Regarding the referendum question that Coast residents will be asked at the upcoming election here is Lawrie’s statement:
“Team Central Coast’s fifteen independent candidates agree that it is the role of prospective councillors to educate the community on pros for and cons of the referendum. We trust that our community has the ability to make their own informed decision on how they would like to see our region being governed in four years time.
Team Central Coast will respect the referendum decision made by our residents, as we believe that elected councillors are expected to represent the views of the community and not to tell the community how to vote.”
