00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.376
mover

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.536
councelor Nadin councelor O'Neil all in

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.016
favor carried unanimously any

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.976
declarations Mr. CEO

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.816
today's public forum we received

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.775
deputation on item 9.2 from Mr. Michael

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:32.536
Patton speaking against the staff

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.016
recommendation. There are no petitions.

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.496
Merilman, I've just got a verbal mel

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:39.816
minute. I'd like to congratulate our

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.735
Olympic winter gold medalist Cooper

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:44.696
Woods who arrives home tomorrow into Pambula

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:47.656
Beach and of course a function on Friday

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.496
for him acknowledging him. I want to

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:51.095
acknowledge Cooper on his achievements,

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:52.936
his success at the Winter Olympics. As

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:54.375
far as I know, he's the first Olympic

00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:56.616
gold medalist from the Bega Valley. I

00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.375
don't know of any others there could

00:01:58.399 --> 00:01:59.976
have been some before my time but I

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.976
 don't know of any others. So it's

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.256
quite an achievement for a young boy

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.176
from Pambula going to school in Pambula

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.735
and moving up and the community I think

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:09.575
will express to both tomorrow at the

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.736
airport and also on Friday afternoon how

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:13.816
proud they are of Cooper and his family

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.816
 his family have used to own a

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.575
business at Pambula Beach and are really

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.256
well known in the community and so are

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.176
his three brothers as well and loved by

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:22.855
everyone. So we look forward to that.

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:24.776
So, congratulations to Cooper and his

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.536
family on all the achievements and also

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.056
the Australian Olympic team on the

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.496
outstanding achievements in the Winter

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.816
Olympics.

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.840
Thanks there's no urgent business

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:36.776
staff reports, community environment and

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.800
planning councils 8.1. I just have I'm

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.136
happy to move the recommendation, but I

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:44.295
have a point three to add if everyone's

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.136
in agreements. See if I get a second.

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:48.295
Yeah. Point three is that council staff

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.976
provide a report reviewing the need for

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.575
the continuation of the affordable

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.896
housing group councils. As we go along,

00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:55.336
we should be reviewing all the groups

00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.416
the staff time that's taken up on these

00:02:57.440 --> 00:02:59.336
and that's all all I'm asking there that

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.176
council pro staff provide a report

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:02.776
reviewing the need for that.

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.376
That's.3.

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.400
So, councelor O'Neil second it wish to

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:11.495
speak against or for it.

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:14.056
I want to speak for it council now.

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.696
 I just wanted to make the point that

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:18.696
this group has actually contributed to

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:20.696
this new stage they're going in and of

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:21.976
course we should review it at this

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.000
stage. We are now I think 3 years in on

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.976
a pretty big project and it is and so

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.336
much has changed. It's time for a

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.360
review. The changes in the KPIs

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.256
actually allow us to track change as

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.656
they go along. They're online. They're

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.656
dynamic. And that is something that's

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.016
never happened before where we have to

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:43.336
bring in consultants to review and go

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.495
back to the basics each time. They're

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:47.495
not perfect. There are things we are not

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:49.736
tracking here that we should be. But at

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:51.495
least it's a practical approach forward.

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:53.575
And from my point of view, the more we

00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.736
can do to actually put pressure for the

00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:57.736
change where it's needed. Don't spend

00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:00.056
time on the stuff we can't change is all

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.696
to the good can I just also pick up

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:04.935
on a couple of things in the report? We

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:06.696
are nowhere near our targets of extra

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:08.935
housing yet, but there are a couple of

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:10.855
good things that have happened. Look at

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.935
the number of permanent spaces and

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:15.495
caravan parks in this report along. That

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:18.055
is a good change that will help people.

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.775
And also, if you look at the um KPIs, we

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:22.376
are now tracking for instance the social

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:25.256
justice advocates, emergency housing and

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:26.696
stuff that's happening with some of our

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.376
other people on the group as they are

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:30.455
now. That's a step forward.

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:33.256
Thanks, Councilor O'Neil. Speaker against council.

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:36.280
Councelor Daly. question I  agree. I

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.256
think this is a good time to to have

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:41.576
this review, but in just changing the

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.536
focus on the KPIs, moving from I think

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.776
eight sort of fairly discreet KPIs

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.615
through you, Mr. Mayor. I just wanted to

00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.639
know  from the director how we are

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:54.615
sort of what we're continuing on there

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.216
because you know we do have this data

00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.856
and this evidence and when be wary that

00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:00.536
we're not going to just you know throw

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.296
that out and start completely from

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:05.320
scratch just to understand how the the

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:08.440
ID platform um has been  amended to

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:11.416
help us to track these new KPIs and how

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:12.936
we're going to continue with the data

00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:15.096
we've already  sort of collected and

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.856
if that will continue to be collected in

00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:19.880
the new set of KPIs.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.936
Thank you, Mr. Mayor so you will

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:25.175
see that there's some of the KPIs that

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.816
were in the original report  or

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:30.455
strategy have been carried over into the

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:32.536
new KPI report. Things like the number

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.560
of  housing provided by community

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.056
housing providers by homes New South

00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:41.080
Wales  and the change in that over

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.360
time is will be tracked. There were also

00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:46.136
a number of KPIs around the number of

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.536
affordable houses available to very low

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.615
and low-inccome renters and low-inccome

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.536
purchases through the market. We are

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.615
keeping those in the new report

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.536
really what the new report does as well

00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.496
as keeping a number of the ones

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:01.656
previously. It expands what we're

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.175
looking at more broadly so we can get a

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:04.696
much broader picture of the housing

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.720
situation in our Shire we worked really

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:10.536
closely with profile ID who's the the

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.560
company or do ID who run the housing ID

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:16.919
platform  over probably almost 12 to

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.256
18 months and they have refined their

00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:20.856
platform and the way they present the

00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:23.880
data based on our need for information

00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.216
um which was based on the consultation

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.496
we had with the affordable housing

00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:30.520
implementation group. So  that the

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.136
housing ID platform now what's being

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.295
shared publicly has been influenced by

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:35.656
the work that we've done with housing

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.096
ID. They are still looking at further

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.416
improvements but because of the

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:41.015
changes made we can now more readily

00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:43.256
report on that data provided in a format

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:45.895
that's easily digestible and also

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:47.976
reduces risk of human error in terms of

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.295
transcribing data from one you know

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.856
platform to another the data on housing

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:55.656
ID does drill down further  which

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.976
anyone can do that is a public 

00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.136
website so anyone can drill down into

00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.136
any any part that they're interested in

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.056
but hopefully the new KPIs provide a

00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:07.015
broader understanding or broader picture

00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:10.039
of of what housing looks like in Asha

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.615
one  further question one further

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.936
question um it's been discussed in the

00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:17.256
past  why we don't set targets for

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:19.735
some of those KPIs  and I know partly

00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.336
it's because there are issues there are

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.360
outside of our control but in terms

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.015
of the new KPIs, is that something that

00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:29.336
um staff would be willing to revisit via

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.175
the affordable housing implementation

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.199
group?

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.759
Through you, Mr. Mayor it's  a

00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.735
relatively complex question. A lot of

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.696
what we're tracking through the new KPIs

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.015
are things that council can potentially

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:49.735
influence but doesn't control. So, as

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.759
far as council setting a target, it's a

00:07:52.960 --> 00:07:54.615
very hard thing to do because we can't

00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.216
control whether that target is met or

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.615
not. The other point that I'd make is a

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.639
lot of these um KPIs are

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.256
it takes a significant amount of time to

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:07.015
see change. So when we're talking about

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:08.855
new dwellings being approved or new

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.096
dwellings being built, um it might be

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.656
that we see in this report zero for a

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.136
number of reports and then so for

00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.656
example when the homes New South Wales

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.680
 TA redevelopment is built or or gets

00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:22.536
to sales stage

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.615
that'll increase by I'm going to get the

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.496
number wrong 24 I think homes in one in

00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:30.216
one hit and then it might be zero for a

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.175
while. There's a lot of work that goes

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.815
on in the background to to see these

00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:36.616
before we see them result in a stat. So

00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:39.640
they don't quite provide a full picture.

00:08:39.760 --> 00:08:42.375
Mr. May, I just want to add to that the

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.296
the work on the KPIs that we're talking

00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:45.736
about that we've now got through housing

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:48.136
ID. They don't come free to council. We

00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:49.976
are paying license fees to have systems

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.935
in place to be able to track data. So,

00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:54.536
just want to make that point that when

00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:57.416
we do come back, um if the the I don't

00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.336
know if the motion's actually been voted

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.416
on yet, but if we do come back, we will

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.656
talk about the resources already going

00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:05.576
into some of this work and and where

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.656
best to utilize resources. What I'm

00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:09.096
alluding to here is every time we start

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.056
adding another thing to measure, track,

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.456
set as a target, it's more resource that

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.216
takes us away from other things that

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.096
council's got in its adopted priorities.

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.616
Thanks,

00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:21.896
Council. you.

00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:23.736
Um yeah, just in support of your motion

00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:26.056
three, mayor. Um and just a general

00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.375
discussion about the housing strategy

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.976
implementation group and new and new

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.216
KPIs. There's an element of us measuring

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.296
how far the water is above our head and

00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.896
once it's once it's over your head, it

00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:38.296
really doesn't matter that much. Um and

00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:39.656
I think we should acknowledge here that

00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:41.255
there's a limit what this local council

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.776
can do without state government and

00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:44.856
federal government support. We need the

00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:46.456
federal government to come behind us. we

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.976
need the state government to support us

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.176
if we're going to do something about

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.736
housing in our SH. So I want to make

00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:54.760
that point. Um and um I think while this

00:09:56.560 --> 00:09:58.696
um review needs to happen while all of

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.720
our um um um strategy should be reviewed

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:04.456
um it's important even if it's not that

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.056
as effective as we would hope it's

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:07.176
important that we're in that space

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.815
having the conversation.

00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:12.839
Thanks C. Put motion. All those in favor

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:16.760
carried unanimously. Item 8.2 for noting

00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:18.456
council on the subdivision of land that

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.480
approves council ner

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.536
I have a question sorry

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:24.055
council porting a question

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:26.696
um a question for the CEO which is

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.696
really on a a procedural matter rather

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.495
than the issue um if you could just

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.519
explain this matter was brought up for a

00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.720
decision at council um council the

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.216
situation with that is that council has

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.240
deferred it um and then while that's on

00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.656
deferral. Staff have just decided to

00:10:47.680 --> 00:10:50.680
make that decision themselves.

00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:54.040
Um, shouldn't this be coming back to

00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:57.160
council as a recommendation for

00:10:59.680 --> 00:11:02.680
um a recommendation for approval rather

00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:04.935
than for a noting because the matter has

00:11:04.959 --> 00:11:06.296
already been put in the hands of

00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.856
council.

00:11:08.880 --> 00:11:10.536
So through Mr. May you recall this is

00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:11.976
something we have recently discussed

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.736
with councils on how best to approach

00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:16.760
this and the options were um hold off on

00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:20.760
approving a DA and council when they so

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:23.896
originally to go back originally um

00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:26.055
staff had been in a position where with

00:11:26.079 --> 00:11:27.976
the propoNadint we were not willing to

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.000
approve what they had in front of us. So

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.776
it would have been a recommendation to

00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:34.456
refuse. Council deferred that wanted a

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:35.976
site meeting to understand the issues

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.296
and see whether they could be resolved.

00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.976
After that significant work happened

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.495
with staff and the propoNadints in the

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.736
background. They made changes that meant

00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:46.136
we were then able to approve it. And

00:11:46.160 --> 00:11:47.976
through the discussion with council was

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.616
do we just wait on the decision you

00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:52.696
wanted to try and get to in the end or

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.296
not and do what we did and then bring it

00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.136
back publicly for noting that we're

00:11:56.160 --> 00:11:59.016
closing the loop on what you'd intended

00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:00.776
in the first place. get the director to

00:12:00.800 --> 00:12:02.216
decide too. I

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:03.896
was just going to add to that. So the

00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:05.416
reason it came to council in the first

00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.440
instance was because in our um policy or

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.255
procedure we say that refusals are dealt

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.336
with by the elected council. So staff

00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.416
have delegation for approvals and there

00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:16.615
are some exceptions to that when it's

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.375
over a certain number of submissions if

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.176
it's a refusal. Um so that's why it came

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.776
in the first instance because we could

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:24.216
then resolve it and the decision to

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.136
defer was to allow it was at the request

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:28.136
of the applicant so that they could

00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:31.096
revise their their submission that was

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.096
done decision to approve staff have

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.495
delegation but we wanted to um close the

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.576
loop with counselor so you knew where it

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.656
had ended.

00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:41.736
Thank you councelor Nadin council moved

00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:43.976
and seconded all those in favor carried

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.736
unanimously.

00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:47.416
Staff reports infrastructure requests

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.440
for tenders item 9.1

00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:51.416
second.

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:53.416
So moving point one that council accepts

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:54.935
recommendation as outlined in the

00:12:54.959 --> 00:12:57.255
attached confidential MIMO. Council

00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.279
Allen all council Allen council Nadin

00:13:00.959 --> 00:13:03.656
all those in favor

00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:05.896
unanimously.

00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:08.296
Items 2, three, and four. Then

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.375
I'm G. That's where I'm up to. Council N

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.696
if you wait. We just passed a We just

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.856
passed re the motion to accept a

00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:17.880
confidential memo.

00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.296
People would just get into tomorrow.

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.320
Right. All right.

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.615
Same council. I guess the council

00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.615
accepts the tender of AW Dummit provide

00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.055
limit in relation to contract for the

00:13:30.079 --> 00:13:33.079
works described in RFT2425-129

00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:35.656
disaster recovery funding arrangements

00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:37.815
creating works at various sites across

00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:39.176
around the Bea Valley SH in the amount

00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.495

00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:45.495
provisions that the authority be

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.255
delegated the CA to execute all

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.576
necessary documents and all tenders be

00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.375
advised. Councelor Allen, councelor Nadin.

00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.399
All those in favor carried unanimously.

00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:59.560
Item 9.2 Mim Airport toilet block. Miss

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.375
I have a Mr. Mayor I have an alternate

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.976
motion that should be on teams.

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.896
Just two seconds. Mr. L. Yeah, we had a

00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.096
deputation today. Is there anything

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:08.296
you'd like to address from that

00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.696
deputation?

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.720
, no, Mr. Mayor.

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.480
Not on teams either.

00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:27.736
That's a question on

00:14:27.760 --> 00:14:30.760
it's not

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:41.896
a test.

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:44.216
It's not clear. Guess it was that was

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:47.240
No, I I changed it.

00:14:55.839 --> 00:14:57.336
I'll have to just make it up as I go

00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.360
along.

00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.120
Email us.

00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:16.680
That's a great That was a great job.

00:15:35.040 --> 00:15:38.040
You professional

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:46.935
Can you email it to me? I'll email it to

00:15:46.959 --> 00:15:49.255
him. So, when I emailed it, it said it

00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.416
was sending it on an account that's not

00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.976
even on this device. I just don't know

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.856
why.

00:15:56.880 --> 00:15:57.255
No,

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.336
no, that was Maybe you could copy it and

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.896
text it to yourself and then

00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:03.495
No, I can't find it.

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.055
I don't have it written because I think

00:16:06.079 --> 00:16:09.079
it sent it through an email that I

00:16:10.800 --> 00:16:12.136
That's our eyes in the clouds.

00:16:12.160 --> 00:16:15.160
It's in the clouds.

00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:27.255
I go.

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:28.615
Sorry, David. David, you want to hit

00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:30.136
your microphone?

00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:33.016
I'll just have to um try and remember it

00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:36.040
as I did. So it was um the council

00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.320
delegate the CEO to negotiate with the

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.440
future GA fuel provider for them to host

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.759
a airside toilet facility in the GA

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.576
area.

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.296
Number two, note that the above

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:57.320
negotiations would include

00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.399
the cost of construction and maintenance

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.055
of the facility and how it would be

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.696
managed.

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.720
Number three,

00:17:09.760 --> 00:17:12.696
that should those negotiations be

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:14.535
unsuccessful

00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.559
that the CEO is

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.535
delegated to

00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.559
have those conversations with any other

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:25.655
GA

00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:27.736
um lees

00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:30.760
to the location of an airside toilet

00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.616
in

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.640
line with the hangers to ensure its

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.856
compliance with airport safety

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.880
regulations.

00:17:45.919 --> 00:17:48.919
Councor Councelor Nadin

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.775
any questions council council daily?

00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.096
Yeah, just just on the intent of this

00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:03.736
council porter. So the first step is to

00:18:03.760 --> 00:18:06.296
negotiate with the fuel provider. Let's

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:08.456
say that's unsuccessful. The second step

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.015
would be to negotiate with a different

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.015
lease holder. Let's say that's also

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.895
unsuccessful. So where where do we end

00:18:15.919 --> 00:18:18.919
up with at after that if if we're if no

00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:23.496
one really wants to host a toilet in or

00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:25.895
nearby their hangup? Is it that it's a

00:18:25.919 --> 00:18:28.216
do nothing approach or is it that you

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.056
would accept that we would expect it

00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:33.015
have to go landside

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.736
if no one is willing to or back to us

00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:38.056
for for determination?

