Ratepayers to Foot the Bill for Councillor Squabbling
Hawkesbury Council General Manager Liz Richardson has branded relationships between popularly elected councillors as ”fractured” and has engaged outside consultants to try and fix the situation in an email to all 12 Hawkesbury City Council (HCC) councillors.
Since the email was sent in May, there has been a public attack by Mayor Sarah McMahon on at least three councillors and she has successfully campaigned for the Liberal Party to suspend Councillor Nathan Zamprogno from the organisation where she sits on the NSW State Executive. Cr Zamprogno has branded Cr McMahon a bully and Cr McMahon has claimed Cr Zamprogno is a thief.

Mayor behind Liberal Councillor’s dumping
The NSW Division of the Liberal Party has handed long time Hawkesbury Councillor Nathan Zamprogno a three-year suspension from the party, amidst growing tension in the council.
The reason he was suspended included complaints that he would not support Liberal backed motions in favour of developers, land clearing or infrastructure that affected heritage sites – and that he did not vote for Labor’s Barry Calvert for deputy mayor.
The motion to remove Cr Zamprogno from the Liberal Party was championed by Hawkesbury Mayor Sarah McMahon, and her predecessor, Cr Patrick Conolly, according to internal Liberal Party documents.

Missing Wildlife Data Raises Concerns Over Developers and Koala Habitat
Four years worth of vital wildlife rescue data that helps to guide property development approvals, including in the Hawkesbury, is missing from a New South Wales native animal tracking database. The data gap has left hundreds of rescues of threatened endangered species, including koalas, unrecorded across the state.
WIRES, a prominent wildlife rescue group, has described this data gap as a “gift” to developers, attributing it to the long-standing under-resourcing of the BioNet database by the previous state government.
This information vacuum empowers property developers to obtain approvals for development projects based on inaccurate evidence of endangered species inhabiting the sites in question, environmental groups said.
