Consultation fail on Burnie courthouse

Tasmanian Labor
  • Lack of government consultation on project
  • Concern brewing in the community over new location
  • Burnie needs a fit for purpose facility
  • The state government must work with the local community on its proposal to relocate the Burnie court, with yesterday's announcement coming as a surprise to many.

    Labor Member for Braddon Anita Dow said despite the Attorney General Elise Archer's claims of consultation, some key stakeholders were not consulted prior to the announcement.

    "The Burnie City Council is an important stakeholder, and will have an important role in any planning assessment, yet they were not consulted or even advised before the announcement.
