CITY OF ALBANY — BETTER PRACTICE REVIEW
I am speaking to the minister not the monkey! I have a supplementary question. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members! Mr P.B. WATSON : Does the minister agree with the CEO that the better practice review has little or no relevance to the governance difficulties being experienced? He has recommended that it be discontinued. That is right from the coalface! Mr G.M. CASTRILLI

This better practice review was implemented in February before the CEO was in place. There is a comprehensive capacity-building exercise going on. The City of Albany has advertised for a permanent CEO, which I expect early next year, and I wait for that outcome.