00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:40.056
Well, as we have a motion already to

00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:43.080
build an airside um toilet. This motion

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.576
lays out the process of attempting to

00:18:47.600 --> 00:18:49.416
get that done and if that was

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:51.096
unsuccessful then it would have to come

00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:52.936
back to council.

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.496
So sorry, noting that the motion isn't

00:18:55.520 --> 00:18:58.376
to build an airside toilet in here. The

00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.176
staff recommendation is for a the

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.336
preferred approach is for a landside

00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:06.360
toilet. So just I'm just confirming the

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.039
the intent here. So that if no one was

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.736
willing to host it, it would come back

00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:13.655
for us to determination. That's the

00:19:13.679 --> 00:19:15.416
short short story.

00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.136
Correct.

00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:19.336
Yeah, I have some too.

00:19:19.360 --> 00:19:22.360
Um which is just a table. So um

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.960
that  we do say the you fuel supplier

00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:27.015
and that's fine. That's probably

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.039
specific enough. But Mr. CEO, would you

00:19:30.320 --> 00:19:33.320
prefer lot 11 to speak?

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.400
No, I mean lot Yeah.

00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:40.056
M the reason for well not crims the

00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:41.416
reason for the look on my face was

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.440
actually my understanding was you were

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.856
specifically seeing the fuel provider

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.696
irrespective of where they were as the

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.136
number one priority because that is the

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.816
destination that people are most likely

00:19:51.840 --> 00:19:53.655
to utilize.

00:19:53.679 --> 00:19:55.816
So so yeah so I'm I'm comfortable with

00:19:55.840 --> 00:19:58.840
the the wording of this so that

00:19:59.280 --> 00:20:01.496
yeah and and yeah just through Mr. May

00:20:01.520 --> 00:20:03.096
just to clarify from a staff perspective

00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:04.775
that discussion that happened before it

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.416
is very clear to me that um we've got do

00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:09.015
step one if that doesn't work do step

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:10.296
two and if that doesn't work we're

00:20:10.320 --> 00:20:13.256
coming back to council.

00:20:13.280 --> 00:20:15.176
My question is just for the director in

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.895
the budget estimate there of 65,000 and

00:20:17.919 --> 00:20:20.216
there's 272,000 we have other work on

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.816
the general aviation precinct still be

00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:23.176
done. Is there sufficient funds to

00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:24.856
ensure all work that's intended for the

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.856
general aviation precinct can still be

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.696
done?

00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:30.616
Mr. May. Yeah, there are some additional

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.640
works from Greing that are current under

00:20:34.159 --> 00:20:36.535
the plan. These include the earth works

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.296
and retaining.

00:20:38.320 --> 00:20:41.320
Sorry,

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:44.056
yeah. So, these include um earthworks

00:20:44.080 --> 00:20:46.216
and retaining structure at the at the

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.240
northern end and also security gates. Um

00:20:49.919 --> 00:20:51.256
we do believe that there's enough budget

00:20:51.280 --> 00:20:54.280
remaining to to complete those works.

00:20:55.919 --> 00:20:58.919
Um through you, Mr. Mayor. So if we're

00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:00.936
to the what's highlighted in the

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.176
business paper is is different aspects

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.816
of the risk around an airside toilet and

00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:08.216
that's really clearly um articulated

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.240
through um the legislation that's um

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:14.056
that we have there and the manual of

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:17.080
standards. I guess my question

00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:18.856
is this a question?

00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.856
He's asking a question. He's asking a

00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:21.096
question.

00:21:21.120 --> 00:21:23.416
A question. Yeah. Give him one just a

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:25.736
moment. Councelor Porter. Um the

00:21:25.760 --> 00:21:28.760
question is do we feel that having a

00:21:29.520 --> 00:21:32.520
toilet vested in one of the hangers

00:21:33.679 --> 00:21:36.056
you know it's airside and those risks do

00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:38.216
we feel that they would be mitigated

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:40.535
sufficiently having it rather than a

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.616
standalone building if it's vested in

00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.376
one of those hangers wouldn't some of

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:47.400
those risks still be present

00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:49.015
through Mr. To me the answer is yes.

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:50.936
There would still be some risk present.

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:53.960
The the thing to keep in mind is um you

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.496
can do a risk assessment on different

00:21:55.520 --> 00:21:58.296
options there and depending on which

00:21:58.320 --> 00:22:00.296
risk related criteria you give weight to

00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:01.576
over another you might get a different

00:22:01.600 --> 00:22:03.895
answer as to what makes sense. So if

00:22:03.919 --> 00:22:06.696
this is the direction council is um

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:09.655
asking staff to take as part of

00:22:09.679 --> 00:22:11.336
negotiation processes, we'll be doing

00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:12.856
whatever we can to mitigate what we

00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:14.376
consider to be the biggest risk with

00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.936
that option like we would have had it

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.960
have been a um landside option because

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:21.976
neither of them realistically neither of

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.816
them are a perfect solution but they are

00:22:23.840 --> 00:22:24.936
better than what the original

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:26.775
alternative was which was get every

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:28.775
hanger to build their own toilet

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.576
facility. So we moved on to a better

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:33.496
outcome now just mitigating risks with

00:22:33.520 --> 00:22:36.456
either option. So to to your key point

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.480
and concerns about the the impact

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.096
related to obstacle limitation surveys,

00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:45.976
that is definitely a manageable risk

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.456
with in particular having it located

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.480
within a site rather than on the um

00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:54.616
taxiway side of any of the sites, which

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.296
was what we'd originally hope could be

00:22:56.320 --> 00:22:58.056
achievable, but it's a slightly higher

00:22:58.080 --> 00:22:59.895
risk again from a safety perspective

00:22:59.919 --> 00:23:02.919
than within one of the sites.

00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:06.600
Um just a follow on question to that to

00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:09.640
that one. Um as there is an airside

00:23:09.840 --> 00:23:11.736
toilet at the current fueling facility,

00:23:11.760 --> 00:23:14.696
how many risk events have occurred in

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.456
the last 20 years with having that

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.480
toilet airside  next to the current

00:23:19.679 --> 00:23:22.616
fuel facility?

00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.176
Sorry, Mr. Mayor. Don't know what you

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:26.856
mean by a risk event. I assume you mean

00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:29.416
an incident that um is related to

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.976
unmitigated risks. I'm not aware of any.

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:33.176
That doesn't mean there may not have

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.736
been some in the past. What I'd also say

00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:37.576
to that though is that the risk profile

00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:39.256
associated with that toilet in that

00:23:39.280 --> 00:23:41.336
location with the current use is

00:23:41.360 --> 00:23:42.616
different to what we're facing here. So

00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.256
they're not the same risk, but

00:23:45.280 --> 00:23:46.696
acknowledging the point you're trying to

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:49.176
make here is that we've had an example

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.655
of having a toilet on the airside in the

00:23:51.679 --> 00:23:54.376
past near a fuel facility and it hasn't

00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:56.856
created lots of unmanageable

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:59.496
risk. Yes.

00:23:59.520 --> 00:24:00.775
you have a support of your motion. You

00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.936
should speak to it.

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:05.655
Thank you. Um

00:24:05.679 --> 00:24:07.096
I I was a little bit disappointed

00:24:07.120 --> 00:24:08.535
actually with the way this has been

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.416
presented in the in the business paper.

00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.440
Um, I think putting this item up without

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:19.400
the diagrams showing what or the

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:23.720
location that the um item was talking

00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:27.496
about or that the text from the staff

00:24:27.520 --> 00:24:29.976
was talking about in the business paper

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.000
was really um not explaining the

00:24:33.520 --> 00:24:36.520
position very well at all. Um and for

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:39.816
anybody on the live stream or listening

00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:42.456
outside, the um the diagram that council

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.480
has received showed a selfstanding

00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:49.400
toilet block out from the hangers

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.400
basically on the edge of the taxi way.

00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:56.600
Um, which I mean nobody nobody I've

00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:01.096
spoken to could fathom why you would put

00:25:01.120 --> 00:25:03.336
a self-standing toilet block stuck out

00:25:03.360 --> 00:25:05.655
near where the planes are moving around.

00:25:05.679 --> 00:25:08.679
It made no sense. So to produce a

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.056
diagram that has a self-standing toilet

00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:13.895
right out near the taxi way and then

00:25:13.919 --> 00:25:15.895
say, "Oh, we've got to worry about Iowa.

00:25:15.919 --> 00:25:18.456
Oh, we've got to worry regulations and

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:20.456
everything." Honestly, I found it

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:21.976
bizarre.

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:24.616
Um the fact of the matter is that any

00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:26.936
airside toilet the where where the

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.960
difference between airside and land side

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.559
is where is a fence line and that fence

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:35.816
line also runs along the front of the

00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:38.840
hangers and any toilet facility needs to

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:42.039
be basically at that fence line. though

00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.255
it would probably be or it would most

00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.279
likely be that the the building itself

00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:51.400
would actually be on the airside side

00:25:51.919 --> 00:25:54.616
with fence either side but the opening

00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.576
to enter the toilet the opening to enter

00:25:57.600 --> 00:26:00.600
the toilet is actually airside. Now,

00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:04.535
let's be clear. This doesn't create any

00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.559
more risk than having to go to a gate to

00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:12.200
go out to landside to get to that

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:13.976
toilet. In fact, there's more risk

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.895
because then you're also crossing a road

00:26:15.919 --> 00:26:18.919
to go to a to a landside toilet. But if

00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:21.655
you've got to go somewhere from airside

00:26:21.679 --> 00:26:23.736
from the hangers, whatever, if you've

00:26:23.760 --> 00:26:25.736
got to walk over to the door that goes

00:26:25.760 --> 00:26:28.456
to the toilet or walk over to the door

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.480
to the gate to go out to landside,

00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:33.816
there's no difference in the risk. It's

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:35.816
the same.

00:26:35.840 --> 00:26:38.840
So if we just forget about the diagram

00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.616
that was provided that showed this

00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.640
toilet block built out

00:26:45.679 --> 00:26:47.895
away from the hangers towards the the

00:26:47.919 --> 00:26:49.976
airirst strip and think about how how it

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.816
would be built, how it's currently

00:26:51.840 --> 00:26:52.135
built.

00:26:52.159 --> 00:26:53.655
Council, could you speak to your motion

00:26:53.679 --> 00:26:55.015
because your motion is totally different

00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:56.775
about putting it into a fuel facility.

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.816
So could you actually speak to

00:26:57.840 --> 00:26:59.496
No, I I'm speaking to motion. I've got

00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:00.936
the right to talk about this because

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.255
what we've heard, what is in the paper,

00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.576
what is in the business paper is

00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:07.895
incorrect information, right? Because

00:27:07.919 --> 00:27:09.576
that's not where you would put a toilet

00:27:09.600 --> 00:27:11.176
block. It's ridiculous. That's why

00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:13.176
there's no diagrams. Why were the

00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.936
diagrams not included in the business

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.960
paper? Okay. Um,

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:21.816
so let's try and get a good result out

00:27:21.840 --> 00:27:24.376
of this. Um, and what we need, we

00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.856
already have a motion to do a an airside

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.880
toilet. Um, I've just received an email

00:27:29.919 --> 00:27:32.456
from the fuel supplier. The fuel

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.480
supplier says, "As part of our fuel

00:27:35.520 --> 00:27:38.456
depot design at Mimula Airport, we had

00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.336
originally planned to include a facility

00:27:41.360 --> 00:27:44.360
for our drivers. In principle, we are

00:27:45.600 --> 00:27:47.496
happy to incorporate an additional

00:27:47.520 --> 00:27:49.816
unisex toilet within our facility that

00:27:49.840 --> 00:27:52.376
can also serve public users. They're

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:54.056
willing. They want to have the

00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:55.576
negotiation. They want to make it

00:27:55.600 --> 00:27:57.976
happen. We don't want people arriving at

00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:59.736
the airport with their family in their

00:27:59.760 --> 00:28:01.576
plane and have kids running around all

00:28:01.600 --> 00:28:03.655
over the place. It should be near the

00:28:03.679 --> 00:28:06.296
bowsers and it should be just as easy to

00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:08.216
go to the toilet as going through a

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.240
gate. So I really hope that we could um

00:28:11.679 --> 00:28:13.736
have a sensible  resolution to this.

00:28:13.760 --> 00:28:14.535
Thank you.

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.559
Thanks. Speaker against speaker against.

00:28:18.080 --> 00:28:20.535
Right. I have a a a question. And I

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:22.456
thought we were delegating the CEO to

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.296
negotiate with the fuel provider, not

00:28:24.320 --> 00:28:26.375
delegating councel Porter to negotiate

00:28:26.399 --> 00:28:28.456
with the fuel provider.

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.535
I'll take that as a statement. Council

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.655
noted.

00:28:31.679 --> 00:28:34.375
Councelor owner speaking against.

00:28:34.399 --> 00:28:36.296
Speaker against. We're speaking against

00:28:36.320 --> 00:28:38.056
council Porter's motion.

00:28:38.080 --> 00:28:39.496
Anyone speaking against it?

00:28:39.520 --> 00:28:42.520
Yes. Um I looked at this. We've had a

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.655
lot of discussions about detail of the

00:28:47.679 --> 00:28:50.679
general aviation precinct over the last

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:53.720
what is it three years, four years.

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:56.775
Um I can't say that I am an expert on

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.799
the location of toilet facilities for

00:29:00.399 --> 00:29:02.775
people arriving in small aircraft on the

00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.576
general aviation one. So I think what

00:29:05.600 --> 00:29:07.816
I'm saying in speaking against this

00:29:07.840 --> 00:29:10.840
motion is that

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.056
I would hope in future discussions about

00:29:14.080 --> 00:29:16.296
the major works we're embarking on at

00:29:16.320 --> 00:29:18.936
the airport to extend the runway that

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:21.416
there will be

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.496
um what is the right word not respect

00:29:23.520 --> 00:29:26.520
but more note taken of expert advice

00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:32.375
from those who are actually qualified in

00:29:32.399 --> 00:29:34.296
airport design project management.

00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:37.015
management and implementation of plans.

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.039
I feel that we have got way off course

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:42.456
in some of this discussion by going deep

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:44.456
down into detail on the very specific

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:46.696
bits of it and not looking at our

00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:49.176
overall interest in making a go of this

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:51.015
airport so that it is not a drain on

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.416
council resources but is instead an

00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.440
asset for us in building our industry

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.696
economy and indeed in getting

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.895
speak to the notion.

00:29:59.919 --> 00:30:02.856
Yeah. Okay. I'm getting off this. Um, as

00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:04.296
and the mayor has brought my attention

00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:07.320
back to speaking against the motion. I

00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:11.320
not sure that council OS are expert on

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:14.696
the location on this. So, I don't

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.496
definitely oppose the CEO, but I just

00:30:17.520 --> 00:30:20.456
wish that it wasn't taking a council

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:22.296
resolution to get to this stage. I would

00:30:22.320 --> 00:30:23.176
prefer to deal with staff

00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:25.895
recommendations for and against.

00:30:25.919 --> 00:30:28.919
Thanks, Speaker. Yes, I have you.

00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:32.360
Um, thanks councilors. Thanks mayor. Um,

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.936
look, just quickly we I want to thank

00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.255
the mayor for um I want to thank Michael

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.336
for coming in for the forum today. Um, I

00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:41.015
think a lot of councilors had a bit of a

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.039
think about um what the toilet was for

00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:46.696
and and how it works and how it would

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.655
work. I think the mayor asked a very

00:30:49.679 --> 00:30:51.655
pertiNadint question during that forum.

00:30:51.679 --> 00:30:53.816
This is this is dem this is democracy at

00:30:53.840 --> 00:30:55.176
work. This is consultation. This is how

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.496
it works. the bureaucracy have done

00:30:57.520 --> 00:30:59.255
their work. They they presented the

00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:01.416
papers. There is I don't have a problem

00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:03.096
with the work that the council was the

00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:04.616
council staff have done. I think they

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:05.816
have done their work. We had a

00:31:05.840 --> 00:31:07.655
consultation process. We had a forum.

00:31:07.679 --> 00:31:09.655
Out of that forum there was there was

00:31:09.679 --> 00:31:11.496
another suggestion, another way through.

00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:13.576
That's why I'm urging councilors to vote

00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:15.895
for the um council porter's motion. Not

00:31:15.919 --> 00:31:17.816
as any sort of denigration of the staff,

00:31:17.840 --> 00:31:19.976
but just as a way to progress this. It

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.976
puts it inside the it put it in inside

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.576
the the envelope of the existing

00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:25.976
buildings. It just makes sense.

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:28.135
Speaker against

00:31:28.159 --> 00:31:29.176
Council Porter. Are you all right to

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:30.375
reply?

00:31:30.399 --> 00:31:31.576
Yes. I just want to make it clear there

00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:33.336
was no denigration of staff or anything.

00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:34.936
I was simply saying that I was

00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:37.495
disappointed that that diagram that

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:39.736
showed where what the proposal was

00:31:39.760 --> 00:31:41.576
wasn't in the business paper. That was

00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:43.816
the only thing that I was  um

00:31:43.840 --> 00:31:45.336
concerned about. So just to make that

00:31:45.360 --> 00:31:46.856
clear, I'm not saying the staff have

00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:49.655
done anything wrong. But the PE the we

00:31:49.679 --> 00:31:50.775
should have been able to seen that

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:53.336
diagram. So in saying that um thank you

00:31:53.360 --> 00:31:54.856
very much for everyone for their their

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:56.135
input.

