Canberra asks council to advise on federal capital plan
A Canberra cabinet proposal seeks abolition of the federal capital control and the creation of a five member council elected by territory voters to advise the authorities and operate as a town council until rates cover operating costs. The move aims to regulate local governance and public works while a Canberra Times controversy over Rotary Club criticism unfolds. Canon Ward resigns after 18 years at St John’s Canberra and the Community Library plans a membership drive to boost subscribers, aided by subsidy.
