PETITION: Land Handover To UTAS

•  Launceston ratepayers going to be robbed of Millions of $$$ 
•  LCC intend to GIVE (not sell) Willis St, Car Park and Old Velodrome site to the University of Tasmania for NOTHING, not 1cent – WHY?  
•  The Willis St. Car Park returns $88,000 p.a. and that will be gone too and without 1cent compensation thus contributing to higher rates in the future – WHY?
•  LCC now involved with building bridge from Willis St. over Nth. Esk River to Inveresk, costing $millions thus contributing to higher rates in the future – WHY? 
•  Willis St and Velodrome Car Parks to go – 600 car spaces go – where will patrons to Aurora Stadium Park? LCC don’t know or care thus thus contributing to higher rates in the future  – WHY?
•  Who is going to pay for new car parks to cater for 1,000 cars from Newnham Campus (4,500 students) to Inveresk. LCC don’t know or care – WHY? 
•  LCC have spent $ thousands of Ratepayers money on this project so far (staff hours and money) but no compensation thus contributing to higher rates in now and the future – WHY?
•  WHY weren’t Ratepayers consulted with Public Meeting to discuss these issues? The LCC did not want you to know the truth – WHY?
•  These two prime parcels of land could bring $10million each on the open market – why should Council give them away FREE? 
•  Ratepayers demand $20million compensation for land and associated costs. 
•  Selling the two parcels of land would enable LCC to give Ratepayers 3 years with NO INCREASE in rates and a surplus to pay off $millions of loan debt thus mitigating against higher rates in the future
•  LCC rates are already $300-$400 higher than for equivalent properties in surrounding Councils – WHY?
•  Universities DO NOT pay rates or fire levy – WHY?
Act now-don’t take this nonsense any longer 
You and your neighbours please sign the Petition NOW!