00:31:56.159 --> 00:31:59.159

00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:20.216
forum now.

00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.936
Hope it's a good forum.

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:24.456
We have all the recommendations

00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.336
councilors regard to Anzac Day services

00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:30.360
right across um the region. the Kabago

Street, Eden. So councilors, any

00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.736
questions about any of those councilors,

00:33:45.760 --> 00:33:47.736
could I just  you got a quick

00:33:47.760 --> 00:33:49.015
question? Yep. Then I've got one too

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:49.976
after you.

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.296
Thanks, Mr. Mayor. Um but just on the

00:33:52.320 --> 00:33:54.856
Anzac Day marches, we were here 12

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:56.296
months ago and you'd made some comments

00:33:56.320 --> 00:33:58.775
on um trying to make the process a

00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:00.856
little bit easier for those trying to

00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:03.880
organize um you know road closures and

00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:05.655
everything else and and obviously from

00:34:05.679 --> 00:34:08.296
the papers it's it's a very thorough and

00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.135
 detailed

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:12.456
reporting requirements. Um has any was

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.176
anything done to make that  slightly

00:34:15.200 --> 00:34:17.416
more straightforward process in the past

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:20.440
12 12 months leading up to um the local

00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.536
traffic forum where we have all these

00:34:22.560 --> 00:34:24.216
recommendations being put?

00:34:24.240 --> 00:34:26.936
Mr. CEO, you want to answer that or

00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.960
Yeah,

00:34:30.240 --> 00:34:32.216
through M I'll partially um answer it

00:34:32.240 --> 00:34:33.655
the best I can from a council

00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:36.679
perspective. So, we have had ongoing um

00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.599
concerns raised by the RSL around the

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.016
continuingly increasing requirements to

00:34:45.040 --> 00:34:47.575
manage safety at Anzac Day events. That

00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:50.055
isn't something that we have um had

00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.536
control over. It's been very much driven

00:34:52.560 --> 00:34:55.095
by changes to transport requirements for

00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:56.855
safety. The reason for it, by the way,

00:34:56.879 --> 00:34:58.776
is that

00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.176
in recent years and more frequently,

00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:03.496
there has been events of all kinds held

00:35:03.520 --> 00:35:05.416
in the public domain where incidents

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.575
have happened where vehicles have

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.136
essentially collided with members of the

00:35:10.160 --> 00:35:11.496
public. So, that's why the rules have

00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:13.176
got tighter.

00:35:13.200 --> 00:35:14.776
At different points, council has

00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.800
provided more support in the past. That

00:35:17.839 --> 00:35:20.839
comes at a a cost. council um at a point

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:22.936
in time made the decision to say we are

00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:24.776
limited in how much resourcing we can

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:26.776
provide as the resource requirements got

00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:27.976
greater and greater and greater as

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.296
regulations change

00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.320
 to the point where we we did arrange

00:35:34.240 --> 00:35:36.376
for some training for volunteers to be

00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:38.216
able to then be able to put out road

00:35:38.240 --> 00:35:39.976
signage and do traffic plans. We went

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.095
through a period where we did some

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:43.095
traffic planning.

00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:45.176
Then the RSLs weren't happy with what

00:35:45.200 --> 00:35:46.696
was required out the other end saying it

00:35:46.720 --> 00:35:48.055
was too much work to then implement

00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:50.616
them. And then our our train staff we

00:35:50.640 --> 00:35:51.896
we're not going to put our name to

00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:54.920
anything that is um exposing us to risk

00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:58.119
and sort of got to been doing things but

00:35:58.640 --> 00:36:00.776
it's still concerning to the RSL that

00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:03.800
it's lots of requirements and costly.

00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:06.536
Perhaps councelor he has got more about

00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:07.575
it.

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:10.599
Um yeah, I think the the traffic forum

00:36:10.640 --> 00:36:12.856
has  transport has the police and has

00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:14.936
council staff and I think all of those

00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:16.616
people are working to make this a safe

00:36:16.640 --> 00:36:18.616
event. The RSLs are dealing with one

00:36:18.640 --> 00:36:20.776
event a year. Um and then they're not

00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.376
aware of the change. They're not they're

00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:23.815
not thinking about the constant changes

00:36:23.839 --> 00:36:25.656
the way the police and transport and

00:36:25.680 --> 00:36:28.680
council staff are. So, um, as the CEO

00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:30.296
pointed out, there have been

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.696
international incidences where, um, cars

00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:34.616
have been used as weapons in parades.

00:36:34.640 --> 00:36:36.616
The RSL marches, the the Anzac Day

00:36:36.640 --> 00:36:38.616
marches are becoming are already

00:36:38.640 --> 00:36:39.416
political events. They're going to

00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:40.936
become more political events in in the

00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:42.776
environment we're in. I think it's

00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:44.296
really important that we make sure we

00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:47.176
provide a safe um, event. The other

00:36:47.200 --> 00:36:48.936
thing is when you look at when you read

00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.616
the papers that it looks quite ownorous

00:36:50.640 --> 00:36:51.976
but a lot of these are tick and flick

00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:53.815
like so a lot of these are just rolled

00:36:53.839 --> 00:36:55.736
over from the the year if they from the

00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:57.575
year before. There will be minor changes

00:36:57.599 --> 00:36:59.416
each year but the whole report gets

00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:02.376
reloded. So um unless they change their

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:04.456
March um they're essentially just

00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:06.616
lodging the same forms again with with

00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:08.376
just minor upgrades for new safety

00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:10.616
requirements.

00:37:10.640 --> 00:37:12.536
And and to be clear, I'm not advocating

00:37:12.560 --> 00:37:14.696
for lowering safety requirements. More

00:37:14.720 --> 00:37:17.256
consider concerned about what support

00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.280
has been provided by staff.

00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.055
Council Dalia,

00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.216
I was just going to ask um from memory

00:37:24.240 --> 00:37:26.296
when we discussed this last year, we

00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:28.776
also discussed about in kind behind the

00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:31.095
scenes support that our council can

00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:33.815
provide.  and an example would be use

00:37:33.839 --> 00:37:36.136
of traffic barriers,

00:37:36.160 --> 00:37:37.815
that kind of thing. is that that doesn't

00:37:37.839 --> 00:37:40.839
take up our staff's manpower. Does that

00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:42.776
does that kind of thing happen? Any any

00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:44.776
sort of inind support or behind the

00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:47.656
scenes that we can do?

00:37:47.680 --> 00:37:49.416
Tr Mr. Mayor, unless the director knows

00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.016
the answer to where we are currently at

00:37:51.040 --> 00:37:52.296
with that, I'd have to take it on

00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:55.320
notice. And

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:57.496
there we have done that in the past. I'm

00:37:57.520 --> 00:37:59.496
just not sure of whether we are still

00:37:59.520 --> 00:38:01.815
doing that now or not. as in making our

00:38:01.839 --> 00:38:04.376
signage available for the people that

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:05.976
have got trainers, volunteers to pick

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.656
up, put out and take part.

00:38:07.680 --> 00:38:08.536
Y

00:38:08.560 --> 00:38:10.696
to council medallion's question, if you

00:38:10.720 --> 00:38:13.720
go to um each of the um um Anzac Day

00:38:15.040 --> 00:38:17.176
proposals in the in the report, there's

00:38:17.200 --> 00:38:18.776
an E on each of them that the event

00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:20.296
organizer arranges the pick up and drop

00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:22.376
off of any signage used through council.

00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.055
That would suggest the council is still

00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:25.496
providing signage and I would hope

00:38:25.520 --> 00:38:28.520
barriers where necessary as well.

00:38:29.839 --> 00:38:32.839
Council Hager you wish to re move

00:38:33.839 --> 00:38:36.456
council Hager council n all those in

00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:39.480
favor carried unanimously

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:44.376
item 9.5

00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:46.776
request for tender mimula CBD traffic

00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:48.616
trials it's just the council rejects

00:38:48.640 --> 00:38:51.176
attendance received as per the decision

00:38:51.200 --> 00:38:53.016
last week councilor someone like to move

00:38:53.040 --> 00:38:55.656
that

00:38:55.680 --> 00:38:58.680
council um yeah just

00:39:00.240 --> 00:39:03.240
with this trial as well. Did we get a

00:39:03.839 --> 00:39:06.216
final figure

00:39:06.240 --> 00:39:09.240
um what the impact would have been on

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:12.296
parking in Mimula because there was a

00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:15.095
figure used in the in the proposed trial

00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:18.055
which was later um edited. Did we get a

00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:20.216
final figure for the negative

00:39:20.240 --> 00:39:22.055
through Mr. Mayor as councilors will

00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:23.656
recall what happened was you deferred

00:39:23.680 --> 00:39:25.815
this item at the last council meeting.

00:39:25.839 --> 00:39:27.575
We then held a workshop. At that

00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.376
workshop, it was clarified that staff

00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:32.296
would be going and getting more design

00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:33.976
work done that will then come back to

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:35.815
council that will then have the detail

00:39:35.839 --> 00:39:37.656
information that you've just asked in in

00:39:37.680 --> 00:39:40.616
the public domain. So, in other words,

00:39:40.640 --> 00:39:42.456
that detailed piece of work hasn't been

00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:44.055
finalized yet, but it will come to a

00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:45.416
council meeting.

00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:48.296
, that's true, but won't that be on a

00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:50.696
that'll be on an edited plan? I mean, we

00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:52.536
had a we're I just want to talk about

00:39:52.560 --> 00:39:55.176
this tender in front of us right now. In

00:39:55.200 --> 00:39:57.575
the tender, there was a body of work.

00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.216
Um, what would that body of work

00:40:00.240 --> 00:40:02.456
resulted in in terms of parking for the

00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:05.480
town of Mingilla?

00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.456
Mr. Mayor, if you um are referring to

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:10.296
what was confidential attachments

00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:12.376
previously that had the proposed traffic

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:14.776
reconfiguration arrangements, it did not

00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:16.776
detail

00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:19.335
parking changes. what it was looking at

00:40:19.359 --> 00:40:21.976
was more traffic configuration changes

00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.496
and

00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:25.815
 intersection treatments. There was an

00:40:25.839 --> 00:40:28.055
additional compoNadint associated with

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:29.976
potential changes to the CBD overall

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.216
that had more parking impacts that

00:40:32.240 --> 00:40:34.776
wasn't specific to this item. So what

00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:36.055
you're going to get back to council as

00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:37.736
we've discussed is a package that puts

00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.760
all that together which is impacts from

00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:42.696
landscaping compoNadint changes and

00:40:42.720 --> 00:40:44.616
traffic reconfiguration changes. So, the

00:40:44.640 --> 00:40:45.896
two combined.

00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.696
Um, I guess what I'm Okay, I I don't

00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:50.296
know how much more clearer I can be here

00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.136
because in the presentation cuz it

00:40:52.160 --> 00:40:54.776
wasn't in the the the traffic and

00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:56.856
parking suggestions weren't actually in

00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:59.880
the confidential document as in this you

00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:02.920
know  the the the you know roundabouts

00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.976
or parking lines or I don't know what

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.536
whatever it was that came to us in a

00:41:08.560 --> 00:41:10.536
workshop. it didn't actually come to

00:41:10.560 --> 00:41:12.856
counselors in either the public facing

00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:15.335
business paper or the closedfacing b

00:41:15.359 --> 00:41:17.896
business paper. So all I can do is

00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:20.920
reflect on the the presentation given

00:41:22.240 --> 00:41:25.240
and the presentation was -1 but I

00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:29.079
questioned that and a figure was thrown

00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:30.696
up but I was just trying to get

00:41:30.720 --> 00:41:33.335
clarification on how what the projection

00:41:33.359 --> 00:41:36.359
was on the impact on parking in Mingula.

00:41:36.560 --> 00:41:38.295
You said you said somewhere around I

00:41:38.319 --> 00:41:40.536
counted 52 but I'm just wondering if we

00:41:40.560 --> 00:41:41.896
had a final figure. I don't know what

00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:44.920
your

00:41:45.839 --> 00:41:47.815
miss might be able to just um shed some

00:41:47.839 --> 00:41:49.095
light on that. There were two

00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:50.456
methodologies that were used to

00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:52.856
calculate the loss of parking. The 11

00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.736
that you that you suggest was I guess a

00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:58.136
shifting of formalized parking.  when

00:41:58.160 --> 00:41:59.656
staff actually went back and had a look

00:41:59.680 --> 00:42:01.656
at the informal informal parking and

00:42:01.680 --> 00:42:03.736
included that in it was in the vicinity

00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:06.216
of around 35 to 40 that we that we

00:42:06.240 --> 00:42:08.456
counted  would have been lost as a

00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:11.016
result of that um that proposal. So

00:42:11.040 --> 00:42:13.256
that's where we sort of landed as the

00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:15.416
CEO points out though um it will be

00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:17.335
irrelevant because the staff are in the

00:42:17.359 --> 00:42:19.416
process of redesign based on the

00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:21.976
feedback received from from this group.

00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.856
Thank you. A quick followup and and it's

00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:26.776
just a question because I I I just want

00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:28.376
to pick up on something that council

00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:30.616
Porter said earlier. Was it a an

00:42:30.640 --> 00:42:33.640
oversight perhaps um not to include the

00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.016
the those technical documents the

00:42:37.040 --> 00:42:38.616
roundabouts the thing in the

00:42:38.640 --> 00:42:41.335
confidential attachment um cuz I know

00:42:41.359 --> 00:42:43.256
it's a tender so it needed to be was a

00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:45.335
bit of an oversight and can it be

00:42:45.359 --> 00:42:47.976
included in future  business papers?

00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:49.896
Is that is that okay?

00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:52.920
Mr. It wasn't an oversight and um and

00:42:53.520 --> 00:42:56.520
what you are asking is not a simple

00:42:56.640 --> 00:42:58.295
question. So what you're starting to ask

00:42:58.319 --> 00:43:00.696
for is should we be providing to

00:43:00.720 --> 00:43:02.136
councilors all the detailed scope

00:43:02.160 --> 00:43:03.656
related information that goes out to

00:43:03.680 --> 00:43:06.680
tender with any piece of work we do. And

00:43:06.720 --> 00:43:08.376
we have not traditionally done that. We

00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:11.400
have traditionally reported to council

00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:14.055
the recommended outcomes on a tender for

00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:16.136
a piece of work that's operational work

00:43:16.160 --> 00:43:17.896
that staff are bringing to you in line

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:20.536
with you. So you adopt a budget to do a

00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:22.936
thing. We then go out to the market and

00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:24.456
ask them to give a surprise to do the

00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:26.536
thing and bring back to you who re we

00:43:26.560 --> 00:43:27.896
recommend does the thing. We don't give

00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:30.136
you all the detail

00:43:30.160 --> 00:43:31.736
that goes with it. We haven't typically

00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:33.736
done that.

00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:36.760
Thanks mover council name second

council renewal councelor Allen

00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:58.456
all those in favor

00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:01.016
generously 10.2 to the audit risk

00:44:01.040 --> 00:44:02.536
improvement committee recruitment of

00:44:02.560 --> 00:44:05.176
independent external members councilors

00:44:05.200 --> 00:44:07.176
any questions?

00:44:07.200 --> 00:44:10.200
Yeah, I guess just Mr. Mayor um

00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:14.295
did staff consider I know I know that

00:44:14.319 --> 00:44:16.295
you've got

00:44:16.319 --> 00:44:17.815
specific direction about how many

00:44:17.839 --> 00:44:20.295
members are allowed on the committee and

00:44:20.319 --> 00:44:23.319
and whatever if you thought another

00:44:24.640 --> 00:44:27.496
 member to add another member to the

00:44:27.520 --> 00:44:29.656
committee was a prudent thing to do. I

00:44:29.680 --> 00:44:30.696
know we're paying them now, so it's

00:44:30.720 --> 00:44:33.176
actually a financial consideration, but

00:44:33.200 --> 00:44:34.376
is is that something that you

00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:35.976
considered? Who am I talking to here?

00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:38.216
What is it? Organizational services.

00:44:38.240 --> 00:44:41.240
Anyway, who I is is that something that

00:44:42.319 --> 00:44:45.176
you considered the option of having just

00:44:45.200 --> 00:44:48.055
another set of eyes? I mean, questions

00:44:48.079 --> 00:44:49.656
through the chair. Thanks, Mr. May.

00:44:49.680 --> 00:44:50.055
Sorry.

00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:52.376
Yeah, Mr. May, I'll I'll answer that

00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.776
question. And the answer is what we did

00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:56.456
was went through the process in line

00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:58.936
with the adopted policy framework of

00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.176
council. That's

00:45:01.200 --> 00:45:03.496
similar similar to us going through a

00:45:03.520 --> 00:45:05.335
staff recruitment process for a director

00:45:05.359 --> 00:45:07.095
saying thing. I like two of them. I'm

00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:09.416
going to put two on.

00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:11.016
It's that's the concept though. We've

00:45:11.040 --> 00:45:12.696
got a budget to work to. We've got a

00:45:12.720 --> 00:45:15.720
policy that says do this. Yeah. So we've

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:17.095
come up with three because council

00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:20.119
resolved to find three.

