Good news is there are still “officially” 539 (out of 633) in OPPOSITION of the proposed LDP, which is 81.15% of respondents. How did the numbers change…
Why did the submission numbers change?
The initial indication of the number of submissions received by the City was as follows:
- 546 (85.3%) – Opposed to the development
- 16 (2.5%) – Neutral
- 78 (12.2%) – For the development
640 Total
We have now been advised that the confirmed final number, after audit, is revised to:
- 539 (85.15%) – Opposed to the development
- 17 (2.70%) – Neutral
- 77 (12.15%) – For the development
633 Total
We are given to understand the process adopted by the City was as follows:
- An initial count was taken of those opposing, supporting, or were neutral to the proposal
- Submissions were checked for validity (addresses in City of Joondalup and number of residents)
- Multiple submissions (of which there were 34) were reconciled
- Seven submissions were made in correspondence not on the submission form and were rejected reducing the original total advised to 633.
