Parramatta. Joint approach pays off

In the last 3 months approximately $30,000 in fines has been issued against sex premises for breaches, together with orders demanding conformity with various consents, said Woodville Independent councillor, Paul Garrard. He said probably 50 sex premises existed within the LGA. “In recent times there has been a proliferation of oriental and therapeutic massage and treatment establishments in areas like Clyde, Granville and Toongabbie, providing sex services,” he said. Other local government entities are interested in council’s joint agency approach with Police, Customs, Immigration and Centrelink, he said.