00:45:20.560 --> 00:45:22.295
Council O'Neil, you have a alternative

00:45:22.319 --> 00:45:24.376
motion or the same motion but with extra

00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:24.936
points.

00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:27.016
I do, but I also just got one question

00:45:27.040 --> 00:45:29.815
right at the start. Um through you, Mr.

00:45:29.839 --> 00:45:31.896
Mayor, could you just describe what the

00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:34.856
responsibilities of ERIC are in this

00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:36.136
process? There's a reference in the

00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:38.216
papers to the relevant section, but I

00:45:38.240 --> 00:45:39.335
just wanted to make sure that anyone

00:45:39.359 --> 00:45:41.256
listening in just sort of understands

00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:44.280
the import of this committee for our um

00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:48.119
guarding against fraud and waste.

00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:51.416
through me. I'm sort of I'm sort of

00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:53.656
thinking um how to frame this without

00:45:53.680 --> 00:45:55.656
going into too much det. So it is now

00:45:55.680 --> 00:45:57.656
legislated the responsibilities of an

00:45:57.680 --> 00:45:59.815
ARIC. In the past that wasn't the case.

00:45:59.839 --> 00:46:02.536
They are quite stringent and they cover

00:46:02.560 --> 00:46:05.560
um broad categories of audit risk um

00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:07.496
risk management oversight and

00:46:07.520 --> 00:46:10.295
improvement.

00:46:10.319 --> 00:46:12.936
I'm not going to read out the go into

00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:14.376
the act and read that out if that's what

00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:15.815
you're asking. But they are um quite

00:46:15.839 --> 00:46:17.575
ownorous responsibilities now which is

00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:19.416
why council ended up resolving to

00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:21.496
remunerate these positions. It's not the

00:46:21.520 --> 00:46:24.456
sort of thing that you could competently

00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:26.456
do without a level of experience and

00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:29.480
qualification.

00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:32.599
Now the staff

00:46:34.240 --> 00:46:35.815
I'd like to move the staff

00:46:35.839 --> 00:46:38.839
recommendation with an extra point um

00:46:39.680 --> 00:46:41.335
that should be on teams if I can reach

00:46:41.359 --> 00:46:44.359
it.  that council expresses its deep

00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:47.480
appreciation to um do I need to read

00:46:47.839 --> 00:46:49.815
through the whole re recommendation, Mr.

00:46:49.839 --> 00:46:50.216
Mayor?

00:46:50.240 --> 00:46:51.976
No, just just your point.

00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.000
Okay. Expresses its deep appreciation to

00:46:55.200 --> 00:46:58.200
outgoing ERIC chair Mr. Michael Pri and

00:46:58.319 --> 00:47:00.776
Eric member Mr. and Nick Derrera for

00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:02.696
their significant contribution to good

00:47:02.720 --> 00:47:04.696
governance and management of the Bea

00:47:04.720 --> 00:47:07.656
Valley Shire Council and both brought

00:47:07.680 --> 00:47:09.095
deep experience in leadership and

00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:10.936
management to serve as volunteers

00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:13.736
overseeing audit and compliance.

00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:15.095
That will become point three of the

00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.176
resolution when we come back. I need to

00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:19.656
councilors to accept the recommendation

00:47:19.680 --> 00:47:20.536
start.

00:47:20.560 --> 00:47:21.815
Sorry, I thought you go to pray.

00:47:21.839 --> 00:47:23.176
That's okay. It's all right. I'll let

00:47:23.200 --> 00:47:25.176
you go. It's okay. The councils consider

00:47:25.200 --> 00:47:27.016
the outcome of the recruitment process

00:47:27.040 --> 00:47:28.696
and resolve to appoint the three members

00:47:28.720 --> 00:47:30.456
as per the confidential memo. Someone

00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:32.136
like to move that council n and

00:47:32.160 --> 00:47:34.696
councelor Allen. All those in favor

00:47:34.720 --> 00:47:37.575
carried unanimously. Now you can go to

00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:39.575
motion. Oh, you've read it. So the

00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:42.599
appointment is of um Mr. Martin Booth

00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.736
who is current Mr. George Iraq and as

00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:47.496
independent members the order and risk

00:47:47.520 --> 00:47:48.776
committee and the appointment of Mrs.

00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:50.456
Jennifer Whitten as chair of the audit

00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:52.295
and risk and improvement committee as

00:47:52.319 --> 00:47:55.319
well as.3 as express expressed by

00:47:55.359 --> 00:47:57.016
councelor O'Neil. Councelor O'Neil, you

00:47:57.040 --> 00:47:58.216
happy to move that?

00:47:58.240 --> 00:47:59.896
Um, I am.

00:47:59.920 --> 00:48:02.920
And can I speak?

00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:04.295
Yeah.

00:48:04.319 --> 00:48:07.319
Motion. Um what I want to say is that

00:48:08.319 --> 00:48:10.776
we've agreed to to put some remuneration

00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:12.616
but what I really noticed during this

00:48:12.640 --> 00:48:14.856
process is that we got some of the most

00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:16.536
outstanding

00:48:16.560 --> 00:48:18.456
people who want to serve with the bigger

00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:21.416
bal council to make sure that we are

00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:24.216
compliant hard on fraud and continuously

00:48:24.240 --> 00:48:26.535
improving our operations to make them

00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:29.559
more efficient. Um it was um I was not

00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:32.535
on the selection panel that was um

00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:35.559
handled by staff and the mayor. Um but

00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:37.736
when I read their report I thought gosh

00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:39.496
what an incredibly hard decision to

00:48:39.520 --> 00:48:42.520
make. Um all of the candidates that went

00:48:43.040 --> 00:48:45.016
through for interview were really really

00:48:45.040 --> 00:48:47.176
wellqualified. What a hard decision it

00:48:47.200 --> 00:48:50.200
was to choose between them. Um I do

00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:52.376
think however we've come up with an

00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.136
extraordinary combination of people who

00:48:54.160 --> 00:48:56.936
bring fresh eyes from outside our area

00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:59.416
which we'll find really useful in the

00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.440
future. But in saying that I put that

00:49:02.720 --> 00:49:05.720
extra point in um Mick Pri has been an

00:49:06.240 --> 00:49:09.240
extraordinary servant for the community

00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:11.575
of the bigger valley Shire and we've

00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:13.335
recognized that he is now senior citizen

00:49:13.359 --> 00:49:16.055
of the year and so he should be.  Nick

00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:18.216
Derrera brought considerable business

00:49:18.240 --> 00:49:19.656
experience particularly in project

00:49:19.680 --> 00:49:22.680
management of of big areas. He has shown

00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:25.896
extraordinary willingness to work really

00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:28.456
hard for improvement in our processes

00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:30.136
and I want to thank him for that for his

00:49:30.160 --> 00:49:33.160
extraordinary diligent um  application

00:49:33.680 --> 00:49:36.616
to the job. Um and I just want to make

00:49:36.640 --> 00:49:39.575
sure that we all know that again that we

00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:42.055
got in a really good field of candidates

00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:44.535
here making it a very hard decision. But

00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:46.295
I do think that we have got a really

00:49:46.319 --> 00:49:49.016
good basis going forward to really have

00:49:49.040 --> 00:49:50.936
a look at our operations and and improve

00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:52.376
them.

00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.400
Thanks councelor New Secer.

00:50:00.240 --> 00:50:02.055
I'll just briefly speak to it and

00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:03.976
confirm having sat on the review

00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:06.696
committee. Um the chair is an

00:50:06.720 --> 00:50:08.376
outstanding person who works with

00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:11.095
several city councils as well as you

00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:13.496
would have seen in her resume and it's

00:50:13.520 --> 00:50:14.936
good that we're getting people outside

00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:16.936
that's willing to have a fresh look at

00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:19.335
the burger valley and and our financial

00:50:19.359 --> 00:50:21.335
situation as well as our operational

00:50:21.359 --> 00:50:23.416
processes. So it was really good that we

00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:25.656
could attract those sort of applicants

00:50:25.680 --> 00:50:27.416
for it and we're pretty pleased when we

00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:30.136
did. So thank you. Put the motion. All

00:50:30.160 --> 00:50:33.160
those in favor carried unanimously. Item

00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:36.696
10.3 request for financial assistance w

00:50:36.720 --> 00:50:38.535
outstanding rates and charges. I have a

00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:40.055
motion. I think councelor Daly has a

00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:42.936
foreshadow motion. So my motion is that

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.496
council proceed with the sale of lot 3

00:50:45.520 --> 00:50:47.496
DP240604

00:50:47.520 --> 00:50:50.520
property at 1719 Bara Drive Burger

00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.815
indicatively in February 2027 as planned

00:50:53.839 --> 00:50:55.736
for recovery outstanding rates and fees

00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:57.496
and aligns with option one in the

00:50:57.520 --> 00:50:59.976
report. Do I have a seconder? Councelor

00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:03.000
Allen. Councelor Daly, obviously your

00:51:03.040 --> 00:51:04.136
foreshadow motions.

00:51:04.160 --> 00:51:05.575
Yeah,

00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:07.176
sorry man.

00:51:07.200 --> 00:51:08.856
We now have a new code of meeting

00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:10.456
practice.

00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:11.335
Bit of remind

00:51:11.359 --> 00:51:13.016
that does not allow for foreshadowed

00:51:13.040 --> 00:51:15.976
motions.

00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:18.535
It it yes it allows you to move an

00:51:18.559 --> 00:51:21.559
amended motion or um if a

00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:25.095
motion sorry say this publicly.

00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:26.535
Yeah, you can say it publicly because we

00:51:26.559 --> 00:51:27.896
all need to understand.

00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:29.656
Sorry, m I'll start again. So now the

00:51:29.680 --> 00:51:31.335
council has adopted a new code of

00:51:31.359 --> 00:51:33.575
meeting practice that aligns with the

00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:36.535
mandatory requirements of the code of

00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:38.055
meeting practice guidelines recently

00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:39.976
issued by the government that changes

00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:41.976
your ability to foreshadow motions.

00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:43.575
Councilors can no longer foreshadow

00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:46.599
motions. Your options are to move an

00:51:46.720 --> 00:51:48.856
alternate motion but that alternate

00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:51.880
motion cannot be a direct negative of

00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:54.920
the intention of a motion. If a motion

00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:58.920
does get debated and lapses, um that

00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:02.295
does still mean there is an ability for

00:52:02.319 --> 00:52:04.295
a counselor to then move a different

00:52:04.319 --> 00:52:06.456
motion if a first motion gets voted

00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:07.335
down.

00:52:07.359 --> 00:52:09.416
So which motion gets voted first?

00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:11.815
So the motion that is the motion gets

00:52:11.839 --> 00:52:14.839
voted first. Um a counselor can't

00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:17.815
foreshadow a motion as part of debate.

00:52:17.839 --> 00:52:20.055
They might state why they're opposed to

00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:21.416
a particular motion and what their

00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:24.440
actual position is as a way of

00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:26.856
So my ruling would be I have seen

00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:28.856
councelor Dar's motion and I don't

00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:30.376
believe it be a direct negative of my

00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:31.416
motion. Right.

00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:33.095
No barrel.

00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:35.256
Well, we haven't seen it yet. I'm

00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:36.616
fortunate enough to see it. So if I was

00:52:36.640 --> 00:52:39.095
ruling it wouldn't be a direct. So

00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:40.535
So I'm quite happy to have councelor

00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:41.896
Darly put his motion up as well.

00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:43.335
Okay. Thank you, Miss

00:52:43.359 --> 00:52:44.776
as an amended motion. Yeah.

00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:46.856
Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So

00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:48.696
yeah, because you've got move up, you've

00:52:48.720 --> 00:52:49.815
got second up.

00:52:49.839 --> 00:52:52.055
Yeah. So, as the CA just said, we vote

00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.136
on that motion first. And if that's not

00:52:54.160 --> 00:52:56.856
No, no, no, no. You don't. You

00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:59.016
Mr. Mayor, just to clarify. Now, if you

00:52:59.040 --> 00:53:01.496
are if you're

00:53:01.520 --> 00:53:03.016
I've got the first one in there. I'll

00:53:03.040 --> 00:53:04.376
put it in a sec. I just want to clarify

00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.016
the process before you go too far. If

00:53:07.040 --> 00:53:10.040
you are then going to move an amended

00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:14.280
motion, then the amended motion is the

00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:19.000
one that gets dealt first motion.

00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:22.535
But you can't there is no there is no

00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:25.256
alternate motions anymore. There is a

00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:27.736
motion or an amendment to a motion.

00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:29.896
Is this a question then? Is this

00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:31.335
actually an amendment?

00:53:31.359 --> 00:53:32.936
This is what I asked before.

00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:35.960
Notending the motion. He's not taken

00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:39.079
anything from the the substantive motion

00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:42.216
before. If you were changing word

00:53:42.240 --> 00:53:43.976
sorry if you were changing wording Mr.

00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:47.000
Mayor and Mr. CEO that is is that

00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:49.256
considered an amendment because at the

00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:50.535
moment which is fine. I don't really

00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:52.535
care. I just want clarity on this. It's

00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:54.535
not an amendment at all. It's just a new

00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:57.559
motion whereas Yeah. Sorry.

00:53:57.680 --> 00:54:00.535
So through you Mr. Mayor the this is up

00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:02.295
to the ruling of the chair. The chair

00:54:02.319 --> 00:54:04.616
has the ability to decide if they think

00:54:04.640 --> 00:54:07.640
that a amended motion is similar enough

00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:11.496
to the intent of an original motion to

00:54:11.520 --> 00:54:14.376
consider it an amendment. But if it is

00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:16.376
directly opposed to what the original

00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:18.295
motion was, then it cannot be considered

00:54:18.319 --> 00:54:19.976
as an amendment. It is a different

00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:21.736
motion altogether which can't be dealt

00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:24.696
with until a motion that is on the books

00:54:24.720 --> 00:54:26.936
of council gets debated and loses and

00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:28.696
then a council has the opportunity to

00:54:28.720 --> 00:54:31.720
move a new motion if they so choose.

00:54:34.319 --> 00:54:34.856
Okay.

00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:36.936
Well, it's different in that it's

00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:38.936
proposing to not do something rather

00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:41.496
than do something.

00:54:41.520 --> 00:54:44.520
Yeah. So

00:54:47.040 --> 00:54:49.335
to restate the motion that you put up.

00:54:49.359 --> 00:54:51.095
Yeah. Yeah. If you give me one sec, I'll

00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:52.136
get them both.

00:54:52.160 --> 00:54:54.295
So my motion is that council proceed

00:54:54.319 --> 00:54:57.319
with the sale of lot three as the 17

00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:00.920
indicative to for sale in February 2027

00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:02.696
as planned for recovery of outstanding

00:55:02.720 --> 00:55:04.376
rates and charges which aligns with

00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:06.696
option one in the report. council dies

00:55:06.720 --> 00:55:08.696
is that the matter be deferred for a

00:55:08.720 --> 00:55:11.095
further report um to allow negotiations

00:55:11.119 --> 00:55:12.376
is it not

00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:14.295
in essence yes

00:55:14.319 --> 00:55:16.696
bit more to it than that it's not it's

00:55:16.720 --> 00:55:19.720
not focused on waving of fees

00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:23.800
so what's the what's the

00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:27.656
guest's guidance

00:55:27.680 --> 00:55:29.176
yeah

00:55:29.200 --> 00:55:31.016
m

00:55:31.040 --> 00:55:33.736
to give you guidance in fairness to

00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:34.856
everyone this is the first time we've

00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:37.880
had a like this under the new um code.

00:55:39.680 --> 00:55:41.256
My personal assessment, I'm not the

00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:43.095
chair. My personal assessment would be

00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:46.119
that the motion proposed by

00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:49.800
councelor Daly is not materially the

00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:53.079
same as the intent of yours. So I would

00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:55.256
be suggesting that your motion needs to

00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:57.335
be debated first. If your motion loses,

00:55:57.359 --> 00:56:00.136
then council data can introduce a new

00:56:00.160 --> 00:56:03.160
motion. He can't foreshadow it. He can't

00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:05.496
he can't move an alternate motion. He

00:56:05.520 --> 00:56:07.656
can he can speak against he can speak

00:56:07.680 --> 00:56:09.416
against a motion that council is

00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.736
debating and signal why he is against it

00:56:11.760 --> 00:56:14.456
and what his actual position is.

00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:17.480
Um while the if councelor were to speak

00:56:17.839 --> 00:56:20.136
against a motion, could they then speak

00:56:20.160 --> 00:56:21.335
while they're speaking against the

00:56:21.359 --> 00:56:23.496
motion, could they then suggest an

00:56:23.520 --> 00:56:25.095
alternate motion that they may put

00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.496
without foreshadow? That's exactly

00:56:27.520 --> 00:56:28.936
three, M. That's what I was alluding to.

00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:30.616
But council may be against the position

00:56:30.640 --> 00:56:32.216
because their position is that council

00:56:32.240 --> 00:56:33.896
should do a particular thing that's

00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:36.616
different.

00:56:36.640 --> 00:56:37.416
Thanks.

00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:40.440
All right. So I move my motion counc

00:56:41.040 --> 00:56:42.856
second it speaker for I just speak

00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:44.856
quickly against it. This this is

00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:47.815
substantial m um while we wanted to do

00:56:47.839 --> 00:56:49.095
everything we can for the aboriginal

00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:50.295
corporations and we're working

00:56:50.319 --> 00:56:52.456
extensively around that in other areas

00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:55.016
to try and activate land for them. 

