I refer to your letter to the Chair of the Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs dated 16 October 2017, which refer to more than 200 informal complaints about the City of Melville, and ask: (a) why have you based the information supplied to the Committee on informal complaints, when the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries has a practice in place of merging and recording complaints about an issue into a single database entry; and (b) why have you relied on informal complaints, rather than formal complaints?
