A “STAY IN STIRLING” public rally will be held at Astor Theatre, Mt Lawley at 7pm on August 28.
Theatre owner Bruno Zimmermann has agreed to provide the venue free of charge.
The rally will protest the Barnett government’s decision to move Mt Lawley from Stirling into a new Bayswater-Bassendean super council.
Paul Collins, president of the Yokine Liberal branch, is spearheading the campaign to stop the break-up of Stirling.
“We need everyone from Mt Lawley, Menora, Inglewood and Dianella who want to stay in Stirling to come along,” says the former Stirling city councillor.
“If there is to be any change to the boundaries for these suburbs then it should be democratic as the current law allows rather than dictated by the Barnett Government.”
The rally will include speeches, the creation of a petition opposing the merger, and debates when the floor is opened up to the public.
Mr Collins is a member of the Mount Lawley Society, which will chair the rally.
