GM admits report fell short

IN a display of leadership, Derwent Valley Council general manager Stephen Mackey tonight apologised for leaving out key information from a report on the future of the New Norfolk Business Alliance.

In an otherwise comprehensive six-page report tabled at last month's council meeting and largely repeated at tonight's December meeting, Mr Mackey had failed to mention that the funds and functions of the Business Alliance had some months ago been handed to economic development organisation Valley Vision.

When the matter was raised during public question time, Mr Mackey said he could only offer his apology for leaving out the information. Perhaps this is the start of a new era of transparency and accountability at the council.
