about how local government is structured in Australia. Arrangements differ between states. Not advice about your own situation.
