If you are concerned about losing community assets like libraries, swimming pools, parks and childcare centres you need to act now.
One thing you can do is write to you local state member and let them know you do not support this change and that you trust your council to plan and deliver community facilities for you and other residents without further interference from the state government.
It is vitally important that all the political parties understand how important this issue is to the community. The addresses of all the State Members are provided below.
