Polling day booth management <strong>Council</strong>s will be asked to manage the ?staffing? (with staff, volunteers etc.) themselves in their own LGAs. The suggestion is to appoint a specific Booth manager to oversee the organisation of this. Banners and other collateral will be supplied. Know the key messages: (don?t let our aim ? which is a straightforward one - be blurred by confusing fear tactics or politics ? this is about our communities, and their people) This is an important referendum that will give councils certainty about funding for vital infrastructure and community services. Including local government in the Australian Constitution will confirm the Federal Government's ability to provide funding directly to councils. As it stands the door is open to legally challenge funding programs such as Roads to Recovery, Regional and Local Community Infrastructure, Pathways to Adaptation, Regional Partnerships and the Regional Development Australian Fund. Constitutional recognition won't change the status of local government, its powers, or its relationship with the state government. The referendum will simply formalise what has already been happening for more than ten years. <strong>Council</strong>s will remain the responsibility of state governments. The states will still be able to amalgamate councils, de-amalgamate councils, change council boundaries and dismiss non-performing councils.
