Mission
 
To be the voice of Ratepayers and Residents in the SDRC region and to act to ensure their voice is heard and respected by their council; to work to give the people their democratic right to have their say on how their council should be constituted and operated and how boundaries should be determined and changed

 

Every donation helps in the fight to regain our autonomy!

 

We had a prosperous shire before amalgamation and we can have one again once we have control of our own finances and can DIRECT FUNDS WHERE OUR RESIDENTS CHOOSE to spend them - that's democracy!
