The main hurdle is when the existing council decides to fill elected member vacancies themselves with members of their own choice, without putting them out to election. This is in addition to their ability to co-opt members of their own choosing (I don't believe these co-opted positions are advertised). In 2014 there are 6 (out of 9) elected positions vacant, but the council are only allowing 3 of them to be filled by election. Precious little consumer choice there.
