WA records 5,005 new COVID-19 cases as total number of active infections surpasses 20,000
ABCThe number of active cases of COVID-19 in Western Australia has surpassed 20,000 for the first time after the state recorded 5,005 new infections overnight. "It's frustrating because it's just not a local government issue," Fremantle mayor Hannah Fitzhardinge told ABC Radio Perth. Calls for meeting requirement to be waived The president of the WA Local Government Association, Karen Chappel, said she shared many of Mayor Fitzhardinge's concerns about holding a public meeting at the moment. "There are currently a number of measures related to meetings under consideration as part of local government reform, including for special electors' meetings," he said. Mr Carey said his department had provided advice to local government on the issue, and was available to help councils facilitate meetings "in a COVID-safe manner".
