• It makes sense
• Get on with it Premier
• 1 council is the only way to go! I really don’t like any other ideas!
• Go for full amalgamation. Let us become one great community
• I can’t wait to see one Northern Beaches Council, it should have happened years ago
• Time to think big. The Northern beaches is an identity all residents of the 3 councils can relate to
• Increased efficiencies and effectiveness
• The Northern beaches is a total community
• No need to have three separate councils duplicating services
• We are paying for too many councils
• Have a bigger say on larger issues

• Benefits of a unified northern beaches outweighs all other scenarios. It would improve the quality of life living here to have equal access and benefits across the peninsula, and makes it worth paying the exorbitant costs to live here
• I totally agree with the Northern Beaches Council recommendation and feel the benefits for all the Northern Beaches residents are tangible and significant
• It has always amazed me how many tiny LGAs Sydney has. Fragmented, uncoordinated and wasteful. Just plain dumb. Large scale amalgamations are way overdue
• I think it’s ridiculous such a small area has three councils. Australia is over-governed for such a small nation
• The Northern Beaches is an ideal area to have one council. It is easily defined from other areas. Warringah…now has the best performance and service of either Manly or Pittwater. In hindsight, Pittwater should never have been allowed to split from Warringah
