Statement from Peter Sycopoulis
In reply/support of the Mayor’s article published in the Warrnambool Standard 9th July 2020, I offer the following statement. I express my support to Peter Schneider in his efforts as our Chief Executive. To this point I have seen no reason to question Peter’s performance standards. Just as importantly though, I believe him to be a man of integrity and is highly principled – this goes a long way with me. I am impressed with the manner in which he has secured extra funding for the roofing of the Southwest Livestock Exchange and an extra $400,000 towards the combined Council/TAFE Library project. Other successes include the settlement of contractual disputes associated with a major project, implementing Council’s new environmental objectives, reviewing the organisational structure of Council, capably managing the corona virus emergency and co-operating with the Council to provide free parking for CBD areas. Even though the public are not privy to it, he is responsible for resolving many historical issues that had not been addressed in the past. A final point though. The last thing this city needs is a misdirected and unlawful coup. Warrnambool ratepayers desperately deserve and need a council that is guided by integrity, strong leadership, thorough oversight and scrutiny without fear or favour. Regards, Cr. Peter Sycopoulis
