Three of the four officially declared Blue Mountains hopefuls have confirmed their attendance at the Blue Mountains Union Council (BMUC's) meet the candidates forum next week.
Labor candidate Trish Doyle, Independent Janet Mays and Kerrin O'Grady of the Greens we confirmed their attendance at the March 12 event.
Liberal candidate Roza Sage as yet to confirm, however BMUC president Kerry Cooke said he was hopeful she would still turn up.
"We were disappointed that only two of the three key candidates in the lead up to the federal election [in August last year] agreed to attend the forum, and we hope the Liberal state candidate, Roza Sage, makes herself available to questioning from the engaged Upper Mountains community," he said in a statement.
"The forum is still a couple of weeks away, so there is plenty of time for the Liberal candidate to agree to attend."
A chair would be set aside for Mrs Sage at the event, Mr Cooke said. -
A comment on the issue had not been received from Mrs Sage's campaign team at the time of going to press.
The public is welcome to attend the event, which takes place from 2.3Opm at Katoomba's Family Hotel. For more information, log onto www.bmucinc.com or contact Debra Smith on 4787-1401.
