Just wondering how merged Councils plan to deal with transfers, newly registered deposited or strata plans etc delivered through the six Portal.

MidCoast Council is made up of 3 former Council’s and we will be operating 3 different systems for at least the next year, probably longer, and would prefer to continue to receive our transfers etc separately. We have been told that the LPI will commence supplying a single file under my documents for example of transfers for all 3 prior Councils to the new Council being MidCoast Council.

This will be extremely time consuming for each former Council to sort through & process only documents relating to them until we are on the same system. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hi Lee,
We were just talking about this a minute ago (also in relation to DP downloads, etc).
All we are going to do is make sure that the information downloaded by one officer is distributed to the other Council office, with each Council office then responsible for processing the information relevant to their former-Council area. It’s not a great solution, but I think it will have to do in the short term.

Thanks Susan, We are going to prepare a letter to LPI setting out our concerns re the extra work & danger of missing transfers.
On another matter are we preparing to send out letters advising people paying by direct debits of the name change but are we supposed to send out new Pensioner Concession claim forms as well?
