On 8 February this year, I suspended the Glenorchy City Council aldermen for a period of six months. That suspension is due to end at midnight tonight.
Last month I wrote to the suspended aldermen inviting them to provide reasons why I should not suspend them again for a further six months. Following careful consideration of their replies, I have today written to Glenorchy City Council aldermen and advised them that I am suspending them again for a further six months. I will also recommend to the Governor that Sue Smith is reappointed as Commissioner for the Council.
The Government is yet to receive the Board of Inquiry report into the Glenorchy City Council and therefore we are unable to make a final decision on the future of the Glenorchy City Council at this stage.
