Toowoomba City Council's secret bore consultants ...

... why can't they be named?

For over 2 years, Toowoomba City Council has dealt with water issues while heavily cloaked in secrecy.

You will recall the initial Water Futures National Water Commission funding application was cobbled together in separate secret backroom meetings.

Meetings to decide the amount of ratepayers' money allocated to the Yes campaign were also conducted behind closed doors.

Now it turns out that Toowoomba City Council is using secret bore consultants, with the Council refusing to name the consultants it used on the error-prone bore hole at Wetalla.

Last evening, WIN News viewers were able to watch Council employee Allan Kleinschmidt taking a bullet on TV for his bosses, claiming that testing the water quality would have been unusual - with most industry sources saying testing water quality would have been standard.

His explanation:

"We followed the advice of our consultants who are the experts" - we just can't name them.

See - WIN News - Council bungle.

Why the secrecy?

What are they hiding this time ...
