Strathfield Park Debate Splits Ratepayers Over Site Choice
The Strathfield Park dispute shows ratepayers clashing with council after a public ballot on park site size and location failed to settle the matter. A 727 ballot yielded 399 votes with 193 favoring a cheaper 18 acre option, 80 backing the council’s original site, and 105 supporting the opponent’s 4 1 2 acre proposal, while 15 abstained. The council then sought extra funding to purchase a site without broader public approval.
