With regard to The Substation, our community needs to let Council know that they should not fund an undemocratic, self-elected and self serving organisation that excludes local residents.

Hobsons Bay City Council should not be providing over $1M in funding to an organisation that has taken control of an asset created by volunteers in our community, for the benefit of all citizens of Hobsons Bay.

This self-elected Committee of Management of The Substation restricts membership of the Incorporated Association and limits access to a privileged few.

Let the Council know that The Substation must become more inclusive in both its organisational structure and in the arts based activities it promotes; otherwise it should be stripped of its $1M of ratepayers funding.