00:56:55.040 --> 00:56:56.936
this has been going on now already for 5

00:56:56.960 --> 00:56:58.936
years. Um there have been plenty of

00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:00.535
opportunities for them to negotiate the

00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:03.176
s any sale as staff work through the

00:57:03.200 --> 00:57:05.976
process won't occur to 2027. So there is

00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:07.656
ample time for the burger land council

00:57:07.680 --> 00:57:09.095
to actually have negotiations with the

00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:11.656
current owner on on without it being

00:57:11.680 --> 00:57:13.896
sold at public auction. Um but we need

00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:15.656
to press ahead and we need to recoup our

00:57:15.680 --> 00:57:17.176
rates the same as we do for any other

00:57:17.200 --> 00:57:19.335
individual in the community. So I'd

00:57:19.359 --> 00:57:21.335
recommend that we proceed ahead with it.

00:57:21.359 --> 00:57:23.976
Um and no time do I want to foreshadow

00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:25.736
that I'm willing to wave any rates and

00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:28.616
fees and charges. Thank you. Speak

00:57:28.640 --> 00:57:30.696
against the bill.

00:57:30.720 --> 00:57:32.216
There we go. We got there.

00:57:32.240 --> 00:57:35.240
, look in in essence, so what my um

00:57:36.640 --> 00:57:38.055
well, it's not a foreshadowed motion.

00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:40.535
What what what I would be seeking to do

00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:42.295
would be this is a

00:57:42.319 --> 00:57:43.016
amended

00:57:43.040 --> 00:57:46.040
amended. Thank you, Councelor N. What is

00:57:46.160 --> 00:57:49.016
it's not until February of 2027 that

00:57:49.040 --> 00:57:52.040
that the sale will be going ahead. Um,

00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:54.936
we've had an a a letter an appeal from

00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:57.416
Beagle Al whose CEO is presently on

00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:00.440
leave um to consider a fee waiver. Now,

00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:04.760
I don't think that's necessarily in well

00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:06.696
in our best interest, but what I am

00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:09.720
eager to do is um get further

00:58:11.119 --> 00:58:13.976
information on potential mechanisms

00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:16.856
for if we if we were to go ahead with

00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:18.936
looking for this site to be developed as

00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:21.960
outlined as 10 to 12 um dwellings for

00:58:23.359 --> 00:58:25.976
Aboriginal elders that we would be able

00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:28.376
to say get in place some assurances that

00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:31.400
that's what the land would be used for

00:58:31.520 --> 00:58:34.456
that it wouldn't be onsold by  the LA

00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:36.696
and that our costs could be recovered.

00:58:36.720 --> 00:58:38.376
What I just want to be able to take the

00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:40.295
time this may we may be able to have

00:58:40.319 --> 00:58:41.976
this discussion at the next council

00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:43.896
meeting but take the time to meet with

00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:46.295
stakeholders have the staff take their

00:58:46.319 --> 00:58:49.095
time to look at this and see if there's

00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:51.256
a way that we can proceed that can

00:58:51.280 --> 00:58:54.280
facilitate um that development. So

00:58:54.720 --> 00:58:56.055
what's a couple of things that have been

00:58:56.079 --> 00:58:59.016
said on this um have been that this is a

00:58:59.040 --> 00:59:00.856
like very much we don't want to set a

00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:03.656
precedent around waiverss of fees 

00:59:03.680 --> 00:59:06.680
unpaid  rates and fees. I I agree um

00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:09.176
in terms of things that we don't have

00:59:09.200 --> 00:59:11.656
precedent for this opportunity is one I

00:59:11.680 --> 00:59:12.856
don't know that there's been any

00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:15.656
development of this nature um or or

00:59:15.680 --> 00:59:17.496
partnership with any of the LAS to kind

00:59:17.520 --> 00:59:20.520
of pursue this type of housing. So I my

00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:23.896
what I'm looking to do is just take a

00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:25.976
little bit longer to explore other

00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:28.616
options. It may come back that next

00:59:28.640 --> 00:59:31.095
meeting we have the same motion and then

00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:34.055
it's put to us then yes or no. Are we

00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:36.055
going to proceed um with the sale of

00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:38.216
land etc. But given we have this time

00:59:38.240 --> 00:59:40.936
frame um to get more information and

00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:43.960
make a decision I would urge us all to

00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:46.936
consider that. Um, my alternate motion

00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:49.256
is in emails and it's not an alternate

00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:51.335
motion. My suggestion, my alternate

00:59:51.359 --> 00:59:54.216
suggestion is in the email and the chat.

00:59:54.240 --> 00:59:56.055
Um, I encourage you to have a a very

00:59:56.079 --> 00:59:59.079
good read of it. Um, and and yeah, and

00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:01.736
to be very clear, there is no suggestion

01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:04.376
that we we wave the outstanding charges,

01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:07.016
just that we simply take a little longer

01:00:07.040 --> 01:00:10.040
to look at this um, you know, very

01:00:10.319 --> 01:00:12.936
unique situation and opportunity. the

01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:14.775
opportunity that this is with a few

01:00:14.799 --> 01:00:17.095
guard rails around that as as guided by

01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:20.119
staff. So, I'd encourage you to um

01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:24.119
consider that motion  and vote against

01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:25.976
the current. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:28.376
For the motion, the speaker for the

01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:30.136
motion.

01:00:30.160 --> 01:00:32.136
I need to write a reply. Put the motion.

01:00:32.160 --> 01:00:34.696

Second. Council Noble

to speak to it. Council N

01:01:04.720 --> 01:01:07.720
did have questions, but we'll move on.

01:01:09.280 --> 01:01:09.416
No,

01:01:09.440 --> 01:01:10.856
it's all right. We got other things to

01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:12.295
get through.

01:01:12.319 --> 01:01:14.856
with the motion. All those in favor

01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:16.775
carried unanimously.

01:01:16.799 --> 01:01:19.799
Delivery plan staff reports executive

01:01:20.160 --> 01:01:22.535
services delivering plan counselors

01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:23.256
questions.

01:01:23.280 --> 01:01:25.335
I I'll move it.

01:01:25.359 --> 01:01:28.359
Yep. Council O'Neil

01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:31.880
second council Noble council owner you

01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:35.559
speaking to it.

01:01:36.640 --> 01:01:39.496
Um this is a really full account of

01:01:39.520 --> 01:01:40.936
what's been happening against our

01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:43.016
delivery plan. I define anyone to be

01:01:43.040 --> 01:01:44.616
right across every part of this detail

01:01:44.640 --> 01:01:47.575
except maybe the CEO. Um but I did want

01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:49.896
to highlight a couple of spots in there.

01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:51.815
Um let's start with the negatives. We

01:01:51.839 --> 01:01:53.335
have deferred a number of big capital

01:01:53.359 --> 01:01:56.136
works as has been publicly acknowledged.

01:01:56.160 --> 01:01:58.376
So that means to me as a arrogant

01:01:58.400 --> 01:01:59.815
delegate that we have to keep looking at

01:01:59.839 --> 01:02:01.656
our forward planning and ability to

01:02:01.680 --> 01:02:04.680
project manage effectively. Not every

01:02:04.720 --> 01:02:06.936
deferral is a bad one, but it's just a

01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:08.856
message to us all to keep an eye on

01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:11.880
that. Um I did want to note there um as

01:02:13.200 --> 01:02:16.200
the CEO said in a a meet new cadetses

01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:19.880
and trainees event this morning that

01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:21.736
this council has done extraordinarily

01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:23.416
well out of the fresh start and the

01:02:23.440 --> 01:02:26.216
youth um investment program projects of

01:02:26.240 --> 01:02:28.216
the state government to allow us to take

01:02:28.240 --> 01:02:31.240
on at cadetses and traineeships local

01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:33.815
people trained for local jobs getting an

01:02:33.839 --> 01:02:36.696
education alongside work. Um and to

01:02:36.720 --> 01:02:38.775
thank the CEO for pursuing those

01:02:38.799 --> 01:02:41.799
opportunities as energetically as we

01:02:41.839 --> 01:02:43.976
have and to congratulate in fact the

01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:45.896
young cadetses and trainees that we met

01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:47.736
this morning. It's really heartening to

01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:49.896
see kids so enthusiastic about pursuing

01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:52.535
a career seeing it through plus getting

01:02:52.559 --> 01:02:55.095
the education on the sides to fit them

01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:58.055
from a variety of futures. Um there's

01:02:58.079 --> 01:02:59.656
another one I just wanted to mention too

01:02:59.680 --> 01:03:02.680
for anyone listening in. Um the council

01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:05.960
papers are often labyrinthan. It is hard

01:03:06.559 --> 01:03:08.775
for counselors to be on top of all the

01:03:08.799 --> 01:03:10.936
material in it. Takes a lot of time and

01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:13.960
effort. So I notice on page 507

01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:16.535
um that the staff have been doing work

01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:18.936
on improving their report writing skills

01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:21.335
on making sure that they're relevant to

01:03:21.359 --> 01:03:23.335
the decision makers and the material is

01:03:23.359 --> 01:03:26.359
there. Um that is such an important

01:03:26.480 --> 01:03:28.216
thing to do. can get overlooked in the

01:03:28.240 --> 01:03:29.736
rush for everything else like that. But

01:03:29.760 --> 01:03:31.815
it's one of those things that leads to

01:03:31.839 --> 01:03:33.256
better decision- making. So,

01:03:33.280 --> 01:03:35.656
congratulations on that and I can't

01:03:35.680 --> 01:03:38.680
resist on saying that I have tried very

01:03:38.799 --> 01:03:40.616
hard to keep the apostrophe in our

01:03:40.640 --> 01:03:43.640
reports. I'm failing at that. But could

01:03:43.680 --> 01:03:45.095
I just bring your attention to the

01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:46.936
possessive case in the English language

01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:49.095
is a very important one and we should

01:03:49.119 --> 01:03:51.496
not let it go just from sheer inability

01:03:51.520 --> 01:03:53.575
to work out where an apostrophe should

01:03:53.599 --> 01:03:56.599
go. Okay. You know, build a bridge.

01:03:56.799 --> 01:03:58.136
No. Well, I meant the same thing for

01:03:58.160 --> 01:03:59.736
officers recommendation, but we've got

01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:02.760
that now. Officers recommendation.

01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:05.575
Okay. I'm leaving. I I acknowledge

01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:08.599
failure on that one. Um the other um one

01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:13.000
that um I just wanted to mention, the IT

01:04:13.359 --> 01:04:15.496
projects here are really crucial for our

01:04:15.520 --> 01:04:17.575
ability to get better in the future. So,

01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:19.656
I'll keep an eye on those in the in the

01:04:19.680 --> 01:04:22.295
future. But overall, thank you very

01:04:22.319 --> 01:04:24.696
much. Despite the ones which aren't

01:04:24.720 --> 01:04:26.376
going as well as the others, I can see

01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:29.256
there's a an overall plan and an effort

01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:31.095
to work against our delivery plan for

01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:33.256
the next few years.

01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:36.280
Thanks for speaker against put the

01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:39.095
recommendation. All those in favor

01:04:39.119 --> 01:04:41.896
carried unanimously. Item 11.2 Two,

01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:43.416
Australian local government notice the

01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:46.216
motions that the mayor council is to be

01:04:46.240 --> 01:04:48.456
determined and the CEO or their delegate

01:04:48.480 --> 01:04:51.480
attend the Australian local government

01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:53.496
conference and the motions one to three

01:04:53.520 --> 01:04:56.520
as per the paper. Um he put to ALGA the

01:04:57.680 --> 01:04:59.575
council resolve on additional motions as

01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:02.216
required that meet the listed principles

01:05:02.240 --> 01:05:04.055
forwarding to Alga to include them in

01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:07.079
the business paper. Counselors obviously

01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:09.176
we would need to determine who else is

01:05:09.200 --> 01:05:12.136
going. Mr. See how many positions do we

01:05:12.160 --> 01:05:15.160
have? Seven or eight.

01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:19.000
Three, Mr. Mayor. Council does have a um

01:05:19.520 --> 01:05:22.456
council development budget that I would

01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:24.535
say hasn't been fully utilized this

01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:27.176
year. So they we could within existing

01:05:27.200 --> 01:05:29.815
budgets fund several councils. I think

01:05:29.839 --> 01:05:31.896
last year we had four

01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:32.696
three and the mayor.

01:05:32.720 --> 01:05:35.575
Three and the mayor. Yep. And I mean

01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:37.976
indicatively that that's not that far

01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:39.416
off what we've traditionally had. It's

01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:42.440
fluctuated up and down a bit. So

01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:45.256
if if asked, I could find out exactly

01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:46.616
how much we had remaining in the budget

01:05:46.640 --> 01:05:48.295
if the number got really high as to who

01:05:48.319 --> 01:05:49.736
wanted to attend this as professional

01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:51.015
development.

01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:52.856
Um when's the next um local government

01:05:52.880 --> 01:05:54.535
New South Wales conference?

01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:55.095
November.

01:05:55.119 --> 01:05:56.376
Yeah. T November.

01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:57.896
Local government New South Wales always

01:05:57.920 --> 01:06:00.920
November. August always June.

01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:04.535
I've got some questions.

01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:05.896
Council know questions.

01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:07.176
Okay. This goes to the motions

01:06:07.200 --> 01:06:08.136
themselves.

01:06:08.160 --> 01:06:09.095
All right. Yeah. Yep.

01:06:09.119 --> 01:06:09.976
If you don't mind.

01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:10.616
No, that's fine.

01:06:10.640 --> 01:06:13.640
Yeah. Um, but perhaps if I just say

01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:15.656
which um

01:06:15.680 --> 01:06:18.136
 yeah, so the on the ones about tiny

01:06:18.160 --> 01:06:20.216
homes, I thought that we as a council

01:06:20.240 --> 01:06:22.055
have decided to avoid that term like the

01:06:22.079 --> 01:06:24.535
plague because it covers so many things.

01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:26.616
So I'm just saying should we say movable

01:06:26.640 --> 01:06:27.976
dwellings, manufactured homes and

01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:29.496
secondary dwellings or whatever you

01:06:29.520 --> 01:06:32.295
suggest rather than adopting this

01:06:32.319 --> 01:06:34.535
particular nomature if that's the right

01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:37.559
word. Um and I thought um we could

01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:41.575
possibly include wording about this um

01:06:41.599 --> 01:06:44.599
should specify regional um ramifications

01:06:45.359 --> 01:06:47.176
of this sort of thing rather than the

01:06:47.200 --> 01:06:49.015
more general one that it's got. And the

01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:51.256
other one was um the enabling land

01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:54.280
Aboriginal land activation to support um

01:06:54.559 --> 01:06:57.559
closing the gap. Um, I absolutely agree

01:06:58.240 --> 01:06:59.656
with what's in this, but I just

01:06:59.680 --> 01:07:01.815
mentioned I I just wanted to know what

01:07:01.839 --> 01:07:04.216
the relevance was to the new legislation

01:07:04.240 --> 01:07:07.240
on the EPBC act on biodiversity

01:07:08.559 --> 01:07:11.559
agreements with the states.

01:07:11.839 --> 01:07:13.095
You want me to speak to the biodiversity

01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:13.256
one?

01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:13.976
Yeah,

01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:15.656
I'll start on the biodiversity one. So,

01:07:15.680 --> 01:07:17.496
we have several parcels of Aboriginal

01:07:17.520 --> 01:07:19.496
land that we've been trying to activate.

01:07:19.520 --> 01:07:20.856
Um, when they've did their assessment

01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:22.295
under the New South Wales Act, which is

01:07:22.319 --> 01:07:23.656
the one they're entitled to do it under

01:07:23.680 --> 01:07:26.055
at present because the EB the federal

01:07:26.079 --> 01:07:27.416
new federal act is still being

01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:29.335
legislated, they are required to meet

01:07:29.359 --> 01:07:31.416
the New South Wales biodiversity. Then

01:07:31.440 --> 01:07:32.856
there's the opportunity for the federal

01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:34.136
government be placed over the top of it

01:07:34.160 --> 01:07:35.815
and they have to duplicate and do

01:07:35.839 --> 01:07:38.535
another biodiversity report.

01:07:38.559 --> 01:07:39.656
That's what we've been trying to

01:07:39.680 --> 01:07:42.216
advocate for is that if the same the

01:07:42.240 --> 01:07:44.456
both biodiversity legislation is the

01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:46.216
same and the states align with the

01:07:46.240 --> 01:07:48.616
federal in this case on Aboriginal land

01:07:48.640 --> 01:07:49.656
that we have that we're trying to

01:07:49.680 --> 01:07:51.976
activate mainly with the Aboriginal land

01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:54.535
council there's numerous bodies of crown

01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:56.535
land that they've been given but also

01:07:56.559 --> 01:07:58.376
have native title claims on it and by

01:07:58.400 --> 01:07:59.815
the time you take the native title claim

01:07:59.839 --> 01:08:01.896
and the biodiversity offset the land

01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:04.456
value is 25% of the granted land value

01:08:04.480 --> 01:08:06.856
and then so no activation takes place

01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:09.880
because of what they've got pay. So the

01:08:10.079 --> 01:08:11.416
advocacy we've been doing to the New

01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:13.176
South Wales government around this is

01:08:13.200 --> 01:08:14.616
that the biodiversity should be looked

01:08:14.640 --> 01:08:16.376
at in a different way on Aboriginal land

01:08:16.400 --> 01:08:17.976
to allow them to activate the land for

01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:19.735
the purposes that it was given to them.

