Neither the Premier nor his staff have met with councillors or staff from the City of Perth between 17 March 2017 and 17 May 2017 .
As has been canvassed in the media, there has been correspondence between the Premier and the Lord Mayor regarding convening the Committee for the City of Perth. The Lord Mayor wrote on the 17 th and 21 st of March 2017 requesting a meeting. The Premier replied declining the request on the 7 th of April 2017.
Social or incidental contact may have occurred, as well as staff interacting with council staff as in their private capacity as a ratepayer.
