I refer to the Minister’s comments made at Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA’s) AGM on 3 August 2016, that there are two different sets of figures between the Department for Local Government and Communities “MyCouncil” website and WALGA’s “Know your Council” website, and ask: (a) What is the reason for the differentiation in these figures; and (b) Does the Minister intend to overhaul the MyCouncil website to ensure consistency in data for users?