01:08:19.759 --> 01:08:22.135
This motion simply reinforces that to

01:08:22.159 --> 01:08:24.456
both at a Commonwealth level through

01:08:24.480 --> 01:08:26.856
ALGA. So

01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:27.976
um I'm just going to ask a further

01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:29.735
question. Is the intent then that we

01:08:29.759 --> 01:08:32.759
influence the Commonwealth to state EPBC

01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:34.536
agreements that are coming up or a

01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:36.856
completely new policy?

01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:38.536
Well, until we get the adoption of the

01:08:38.560 --> 01:08:41.496
federal policy fully, we don't know.

01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:43.496
I'll be honest about that, which is a

01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:45.576
worry. So,

01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:48.600
my reading of of um motion two and you

01:08:49.359 --> 01:08:50.936
know, coming as as the green in the

01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:53.016
room, um yeah, I shared the concerns

01:08:53.040 --> 01:08:55.255
about um environmental protection. I

01:08:55.279 --> 01:08:56.456
think it's a fabulous opportunity to

01:08:56.480 --> 01:08:58.616
open up a dialogue between um Aboriginal

01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:00.376
people who have been here for tens of

01:09:00.400 --> 01:09:02.456
thousands of years, living in the

01:09:02.480 --> 01:09:05.480
environment, not somewhere else. Um, and

01:09:06.480 --> 01:09:08.616
um, I I actually support the motion,

01:09:08.640 --> 01:09:10.695
too. For that reason, I think it's it's

01:09:10.719 --> 01:09:13.016
not writing legislation. It's a it's a

01:09:13.040 --> 01:09:15.096
motion to take to ALA. It's a fabulous

01:09:15.120 --> 01:09:17.576
way to open up a conversation. So,

01:09:17.600 --> 01:09:19.096
um, yeah, I should be clear, Mr. Mayor.

01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:20.695
I was not opposing it. I just wanted to

01:09:20.719 --> 01:09:22.456
make sure that we picked up the nuance

01:09:22.480 --> 01:09:24.536
because I don't want policy makers to

01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:25.815
just say, "Oh, you haven't looked at the

01:09:25.839 --> 01:09:27.576
new legislation."

01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:29.096
Extreme me. I'll add another piece of

01:09:29.120 --> 01:09:30.856
nuance. You picked one piece of

01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:33.175
environmental related legislation that

01:09:33.199 --> 01:09:35.416
impacts Aboriginal people from being

01:09:35.440 --> 01:09:37.815
able to activate land for housing,

01:09:37.839 --> 01:09:39.416
economic development and community

01:09:39.440 --> 01:09:41.175
benefit. It is not just that piece of

01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:43.815
legislation that's holding Aboriginal

01:09:43.839 --> 01:09:45.016
people back from an environmental

01:09:45.040 --> 01:09:46.936
perspective.

01:09:46.960 --> 01:09:48.616
Thanks.

01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:50.936
Yeah, Mr. Mayor, I've been processing

01:09:50.960 --> 01:09:53.960
the tiny homes thing in my head. The the

01:09:54.320 --> 01:09:57.320
reason is  we we want to be quite

01:09:57.920 --> 01:10:00.920
explicit that that is a term that is

01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:03.496
getting used more and more nationally to

01:10:03.520 --> 01:10:06.520
describe a particular type of housing.

01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:09.800
So

01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:11.655
the definition of movable dwellings is

01:10:11.679 --> 01:10:13.655
not a nationwide definition for example.

01:10:13.679 --> 01:10:15.576
So we've got to be careful about what it

01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:17.896
is we're trying to

01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:20.920
call out at a national level here.

01:10:21.679 --> 01:10:23.896
We could reconsider some slight nuancing

01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:26.920
around the wording. I I will share that

01:10:27.040 --> 01:10:29.096
I learned a new term for these things

01:10:29.120 --> 01:10:30.695
that I didn't know was a term for these

01:10:30.719 --> 01:10:32.135
things after having a meeting with the

01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:34.056
executive team of Snowman and I'll

01:10:34.080 --> 01:10:36.776
quickly share this. We were asking them

01:10:36.800 --> 01:10:38.936
if they were seeing many tiny homes

01:10:38.960 --> 01:10:41.416
appear in their LGA. They said, "Oh, no,

01:10:41.440 --> 01:10:42.616
not really." And then they said, "But

01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:43.736
we've got these plonkers." I'm like,

01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:45.016
"What's a ploner?" And they described

01:10:45.040 --> 01:10:46.456
what a ploner was. And a ploner is a

01:10:46.480 --> 01:10:49.480
tiny home. Caught a different thing. So

01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:51.496
get the point. People are calling the

01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:54.520
same thing a different thing. And yeah,

01:10:54.719 --> 01:10:56.695
the the point is around Yeah, the point

01:10:56.719 --> 01:10:58.536
is around

01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:01.256
finding a way to um clarify all this and

01:11:01.280 --> 01:11:04.280
find a way to to make lower cost housing

01:11:04.480 --> 01:11:06.215
feasible. I'll pass the direct the

01:11:06.239 --> 01:11:07.576
director's got something to

01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:08.376
someone call. Can

01:11:08.400 --> 01:11:10.456
can I suggest a motion that we um that

01:11:10.480 --> 01:11:12.056
um Bigger Valley accepts the term

01:11:12.080 --> 01:11:15.080
ploners as opposed to tiny homes?

01:11:15.360 --> 01:11:17.896
in their secular pods.

01:11:17.920 --> 01:11:18.856
Sorry,

01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:20.296
through you, Mr. Mayor. I was just going

01:11:20.320 --> 01:11:22.376
to suggest even if we just put quotation

01:11:22.400 --> 01:11:24.456
marks around tiny home because I think

01:11:24.480 --> 01:11:26.856
it is, as um the CEO said, we need to

01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:29.256
refer to the colloquial name, but even

01:11:29.280 --> 01:11:30.616
just putting that quotation mark will

01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:33.640
show it's not an actual legislated term.

01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:36.616
Very good. Done. Any further questions

01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:37.576
on the motions? 

01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:39.096
no, but we need to choose people.

01:11:39.120 --> 01:11:40.776
That's right.

01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:41.896
Yes.

01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:44.296
cuz I'll nominate council Porter

01:11:44.320 --> 01:11:44.536
which

01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:46.856
if anyone wants I'll nominate councelor

01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:49.816
Porter as one of the delegates.

01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:52.840
I'll nominate Simon Dailyaly.

01:11:54.080 --> 01:11:57.080
I'll nominate Claire Medallia.

01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:01.960
It's like who wants to go nominate.

01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:06.199
I'll also nominate Peggy

01:12:07.040 --> 01:12:10.040
just to see how that's for. Will that

01:12:10.400 --> 01:12:11.256
affect your lending?

01:12:11.280 --> 01:12:13.416
, true, Mr. Mayor. I believe that we

01:12:13.440 --> 01:12:14.856
will be able to cover that within

01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:17.175
existing budgets. I will commit though

01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:19.655
to bringing back a report to council if

01:12:19.679 --> 01:12:21.416
a budget variation was going to be

01:12:21.440 --> 01:12:23.976
required to cover that cost.

01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:25.336
And because there's only one voting

01:12:25.360 --> 01:12:26.856
right which rests with the mayor, it's

01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:28.376
not a voting issue. We don't have to

01:12:28.400 --> 01:12:31.400
vote for or against anyone put that the

01:12:31.920 --> 01:12:34.920
four. So the four council Porter,

01:12:35.280 --> 01:12:37.096
councelor Daly, councelor Medalia,

01:12:37.120 --> 01:12:38.776
councelor Noble attend along with the

01:12:38.800 --> 01:12:40.536
mayor and the CEO of the Australian

01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:41.976
local government conference that the

01:12:42.000 --> 01:12:44.215
motions one to three as presented and if

01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:45.816
councilors have further motions they be

01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:47.736
submitted to the CEO as quickly as

01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:49.256
possible so we can get them included in

01:12:49.280 --> 01:12:51.655
the business papers. Councilors someone

01:12:51.679 --> 01:12:54.215
move

01:12:54.239 --> 01:12:56.695
and councelor Allen

01:12:56.719 --> 01:12:57.655
did you want to reply?

01:12:57.679 --> 01:12:59.175
No, this just something want to add if I

01:12:59.199 --> 01:12:59.576
can

01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:01.976
go before I put the motion. Ex just

01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:03.576
wanted to um clarify with

01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:05.256
counterattendance at this and what I was

01:13:05.280 --> 01:13:07.496
saying about professional development.

01:13:07.520 --> 01:13:09.175
This conference isn't just about

01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:11.016
attending and voting on motions. This

01:13:11.040 --> 01:13:12.776
conference has a lot of other very

01:13:12.800 --> 01:13:15.800
valuable um seminars, workshops, and um

01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:19.896
we we also have the opportunity to hear

01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:22.920
from numerous federal politicians at the

01:13:23.040 --> 01:13:25.416
time on national policy issues. So, it's

01:13:25.440 --> 01:13:26.856
not just about attending to vote on

01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:28.376
motions, which is why it would be

01:13:28.400 --> 01:13:31.400
considered professional development.

01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:34.936
for the motion. All those in favor

01:13:34.960 --> 01:13:37.576
carried unanimously. There's no council

01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:40.600
reports. No recision alteration motions.

01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:43.096
Notice the motion is 14.1 water

01:13:43.120 --> 01:13:44.536
bubblers. Councelor Allen, your motion.

01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:46.536
You have a second.

01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:48.695
Council Noble.

01:13:48.719 --> 01:13:50.215
Councelor Allen. Over to you.

01:13:50.239 --> 01:13:52.456
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I think the um

01:13:52.480 --> 01:13:55.416
notice of motion is self-explanatory.

01:13:55.440 --> 01:13:58.440
Mr. Mayor, the um the um bubblers

01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:02.695
do appear around certain areas of the SH

01:14:02.719 --> 01:14:05.719
at certain sporting locations, but

01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:08.296
they're missing at other locations and

01:14:08.320 --> 01:14:09.816
that's being noticed that they aren't at

01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:12.840
certain locations. So, it's um it's just

01:14:12.880 --> 01:14:15.880
a matter of the staff coming up with

01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:17.655
some areas where they believe that the

01:14:17.679 --> 01:14:20.135
bubblers may be applicable. If they find

01:14:20.159 --> 01:14:21.416
no areas, well, that's fine. But at

01:14:21.440 --> 01:14:24.440
least we'll have a an idea from the 

01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:27.016
staff about the availability of them or

01:14:27.040 --> 01:14:29.655
not availability. And um the the only

01:14:29.679 --> 01:14:31.976
other thing I'd flag Mr. Mayor is that

01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:34.536
if the recommendation comes back and

01:14:34.560 --> 01:14:37.560
there is some positive outcomes, but I'd

01:14:37.600 --> 01:14:40.600
be flagging that the costs attached to

01:14:40.880 --> 01:14:43.880
any recommendations would be met by or

01:14:44.159 --> 01:14:47.159
through or at the next quarterly review.

01:14:47.600 --> 01:14:50.600
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you.

01:14:51.040 --> 01:14:53.976
speaker against

01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:57.000
I'll speak for this part of ground

01:14:57.840 --> 01:14:59.655
fruiting needs to be done as well around

01:14:59.679 --> 01:15:01.736
some of these because I noticed in the

01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:03.976
comments that Panler Sporting Complex

01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:05.655
was mentioned. I was down there this

01:15:05.679 --> 01:15:07.496
morning very early. There's actually

01:15:07.520 --> 01:15:09.175
seven taps available on the outside of

01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:11.175
the building that can be turned on quite

01:15:11.199 --> 01:15:14.135
easily to fill water bottles. So, um I

01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:15.736
think sometimes we don't look what we've

01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:18.056
already got there. Um, and we just need

01:15:18.080 --> 01:15:19.576
to be careful that we not just run

01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:20.695
around putting bubblers when there's

01:15:20.719 --> 01:15:23.175
other forms of containing water out

01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:26.199
them. But I'll support council's motion.

01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:36.376
Clear then  with this report that

01:15:36.400 --> 01:15:38.456
would come back,

01:15:38.480 --> 01:15:41.480
you would consider um a tap essentially

01:15:42.480 --> 01:15:44.536
a bubbler or

01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:45.896
you only got to turn it on to get water.

01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:47.896
Oh, no. I don't know. I I it just

01:15:47.920 --> 01:15:49.816
changed my mind when you said that. So

01:15:49.840 --> 01:15:51.416
like I just I'm putting that on the

01:15:51.440 --> 01:15:54.440
record. Anyway, that's fine.

01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:56.376
Council,

01:15:56.400 --> 01:15:58.776
um I just wanted to thank Tony Allen

01:15:58.800 --> 01:16:01.256
because councelor Allen for this because

01:16:01.280 --> 01:16:04.215
one of the big scourges of our current

01:16:04.239 --> 01:16:07.175
lifestyle are plastic water bottles and

01:16:07.199 --> 01:16:09.175
actually bubblers and taps outside

01:16:09.199 --> 01:16:12.199
sporting grounds. Having those there is

01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:14.056
actually one of the really big things

01:16:14.080 --> 01:16:16.456
that will help remove plastic waste from

01:16:16.480 --> 01:16:18.536
the environment. I've been involved in

01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:20.056
the past on a thing called Green Music

01:16:20.080 --> 01:16:22.135
Australia and this is exactly the sort

01:16:22.159 --> 01:16:24.536
of thing that is now going into planning

01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:26.536
outdoor festivals as a really big

01:16:26.560 --> 01:16:28.856
priority to remove um plastic water

01:16:28.880 --> 01:16:31.096
bottles from dumping in our waste

01:16:31.120 --> 01:16:34.120
facilities.

01:16:34.560 --> 01:16:37.416
Any speaker against council on your

01:16:37.440 --> 01:16:39.416
right reply?

01:16:39.440 --> 01:16:41.016
Thanks for the motion. All those in

01:16:41.040 --> 01:16:44.040
favor carried unanimously.

01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:46.776
Item 4.2 development there. Alice Street

01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:49.655
Car Council Daniel have us different.

01:16:49.679 --> 01:16:52.135
I do I emailed it because I am not great

01:16:52.159 --> 01:16:54.056
on the old um teams thing. So I just

01:16:54.080 --> 01:16:56.056
emailed it to you and said thank you

01:16:56.080 --> 01:16:58.135
very much councelor Porter. I just don't

01:16:58.159 --> 01:16:59.736
like my wording there where it says

01:16:59.760 --> 01:17:02.760
costbenefit analysis be done be

01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:05.256
considered for either Alice Street or

01:17:05.280 --> 01:17:07.016
Palmer Lane. Is that all right if I just

01:17:07.040 --> 01:17:10.040
change that Jackie? be in dot.3 a

01:17:10.320 --> 01:17:12.456
costbenefit analysis be considered for

01:17:12.480 --> 01:17:15.480
either Alice Street or Palmer Lane and

01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:18.215
I'll um

01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:21.239
and I can speak to that Mr. Mayor

01:17:22.080 --> 01:17:24.536
before any questions.

01:17:24.560 --> 01:17:26.376
Oh, no, no, no, no. I've emailed it to

01:17:26.400 --> 01:17:28.776
you, Cummal.

01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:29.175
Just

01:17:29.199 --> 01:17:31.016
Yeah.

01:17:31.040 --> 01:17:31.336
So,

01:17:31.360 --> 01:17:33.416
that council note the Mima CBD master

01:17:33.440 --> 01:17:35.576
plan. The direction was to relocate car

01:17:35.600 --> 01:17:37.816
parks that were lost in Be Street. Two,

01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:39.576
that council commit to neutralizing

01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:41.416
replacing any proposed loss of car parks

01:17:41.440 --> 01:17:44.440
during the CBD upgrades with nearby car

01:17:44.560 --> 01:17:46.536
parks. That if extra parking is required

01:17:46.560 --> 01:17:47.976
as part of the CBD upgrade, a

01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:49.816
costbenefit analysis be done on either

01:17:49.840 --> 01:17:51.896
Alice Street or Palmer Bla car parks for

01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:54.456
tier parking. Thank you.

