Thursday 16 April, Subcouncil 16 held a 2-hour meeting to unpack budget for the subcouncil and take questions. Recognised none of the online attendees and none of the people who asked questions at the venue were known to me. Their queries were not about the type of thing Pinelands has concerns about.
