Petition to Council or a Committee submission

A petition is a request for action. Any elector or group of electors may petition the council to take action. However, the subject of a petition must be a matter on which the council has the power to act. An elector is a person who owns or occupies rateable property within the City of Perth and is eligible to vote in local and state elections.
