I have often lamented the appalling state of this clowncil's website - it's sheer incompetence, deliberate 'hiding' of information, and its appalling design and search functionality. Over the past 3 years, council plans, environment plans, and all vision statements have included such promises as - 'update website/improve website', etc. etc. etc. Well here's another example of what kind of disaster this website actually is. I invite readers to log on to the following webpage - http://www.gleneira.vic.gov.au/Page/Page.asp?Page_Id=540&h=0
This is 'current urban design projects' which includes Bentleigh, Elsternwick and Carnegie. At the bottom of the page we have the following 'promise' and commitment - "Information about this project has been posted in local newspapers, and will continue to be updated on Council’s website." Has anyone had any recent 'updates'??? What a joke! and the final 'proof of the pudding' is in the eating. This page was last updated 23rd January 2007!!!!! That's right folks - nearly two years ago!!!! So much for all the bullshit that the community is fed about professionalism, and the adequacy of information provision. I'd like to know how much this 'webmaster' is being paid!! It's literally money down the drain!!

Now of course with changes to the local government act it will be really interesting to see if all important documents actually make it up on the website and how well this mob can hide them!!
apparently if the Councillors require it to be done of the Administration and there is a resolution accordingly, the officers must comply.
A couple of candidates are IT proficient. There shouldn't be any excuse for covering up and saying it is ok in some obscure part of the website well hidden from all but those hell bent on finding the information!
Like finding the reduction of public toilets over ten years of Glen Eira redevelopment. it defeats the purpose if upgrading means a reduction in services to the community. It is customary acceptable and it shouldn't be!!
