ABOUT $24,000 of Perth ratepayers’ hard-earned is set to be spent sending city councillor James Limnios and infrastructure director Doug Forster to a Copenhagen summit.
The money covers business class flights, accommodation, and “appropriate travel expenses”.
They’re heading to Denmark in May to attend the International Cleantech Network summit, provided the PCC’s submission on redeveloping west Northbridge is accepted. The summit includes themes like creating a liveable city, intelligent water management and “optimising urban mobility”.
Perth is the only Australian council planning to send delegates and Perth staff say showing up “adds further to the City of Perth’s prominence in terms of international alliances”.
