We are deeply concerned that Hawkesbury Council is failing to meet its legislative obligations, consistently mismanaging project budgets, and exposing every initiative to serious risks of cost blowouts or non-completion. The organisation appears unable to attract or retain qualified staff, relying instead on underqualified personnel or costly consultants to fill critical gaps — further inflating expenses. Reports of a toxic workplace culture compound these issues. Our councillors seem unable to reach consensus on matters of public importance, and our General Manager appears increasingly out of touch with community priorities. Taken together, these failures point to systemic dysfunction driven by maladministration or the potential for corrupt practices.
The proposed 40% Special Variation to Rates is not only unjustified — it’s reckless. It amplifies existing dysfunction and, given that Hawkesbury rates already exceed those of neighbouring councils, would impose an even greater burden on ratepayers and struggling families.
Begrundelse
We call for a comprehensive organisational restructure, including a review of leadership and staffing arrangements, to identify efficiencies and reduce costs.
The community deserves transparency and access to real expenditure figures, not vague budget projections.
We are at breaking point and believe our local government is no longer serving the people.
Tak for jeres støtte, David Ball, Pitt Town

I’m increasingly frustrated with what I see as poor decision-making by Hawkesbury Council when it comes to maintaining public assets and managing our rates. In my view, there has been significant waste and a lack of progress on funded projects, and the delays in using grant money seem to have only increased the financial burden on residents. Some council staff come across as unapproachable and unhelpful, and several councillors appear to prioritise personal agendas rather than the best interests of our community.
This council is about putting money in their own pockets. They are not supporting the community. They don’t listen to the community. They do cheap dodgy upgrades to roads and infrastructure. They are developers a or in bed with the developers destroying habitat and farmland and allowing development on flood land and without the infrastructure to support the over development.

The already exorbitant council rates for pumping out sewer and the state of Grose Vale Road is appalling.
Nearly doubling our rates is unacceptable and with the cost of living, this will make a huge impact on people and could potentially force them out of the area.