01:17:54.480 --> 01:17:57.480
And um so councilors, this is a sort of

01:17:58.560 --> 01:17:59.816
an interesting one if you've been around

01:17:59.840 --> 01:18:01.416
council for a long time now. I've got

01:18:01.440 --> 01:18:04.440
the final landscape master plan January

01:18:05.120 --> 01:18:08.120
2015 sitting in front of me and um and

01:18:09.199 --> 01:18:11.336
that was a document that was adopted um

01:18:11.360 --> 01:18:13.576
back then. Um it's great. I'm sure there

01:18:13.600 --> 01:18:16.056
was consultation done. I'm sure you know

01:18:16.080 --> 01:18:18.376
the processes went through um but it was

01:18:18.400 --> 01:18:20.776
just a plan. it was it was adopted and

01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:23.096
should we have gotten um grant funding

01:18:23.120 --> 01:18:25.175
in the future we wanted to proceed with

01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:28.199
different aspects of it. Um since then

01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:30.776
we've done things like transport um

01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.800
studies, parking, traffic um and other

01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:36.856
we even did a review of this landscape

01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:39.880
master plan as well. And one of the one

01:18:40.719 --> 01:18:43.719
of the things that it had in it which I

01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:45.655
think appears to have slipped by the

01:18:45.679 --> 01:18:48.679
wayside here um and I can read it out 

01:18:49.040 --> 01:18:52.040
and that was that we resolved CV parking

01:18:52.480 --> 01:18:54.856
arrangers to relocate

01:18:54.880 --> 01:18:57.880
car parking spaces prior to detailed

01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:01.000
design and implementation of works. So

01:19:01.280 --> 01:19:03.256
for instance um in beach so in the

01:19:03.280 --> 01:19:05.896
original master plan there was an

01:19:05.920 --> 01:19:08.536
existing 55 spaces it says here in beach

01:19:08.560 --> 01:19:11.560
street market street um and the proposed

01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:14.776
was 25 in other words a reduction well

01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:17.800
it actually says relocate 30 spaces

01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:20.920
right here relocate 30 spaces. Um now

01:19:21.520 --> 01:19:23.256
obviously the heat's on at the moment.

01:19:23.280 --> 01:19:25.096
We got some money. We've got some plans

01:19:25.120 --> 01:19:28.120
coming as well. Um you you you 

01:19:28.320 --> 01:19:30.936
councilors were very aware of the recent

01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:33.960
plans. Um we did I did my own count. Um

01:19:34.800 --> 01:19:37.800
I counted negative 52 car parks. Um um

01:19:39.760 --> 01:19:42.536
most of which were from um that Beach

01:19:42.560 --> 01:19:45.560
Street precinct. Um, so the reason why

01:19:45.679 --> 01:19:47.816
I'm putting this motion up is because I

01:19:47.840 --> 01:19:50.296
want to I want to reiterate our

01:19:50.320 --> 01:19:53.175
commitment here that we're not going to

01:19:53.199 --> 01:19:56.199
settle for a reduction in car spaces at

01:19:56.239 --> 01:19:59.096
that part of town. Right? I say that

01:19:59.120 --> 01:20:01.655
part of town because we don't have in

01:20:01.679 --> 01:20:04.296
Mimula a car parking problem across the

01:20:04.320 --> 01:20:07.256
entire CBD. If you go up to say Total

01:20:07.280 --> 01:20:10.056
Tools, Woollies, Aldi, the Club

01:20:10.080 --> 01:20:11.655
Sapphire,

01:20:11.679 --> 01:20:13.576
we've got I think that there's more than

01:20:13.600 --> 01:20:15.736
1,200 or something car parks at that

01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:17.896
side of We don't have a problem with car

01:20:17.920 --> 01:20:20.056
parking up there. Okay, it's fine. The

01:20:20.080 --> 01:20:21.976
problem is if you're elderly, you might

01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:23.256
not have a sticker on your car. You

01:20:23.280 --> 01:20:24.616
might not be, you know, near the

01:20:24.640 --> 01:20:26.616
accessible thing, but we do have a

01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:29.016
higher um percentage of elderly people

01:20:29.040 --> 01:20:31.416
living in the Mimula Chura PB um

01:20:31.440 --> 01:20:33.896
precinct. Um, they do need accessible

01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:35.816
car spaces that are close to whatever

01:20:35.840 --> 01:20:37.655
the destination is that they need to go.

01:20:37.679 --> 01:20:39.096
You talk to the Mingular Chamber of

01:20:39.120 --> 01:20:41.096
Commerce, they will back up those ex

01:20:41.120 --> 01:20:43.256
that exact statement. You're going for a

01:20:43.280 --> 01:20:44.695
coffee at the waterfront or Market

01:20:44.719 --> 01:20:47.416
Street, Mormo's up for dinner, Mezcow or

01:20:47.440 --> 01:20:50.440
Metro, the Superet, you need to park by.

01:20:50.560 --> 01:20:52.056
You can't park at Club Sapphire. You

01:20:52.080 --> 01:20:53.976
can't park up at um Wworth and just

01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:56.616
totle down the street. I can, but a lot

01:20:56.640 --> 01:20:58.456
of people can't, right? And and you

01:20:58.480 --> 01:21:00.856
know, it was interesting cuz councelor

01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:03.576
um Medallia wrote an email earlier this

01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:05.175
week and said, you know, I really think

01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:07.336
that the um access and inclusion

01:21:07.360 --> 01:21:09.016
committee should be considered more and

01:21:09.040 --> 01:21:11.256
consulted more during this process. And

01:21:11.280 --> 01:21:13.175
I think you're absolutely right. Um but

01:21:13.199 --> 01:21:14.856
I would put it to you council medallia,

01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:17.096
it's not just people with disabilities.

01:21:17.120 --> 01:21:19.736
It is people who are mobility impaired.

01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:21.416
So, the reason why I'm putting this up,

01:21:21.440 --> 01:21:23.976
it is for noting that council note in

01:21:24.000 --> 01:21:25.816
the Mingula City master plan, the

01:21:25.840 --> 01:21:27.736
direction was to quote, relocate, I'm

01:21:27.760 --> 01:21:29.336
reading it straight from the master plan

01:21:29.360 --> 01:21:30.776
right now that's in front of me, car

01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:32.936
parks that were lost in Beach Street.

01:21:32.960 --> 01:21:34.856
that council commit to neutralizing

01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:36.776
replacing any proposed losses of car

01:21:36.800 --> 01:21:38.776
parks during the CBD upgrades, the

01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:39.976
process that we're going through at the

01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:42.695
moment, and that if extra parking is

01:21:42.719 --> 01:21:45.496
required, that we can start that process

01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:48.520
of a costbenefit analysis um be done on

01:21:48.880 --> 01:21:51.175
the the Alice Street or Palmer car parks

01:21:51.199 --> 01:21:54.199
for tiered parking. Um I in the in the

01:21:57.199 --> 01:21:59.336
amount that I'm in Mibula as someone who

01:21:59.360 --> 01:22:01.016
you know works has worked in the area

01:22:01.040 --> 01:22:04.040
and lived in the area for decades now um

01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:07.256
I can tell you that things have probably

01:22:07.280 --> 01:22:09.256
never been tougher for businesses in

01:22:09.280 --> 01:22:12.280
that area. Right? The loss of between 20

01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:15.560
and 60 car parks in that part of town

01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:18.376
could be catastrophic.

01:22:18.400 --> 01:22:19.976
That could mean the end of these

01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:21.976
businesses. The end of the businesses

01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:23.736
means the end of jobs. It means the end

01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:26.760
of investment. We will see four lease

01:22:26.960 --> 01:22:29.655
signs popping up everywhere. Um it's a

01:22:29.679 --> 01:22:32.679
butterfly effect and I you know I I

01:22:32.960 --> 01:22:34.215
think about it in terms of we were

01:22:34.239 --> 01:22:35.736
having a discussion before about private

01:22:35.760 --> 01:22:37.496
car park versus public car parking. If

01:22:37.520 --> 01:22:39.816
it can be provided I'd love private car

01:22:39.840 --> 01:22:41.816
parks to be and you can when you're a

01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:43.496
multi-billion dollar organization like

01:22:43.520 --> 01:22:46.215
Woolly's. can provide that car parking

01:22:46.239 --> 01:22:49.239
when you're the news agent, when you're

01:22:49.280 --> 01:22:52.280
Moros, um you know, even the new $10

01:22:52.800 --> 01:22:55.800
million twod hall. It is up to us. This

01:22:55.920 --> 01:22:58.536
is our core business to provide that

01:22:58.560 --> 01:23:01.560
level of amenity in our, you know, one

01:23:01.679 --> 01:23:04.679
of our main tourist towns. So, I hope

01:23:04.880 --> 01:23:06.376
you can vote for this. This is going to

01:23:06.400 --> 01:23:08.536
send a strong message not only to the to

01:23:08.560 --> 01:23:10.695
the project group who are doing who

01:23:10.719 --> 01:23:13.096
going through this process that I'm we

01:23:13.120 --> 01:23:15.816
certainly will not accept um a reduction

01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:18.056
a huge reduction in car parks um at that

01:23:18.080 --> 01:23:19.816
part of town. So you're going to have to

01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:22.840
come up with a plan to reallocate those

01:23:23.120 --> 01:23:25.416
car parks. Um but it sends a strong

01:23:25.440 --> 01:23:27.256
message to the community as well. Don't

01:23:27.280 --> 01:23:29.655
worry, we've got your backs. We're not

01:23:29.679 --> 01:23:31.175
going to go through this process. as

01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:33.576
great as it fabulous these ideas are of

01:23:33.600 --> 01:23:35.816
the greenery here and the playground and

01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:38.056
the re reclaimed land. It's fabulous. I

01:23:38.080 --> 01:23:41.016
love it all. But we that we have an

01:23:41.040 --> 01:23:42.215
obligation that if we're going to

01:23:42.239 --> 01:23:44.856
proceed with this, we adhere to our word

01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:47.655
which is relocate those car parks nearby

01:23:47.679 --> 01:23:49.256
for our residents. So I hope you can

01:23:49.280 --> 01:23:50.135
vote for it.

01:23:50.159 --> 01:23:53.159
Thanks Council. Speaker against

01:23:53.760 --> 01:23:54.536
Hager.

01:23:54.560 --> 01:23:56.856
Um thank you council lady for your

01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:59.880
motion.  so

01:24:01.120 --> 01:24:03.336
I turn my microphone off. Um a couple of

01:24:03.360 --> 01:24:05.175
things. Um council N pointed out that

01:24:05.199 --> 01:24:07.256
there are a lot of  parking spaces 

01:24:07.280 --> 01:24:09.896
further um around Club Sapphire, around

01:24:09.920 --> 01:24:12.920
Wworth, around Aldi. Um the I I'm I'm

01:24:14.080 --> 01:24:17.080
really concerned that um the the

01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:20.135
direction to relocate all every single

01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:22.376
car parking space. The the the the

01:24:22.400 --> 01:24:24.296
straight jacket that puts on the design

01:24:24.320 --> 01:24:26.695
for the CBD if we're neutralizing and

01:24:26.719 --> 01:24:29.336
replacing all car parking space. And I

01:24:29.360 --> 01:24:32.056
am aesthetically opposed to tiered car

01:24:32.080 --> 01:24:34.056
parking in a space like Alice Street

01:24:34.080 --> 01:24:35.976
when um it just, you know, it just it

01:24:36.000 --> 01:24:37.496
just seems to me to be going back to

01:24:37.520 --> 01:24:39.576
20th century solutions when we're

01:24:39.600 --> 01:24:42.456
looking for 21st century design. Um we

01:24:42.480 --> 01:24:45.480
share a I think the council nate and I

01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:47.496
share a view of what Beach Street could

01:24:47.520 --> 01:24:50.520
be, how how how this um could um further

01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:53.960
develop the precinct. I think as as far

01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:57.239
as um access to  car parking spaces

01:24:57.280 --> 01:24:59.096
for people with access  issues,

01:24:59.120 --> 01:25:01.016
Clamadali was right to raise that um

01:25:01.040 --> 01:25:03.096
access and inclusion committee should be

01:25:03.120 --> 01:25:06.120
involved in this. Um but one of the

01:25:06.239 --> 01:25:07.736
things you need to do is reduce the

01:25:07.760 --> 01:25:09.256
number of cars on the street if you want

01:25:09.280 --> 01:25:11.655
to make it safer for old people to to

01:25:11.679 --> 01:25:14.536
access to access shops and then provide

01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:16.615
um a higher percentage of disabled

01:25:16.639 --> 01:25:19.639
parking for example or um pick up put

01:25:19.679 --> 01:25:22.135
down places. This is this isn't done by

01:25:22.159 --> 01:25:24.215
putting a massive tiered car park in

01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:26.856
Alice Street. So I would urge I would

01:25:26.880 --> 01:25:28.376
urge councils to vote against this

01:25:28.400 --> 01:25:29.896
motion.

01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:31.976
Councelor Hag speaker for

01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:33.496
Yes, I will. Council Porter.

01:25:33.520 --> 01:25:34.776
Um look, I don't have a lot to say

01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:36.695
because I think  councelor Naiden said

01:25:36.719 --> 01:25:38.376
a lot of it, but I I want to make the

01:25:38.400 --> 01:25:40.695
points um first of all that this is

01:25:40.719 --> 01:25:43.416
talking about Alice Street and Palmer

01:25:43.440 --> 01:25:45.576
Lane and just looking what the options

01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:48.600
are. So, this is not a motion to say,

01:25:48.800 --> 01:25:50.456
you know, get the picks and shovels out.

01:25:50.480 --> 01:25:52.296
We're going to build a car park. It is

01:25:52.320 --> 01:25:55.320
acknowledging that um there should not

01:25:56.239 --> 01:25:58.296
be a loss in parking and there should be

01:25:58.320 --> 01:26:00.376
sufficient parking and we should be

01:26:00.400 --> 01:26:02.615
doing the work to make sure that parking

01:26:02.639 --> 01:26:05.639
exists. Um, the other comment I want to

01:26:05.760 --> 01:26:08.376
make is that I think we should be very

01:26:08.400 --> 01:26:11.016
careful when we talk about mobility

01:26:11.040 --> 01:26:13.496
parking spots and the mobility parking

01:26:13.520 --> 01:26:16.520
scheme because to be able to access and

01:26:18.400 --> 01:26:21.400
hold a mobility parking permit, you need

01:26:22.159 --> 01:26:24.936
to be not able to walk more than I think

01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:27.960
it's 50 m umpermanently every day all

01:26:29.280 --> 01:26:32.280
the time. So, um elderly people or or

01:26:33.440 --> 01:26:36.440
even people in their um

01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:39.960
mid years um that have  certain

01:26:40.800 --> 01:26:43.416
physical problems that may come and go

01:26:43.440 --> 01:26:45.736
that may mean that they can have a

01:26:45.760 --> 01:26:48.760
certain level of activity but do not

01:26:48.880 --> 01:26:51.256
achieve that that level that is deal

01:26:51.280 --> 01:26:54.280
with with disabled spots can be

01:26:54.320 --> 01:26:56.456
sufficiently disabled that they couldn't

01:26:56.480 --> 01:26:58.776
walk from Aldi down the hill and up the

01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:01.800
hill to go down to the news agent, but

01:27:02.159 --> 01:27:05.159
yet the government doesn't see them as

01:27:05.360 --> 01:27:07.736
fitting into this tight criteria for

01:27:07.760 --> 01:27:10.695
mobility spots. So, I just want to say

01:27:10.719 --> 01:27:13.256
when we look at our the profile of the

01:27:13.280 --> 01:27:15.736
of the people, we are dealing there and

01:27:15.760 --> 01:27:17.976
I could give exact personal examples

01:27:18.000 --> 01:27:19.816
about this, but I don't think it's

01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:21.655
necessary. When we are looking at the

01:27:21.679 --> 01:27:23.496
profile of the people who do go to

01:27:23.520 --> 01:27:26.135
Mimula, who do rely on going to the

01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:28.215
local news agents or whatever, they're a

01:27:28.239 --> 01:27:30.456
little bit careful that we don't pigeon

01:27:30.480 --> 01:27:33.480
hole everybody as a a mobility person or

01:27:33.760 --> 01:27:36.376
a an athlete that we have a whole lot of

01:27:36.400 --> 01:27:38.856
area in the middle. And I just like us

01:27:38.880 --> 01:27:40.776
to make sure that we do have

01:27:40.800 --> 01:27:42.936
satisfactory car parking. So that's why

01:27:42.960 --> 01:27:44.776
I'm supporting the motion. Thank you.

01:27:44.800 --> 01:27:47.800
Thanks, Council Porter. Speaker against

01:27:48.080 --> 01:27:50.936
councelor Daly. I'll just speak briefly

01:27:50.960 --> 01:27:53.960
against um councelor Niden points out

01:27:54.480 --> 01:27:57.256
that it's been a long road with various

01:27:57.280 --> 01:27:59.736
assessments and reports  around how

01:27:59.760 --> 01:28:01.896
we're going to change proposed to change

01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.920
the marula CBD and even prior to today

01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:07.736
councelor Nadin has has pointed out you

01:28:07.760 --> 01:28:09.816
know we've been working on the these

01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:11.816
changes to the CBD for years and years

01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:14.615
and years we were at a point where we

01:28:14.639 --> 01:28:17.639
were looking at potential trial for

01:28:17.760 --> 01:28:20.215
different changes which included you

01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:22.936
know monitoring of traffic flows before,

01:28:22.960 --> 01:28:24.936
during and after those change that that

01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:27.960
proposed trial. We had a workshop where

01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:31.000
we went you know street by street just

01:28:31.280 --> 01:28:34.135
about  corner by corner with different

01:28:34.159 --> 01:28:36.135
considerations, different counselors

01:28:36.159 --> 01:28:39.159
putting um suggestions forward for that.

