Poor, poor show Council.

A secret decision with no consultation and now a panicked implementation due to the public backlash on that decision.

Exactly! The council should consult ratepayers and not treat us like children!

Hepburn Shire Council will remove all geese and six ducks from Lake Daylesford – with no community consultation.
It has been called a “leadership decision”, but perhaps a better description is a “captain’s call”, described by the Macquarie Dictionary as “a decision made by a political or business leader without consultation with colleagues.”
Or, a tad unkindly by Urban Dictionary as “a decision made unilaterally by a team leader without consulting colleagues, often a massive cluster****.
And that is what we now have.
Whether you like the geese or don’t, the idea that Hepburn Shire Council can make a captain’s call, because they basically knew how unpopular it would, is wrong.
The council and the seven councillors act on behalf of its ratepayers. We pay them to do their job. We pay them to consult with us. We pay them to act on the best information available – not a single report. We pay them.
We do not pay them to tell us, like children, “because we said so”. We have the right to be heard. And if, at the end of the day, the decision to move the geese and ducks is the right one, then so be it. We still have the right to be heard.
If this is the right decision why has the council refused to say who it has contracted to move the geese, how they will be moved, where they are going and when. In its original media release council stated council staff would be on hand on the day of removal to answer any community concerns. The latest is “the time of the rehoming will be determined by animal welfare, logistical and OH&S considerations”.
Hepburn Shire Council should show real leadership by calling off the contractor and entering into real community consultation about the pros and cons of this planned removal. It's time to contact councillors and ask them to be real community leaders.
If the process takes a year, so what? What’s the rush? At the moment it's just a wild goose chase.

Just sayin’…
