Cabonne Council will seek approval from theState Government to abolish wards within theShire.At an extraordinary meeting Tuesday7 November 2011, the Council resolved toapply to Local Government Minister Don Pageto do away with the wards system whenCouncil elections are held in September nextyear.The Shire currently has six wards, eachrepresented by two Councillors, but MayorBob Dowling said the abolition of wards wouldenable all residents to vote for the candidatesthey believe would best represent them.Cr Dowling said the move would be a positivestep towards overcoming parochialism andwould help to attract more and bettercandidates at the next Local Governmentelections.
“Initially I was apprehensive, but after talking
to Mayors of nearby Councils that have
abolished wards, I‟m confident this move won‟t
adversely affect representation for smaller
areas within the Shire,” Cr Dowling said.
 
“In all cases, there has been a spread of 
Councillors elected from across their areas,
including small localities.”
 Cr Dowling said the proposal had been widelyadvertised, as well as being discussed at anumber of community consultation meetingsduring the past six weeks.In addition to the advertising and widespreadmedia coverage, flyers stating the cases forand against the retention of wards were placedat village post offices, libraries and a numberof businesses.At the end of the advertising period theCouncil received seven submissions, four of which were opposed to the move.
“All seven submissions will be presented to theMinister along with the Council‟s application todo away with wards,” the Mayor said.
 Recent amendments to the Local GovernmentAct enabled Council to abolish wards andreduce the number of Councillors without aConstitutional Referendum, however Cabonnewill retain the existing number of 12Councillors.The Mayor said the move should ensure thatall Councillors represented the entire Shire not just the area where they were elected.
“It would give all residents the opportunity to
vote for people they believe would bestrepresent them without being constrained by
ward boundaries,” he said.
 
“Councillors would be more likely to have a
more strategic approach and think morebroadly about issues, as well as being less
likely to be accused of bias.”
 Cr Dowling said the proposal would removeany confusion about ward boundaries, as wellas cutting election costs with only oneelectoral roll and one ballot paper needed.Population shifts within the Shire would havemade it difficult to retain wards whichmaintained local representation.Although it would have been possible to haveward boundaries which satisfied the LocalGovernment Act, they could have resulted inmany residents having little affinity to theareas in which they could be included.
“You could have had people living on the out-
skirts of some villages voting for people from
other areas,” Cr Dowling.
 
“For example people on the outskirts of Cudal
could have been voting for candidates fromManildra, Cumnock and Yeoval if wards weremaintained, while those on the outskirts of Cargo could have been voting for candidates
in Canowindra but not those from Cargo.”
