Council trip raises questions

 Council trip raises questions | Your Local Examiner

🟦 Core Issue

A City of Gosnells delegation travelled to Campbelltown, NSW to inspect a lagoon‑style aquatic facility. A local resident has questioned whether the $9,366 trip was necessary or good value for money.

🟦 What the City Says

• The trip was part of due diligence for deciding the design of a new aquatic centre.

• Five representatives attended, including the Mayor and CEO Ian Cowie.

• The City argues:

  • There are no comparable lagoon-style facilities in WA, so an in‑person visit was needed.

  • A lagoon-style centre could cost around $50 million, so thorough investigation is “prudent and responsible”.

  • The trip provided valuable operational insights and direct engagement with Campbelltown staff.

  • Costs were covered under Elected Member Training and Development allowances.

  • All financial processes are subject to annual external audit.

🟦 What the Resident (James Rai) Says

• He questions the cost and necessity of interstate travel.

• Believes similar information could have been obtained via documents, data, or virtual briefings.

• Suggests a smaller delegation would have been sufficient.

• Concerned about spending during a time when households are tightening budgets.

• Sees this as part of a broader pattern of council overspending.

• Calls for slower rate rises and stronger cost discipline.

🟦 Broader Context

• The City is comparing:

  • A $50m lagoon-style facility, versus

  • The proposed $132m SPLASH development.

• The community has shown strong support for a new aquatic centre.

• The trip is framed as part of assessing the most suitable and cost‑effective option.

💰 3. Bankroll Management

• Set a budget before playing and stick to it.

• Establish win and loss limits to prevent chasing losses.

• Break your bankroll into smaller session units to maintain control and track spending.
