Just days after Marion Council voted to leave South Australia’s Local Government Association (LGA), a second Adelaide council might go it alone.

In a move last week dubbed ‘Mexit’, the Marion Council voted to leave the LGA and not pay its $93,000 membership fee for 2016-17.

Now, Salisbury Council is preparing to vote on whether to leave the LGA, which bills itself as the “voice of Local Government in South Australia”.

Salisbury councillor Brad Vermeer does not believe the LGA is doing a good job.

Mr Vermeer labelled the association a “bloated bureaucratic gravy train”, and said he hoped that other councils in Adelaide’s northern suburbs would follow their lead.

“I think it’s a total waste of space and ratepayers’ money that could be used elsewhere, not going towards the salaries of overpaid bureaucrats,” Mr Vermeer told reporters.

“Marion has led the way, and if we do the same I think Port Adelaide Enfield, Playford and Tea Tree Gully will follow.”

But the vote is far from a done deal, with Salisbury Mayor Gillian Aldridge arguing that it would be better to push for northern suburbs representation on the LGA board.

Ms Aldridge is reportedly in discussion with the LGA.