01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:41.416
So the original plan there has already

01:28:41.440 --> 01:28:44.440
been perhaps diluted in its potential um

01:28:44.639 --> 01:28:47.639
effectiveness. Um and and there's been

01:28:50.400 --> 01:28:52.776
 a number of different pedestrian

01:28:52.800 --> 01:28:55.800
friendly sort of measures included. Um,

01:28:55.840 --> 01:28:58.840
I am skeptical that after all that work,

01:28:59.199 --> 01:29:00.936
we start to go down the path of a

01:29:00.960 --> 01:29:03.816
multi-story car park that those the

01:29:03.840 --> 01:29:05.256
trials that we was talking about

01:29:05.280 --> 01:29:07.576
implementing suddenly are invalidated

01:29:07.600 --> 01:29:09.736
because it's not the same CBD that those

01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:12.760
trials were set up to um to accommodate.

01:29:13.600 --> 01:29:15.736
You've got way more cars, way more

01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:18.760
people. Um, and I there's also the

01:29:18.880 --> 01:29:20.615
consideration of cost. So, I just don't

01:29:20.639 --> 01:29:22.615
know that going down this path, you

01:29:22.639 --> 01:29:25.016
know, and and this doing a a quick

01:29:25.040 --> 01:29:27.336
Google on a multi-story car park. Cost

01:29:27.360 --> 01:29:29.496
per space could be anywhere up to

01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:32.520
50,000. Now, I'm no parking expert, but

01:29:32.560 --> 01:29:34.615
up from that, um, so what are we looking

01:29:34.639 --> 01:29:36.936
at? 5 million, $10 million for a

01:29:36.960 --> 01:29:39.016
cashstrapped council and a resourced

01:29:39.040 --> 01:29:41.655
council. Um I'm just not sure that it's

01:29:41.679 --> 01:29:44.536
worth pursuing this when we're already

01:29:44.560 --> 01:29:47.560
looking at trying to do um a trial of

01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:50.456
changing the marula CBD while we are

01:29:50.480 --> 01:29:52.615
then throwing considering throwing a

01:29:52.639 --> 01:29:54.296
multi-story car park in which goes

01:29:54.320 --> 01:29:56.215
against the nature of that trial. 

01:29:56.239 --> 01:29:58.615
just doesn't make sense to me.

01:29:58.639 --> 01:30:01.096
Thanks speaker Paul.

01:30:01.120 --> 01:30:04.120
Speaker four. Any other speaker four

01:30:04.480 --> 01:30:05.256
against

01:30:05.280 --> 01:30:05.816
against?

01:30:05.840 --> 01:30:08.456
Yeah.

01:30:08.480 --> 01:30:09.976
Two 42 against but I need another

01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:11.175
speaker four before I can provide

01:30:11.199 --> 01:30:12.536
another one against there's no other

01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:14.776
speaker for council I'll give you right

01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:15.896
reply.

01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:18.056
Thank you Mr. Mayor. Um yeah look just

01:30:18.080 --> 01:30:20.936
to clarify here this is for noting

01:30:20.960 --> 01:30:23.960
councelor daily that the direction of

01:30:24.320 --> 01:30:27.320
the CBD master plan was to reallocate

01:30:28.400 --> 01:30:31.400
those car spots that we taketh away.

01:30:32.239 --> 01:30:33.976
So the plan that you had the other day

01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:36.456
the presentation that you were given was

01:30:36.480 --> 01:30:39.480
going to take away about 50 car spaces.

01:30:40.400 --> 01:30:43.400
Now that's something that you is if

01:30:44.080 --> 01:30:45.816
you're comfortable to go out to the

01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:48.135
community order. Councilwoman,

01:30:48.159 --> 01:30:51.159
the motion.

01:30:52.080 --> 01:30:53.976
I I'll need your guidance on this.

01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:55.496
I I'll need your guidance on this, Mr.

01:30:55.520 --> 01:30:58.520
Mayor. Just a technical point. I thought

01:30:58.639 --> 01:31:00.456
we were committed to upgrading the

01:31:00.480 --> 01:31:03.480
master plan from the 2015 one to a new

01:31:04.480 --> 01:31:07.480
one. So, so that the motion reference to

01:31:07.679 --> 01:31:09.736
the master plan is incorrect.

01:31:09.760 --> 01:31:11.175
Point of order.

01:31:11.199 --> 01:31:11.496
Sorry.

01:31:11.520 --> 01:31:12.376
Point of order, council.

01:31:12.400 --> 01:31:13.976
Point of order. So, we we heard earlier

01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:15.496
from the director through you, Mr.

01:31:15.520 --> 01:31:16.615
Mayor. We heard earlier from the

01:31:16.639 --> 01:31:19.016
director that that it wouldn't be

01:31:19.040 --> 01:31:21.175
anywhere near 50. There's a loss of car

01:31:21.199 --> 01:31:24.199
park spaces. So just to clarif

01:31:25.840 --> 01:31:28.215
um I have a an email from the CEO that

01:31:28.239 --> 01:31:31.239
it was about 50. So um we've got a plan

01:31:32.320 --> 01:31:35.320
put to us by staff at the moment that

01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:38.376
we're going to reduce that previous

01:31:38.400 --> 01:31:40.376
plan. And yes, I know we've taken issue

01:31:40.400 --> 01:31:42.135
with it now. We've taken issue with it.

01:31:42.159 --> 01:31:43.655
We've sent it back to the drawing board

01:31:43.679 --> 01:31:45.496
and we said we're not going to pursue

01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:47.896
this plan. It would have taken away 50

01:31:47.920 --> 01:31:50.920
car spaces. Now, what I'm suggesting

01:31:51.360 --> 01:31:53.816
here, councelor Daily, I'm not sure why

01:31:53.840 --> 01:31:55.576
this is confusing. What I'm suggesting

01:31:55.600 --> 01:31:57.496
is while staff go back to the drawing

01:31:57.520 --> 01:32:00.215
board and they're looking at a revised

01:32:00.239 --> 01:32:02.856
plan to bring back to council that they

01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:05.880
take note of this that they need to look

01:32:06.080 --> 01:32:07.576
have a plan. It doesn't mean we don't

01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:09.336
need to get, as Council Porter said, a

01:32:09.360 --> 01:32:10.695
little picss out and start cutting

01:32:10.719 --> 01:32:13.336
checks for tiered parking. It just means

01:32:13.360 --> 01:32:15.816
that they need to be conscious that at

01:32:15.840 --> 01:32:18.376
this point in time, we have said we want

01:32:18.400 --> 01:32:20.456
them to relocate those car parks to

01:32:20.480 --> 01:32:22.536
somewhere else because those car parks

01:32:22.560 --> 01:32:24.296
are needed for the town. I'm not talking

01:32:24.320 --> 01:32:26.615
about hundreds of car parks. I'm talking

01:32:26.639 --> 01:32:29.639
about dozens of car parks to replace the

01:32:30.400 --> 01:32:33.016
ones that we take away. Now, let's just

01:32:33.040 --> 01:32:34.536
say that they come back to us with a

01:32:34.560 --> 01:32:37.336
lovely plan that has zero loss of car

01:32:37.360 --> 01:32:40.215
parking. Well, then this is a completely

01:32:40.239 --> 01:32:42.215
moot point. We won't need to look at

01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:43.896
anything else. We won't need to look at

01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:46.615
extra um at tiered car parking because

01:32:46.639 --> 01:32:49.016
there won't be a net loss.

01:32:49.040 --> 01:32:51.336
So, I think it's really important that

01:32:51.360 --> 01:32:53.256
people acknowledge what what I'm trying

01:32:53.280 --> 01:32:55.336
to get at here. We're going through a

01:32:55.360 --> 01:32:58.360
process at the moment of essentially

01:32:58.719 --> 01:33:01.719
sculpting a new parking and traffic plan

01:33:02.400 --> 01:33:05.400
for the town and all indications over

01:33:05.760 --> 01:33:07.816
the years have said that there will be a

01:33:07.840 --> 01:33:09.816
reduction in parking. Now, if you are

01:33:09.840 --> 01:33:11.576
okay with that, I understand council

01:33:11.600 --> 01:33:12.856
Hager's point. He has a different

01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:14.936
worldview than than me, so that that's

01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:17.736
fine. I I I take that point. Um, but if

01:33:17.760 --> 01:33:20.215
you're okay with a reduction in parking

01:33:20.239 --> 01:33:23.016
for one of our main tourist towns, then

01:33:23.040 --> 01:33:25.976
fine. Say it loud and proud because I

01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:27.655
know that I will be saying it loud and

01:33:27.679 --> 01:33:30.296
proud as well. But I know the challenges

01:33:30.320 --> 01:33:33.016
this area has with its economy and its

01:33:33.040 --> 01:33:34.376
businesses. I know that they need

01:33:34.400 --> 01:33:36.536
parking. I know the challenges that we

01:33:36.560 --> 01:33:39.336
have with a lack of public transport in

01:33:39.360 --> 01:33:41.256
this area. You can't just get on a happy

01:33:41.280 --> 01:33:43.256
little bus and and head into town. We

01:33:43.280 --> 01:33:46.280
are a car driving area. We need car

01:33:46.880 --> 01:33:49.175
spaces so that we can park in town

01:33:49.199 --> 01:33:51.256
because if we don't, we will just go to

01:33:51.280 --> 01:33:53.256
another town that does have proper

01:33:53.280 --> 01:33:56.215
parking. Um, and I know that we have

01:33:56.239 --> 01:33:59.016
challenges around mobility in this

01:33:59.040 --> 01:34:00.536
shire.

01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:02.615
And that's what this is saying. We're

01:34:02.639 --> 01:34:05.096
saying that we acknowledge all of that

01:34:05.120 --> 01:34:07.016
and that we're saying to the public and

01:34:07.040 --> 01:34:08.776
the business community that we

01:34:08.800 --> 01:34:10.776
acknowledge all that and we will do our

01:34:10.800 --> 01:34:13.016
best to neutralize the impact of those

01:34:13.040 --> 01:34:16.040
 of of of these upgrades. Thank you.

01:34:22.719 --> 01:34:24.936
I'll put the motion, but I would have

01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:26.296
loved to have the opportunity to reply

01:34:26.320 --> 01:34:27.576
to a few of the things you've said

01:34:27.600 --> 01:34:29.976
there, but anyway, just the code of

01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:31.416
medium practice doesn't allow me to do

01:34:31.440 --> 01:34:33.336
that. So I can't do it. Put the motion.

01:34:33.360 --> 01:34:35.416
All those in favor

01:34:35.440 --> 01:34:38.440
council Porter, councelor Noa, councelor

01:34:38.639 --> 01:34:40.776
Nadin, those against. Councelor Hager,

01:34:40.800 --> 01:34:42.536
council Allen, Council Fpatrick, Council

01:34:42.560 --> 01:34:45.256
New Council Dalia, Councelor Daly. The

01:34:45.280 --> 01:34:47.096
motion's lost.

01:34:47.120 --> 01:34:50.120
Item 14.3 C bridge design a new council

01:34:52.560 --> 01:34:55.560
daily. Your motion have a second council

01:34:59.440 --> 01:35:01.256
council. Any questions to the CEO? or

01:35:01.280 --> 01:35:02.856
anyone about the motion to start with

01:35:02.880 --> 01:35:05.256
council Hag

01:35:05.280 --> 01:35:06.856
the CEO and the director through you Mr.

01:35:06.880 --> 01:35:09.880
Mayor um I've discussed bridge timbers

01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:11.976
with the pre with um Andrew's

01:35:12.000 --> 01:35:14.296
predecessor and other staff and there

01:35:14.320 --> 01:35:17.320
was some concern about um health and the

01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:19.256
chemicals that are used to treat those

01:35:19.280 --> 01:35:21.096
timbers. I wonder whether that is an

01:35:21.120 --> 01:35:24.120
issue here

01:35:25.040 --> 01:35:27.576
through Mr. where there is potential and

01:35:27.600 --> 01:35:29.175
I think part of what we would do in

01:35:29.199 --> 01:35:30.615
implementing this is understand what

01:35:30.639 --> 01:35:32.936
timber might be available

01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:34.376
whether there's any work health and

01:35:34.400 --> 01:35:36.296
safety related or public safety

01:35:36.320 --> 01:35:38.456
constraints with associated with using

01:35:38.480 --> 01:35:41.480
the timber as described and in addition

01:35:42.320 --> 01:35:44.056
to that also understanding out of the

01:35:44.080 --> 01:35:46.376
timber what might be salvageable for

01:35:46.400 --> 01:35:48.615
reuse and

01:35:48.639 --> 01:35:50.695
what I'm alluding to here is sometimes

01:35:50.719 --> 01:35:53.655
with timber bridges superficially they

01:35:53.679 --> 01:35:55.016
can look like there's a good piece of

01:35:55.040 --> 01:35:55.976
timber

01:35:56.000 --> 01:35:58.296
But timber rots from the inside out. So

01:35:58.320 --> 01:36:00.936
even um sort of an external inspection

01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:02.135
might make you think there's more timber

01:36:02.159 --> 01:36:03.576
available to do something with. So there

01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:06.135
would be a lot of work in understanding

01:36:06.159 --> 01:36:08.056
exactly what compoNadints could be used

01:36:08.080 --> 01:36:10.056
and in what way, but I wouldn't be

01:36:10.080 --> 01:36:12.376
concerned that they aren't things that

01:36:12.400 --> 01:36:13.816
couldn't be worked through if this

01:36:13.840 --> 01:36:15.655
motion did get supported.

01:36:15.679 --> 01:36:17.816
Thanks for sir. Okay. Can I just ask a

01:36:17.840 --> 01:36:18.936
question around our current timber

01:36:18.960 --> 01:36:21.576
policy? Obviously over the last 3 years

01:36:21.600 --> 01:36:23.175
we've replaced only like 13 timber

01:36:23.199 --> 01:36:25.096
bridges. What's the policy been with the

01:36:25.120 --> 01:36:26.536
timber from those bridges and do we

01:36:26.560 --> 01:36:29.560
bring them into our workshops for reuse

01:36:29.600 --> 01:36:32.296
under our policy?

01:36:32.320 --> 01:36:35.320
So through Mr. Mayor, um we we don't

01:36:35.840 --> 01:36:38.056
have a policy. We have a operating

01:36:38.080 --> 01:36:41.080
practice of trying to reuse

01:36:41.840 --> 01:36:43.496
materials wherever we can, recycle,

01:36:43.520 --> 01:36:45.016
reuse wherever we can. We don't have a

01:36:45.040 --> 01:36:47.175
policy on what we do with timber. We

01:36:47.199 --> 01:36:49.256
have typically in the past though tried

01:36:49.280 --> 01:36:52.280
to salvage timber for reuse in

01:36:53.040 --> 01:36:56.040
structures where where it's feasible to

01:36:56.080 --> 01:36:58.536
do so. And again in assessing a a bridge

01:36:58.560 --> 01:36:59.976
like this it's got a lot of timber in

01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:01.576
it. Some of it might be of value to

01:37:01.600 --> 01:37:03.576
reuse for

01:37:03.600 --> 01:37:05.175
repairing other bridges and some of it

01:37:05.199 --> 01:37:08.135
may not and be more usable for things

01:37:08.159 --> 01:37:09.896
like what's suggested here. So I guess

01:37:09.920 --> 01:37:11.016
what I'm saying is we don't have a clear

01:37:11.040 --> 01:37:12.695
policy position. And if council gave us

01:37:12.719 --> 01:37:15.416
direction to say we want to reuse this

01:37:15.440 --> 01:37:16.936
timber in a different way to what you

01:37:16.960 --> 01:37:18.615
typically do as staff then we can

01:37:18.639 --> 01:37:19.655
accommodate that.

01:37:19.679 --> 01:37:21.736
So can I use the Marab Brian bridge for

01:37:21.760 --> 01:37:23.496
example the one opposite the Kbago pub

01:37:23.520 --> 01:37:25.416
that's just been replaced the timbers

01:37:25.440 --> 01:37:28.056
there was that part of the contract um

01:37:28.080 --> 01:37:30.456
to build the new bridge and the cost was

01:37:30.480 --> 01:37:31.896
built into the contract to remove the

01:37:31.920 --> 01:37:33.816
existing structure and would this

01:37:33.840 --> 01:37:36.215
contract be similar

01:37:36.239 --> 01:37:37.736
through Mr. May I'd have to take on

01:37:37.760 --> 01:37:39.175
notice exactly what we did with the

01:37:39.199 --> 01:37:40.615
timber in that project. What I can talk

01:37:40.639 --> 01:37:42.615
about is what we might typically do with

01:37:42.639 --> 01:37:45.639
projects where we are renewing timber

01:37:45.679 --> 01:37:47.976
bridges or replacing them. In some

01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:49.896
circumstances, we might get more

01:37:49.920 --> 01:37:52.920
specific and say that as part of the

01:37:53.440 --> 01:37:55.976
demolition process, we want timber

01:37:56.000 --> 01:37:57.976
salvaged and returned to council that we

01:37:58.000 --> 01:37:59.416
might have identified. There might be

01:37:59.440 --> 01:38:01.976
other cases where we say

01:38:02.000 --> 01:38:04.856
full disposal is up to the contractor

01:38:04.880 --> 01:38:07.655
and then they may um dispose of some of

01:38:07.679 --> 01:38:10.679
it through um

01:38:11.600 --> 01:38:13.576
more waste disposal if it's not worth

01:38:13.600 --> 01:38:15.976
salvaging or they may say sell it into

01:38:16.000 --> 01:38:17.256
other markets and I've certainly

01:38:17.280 --> 01:38:19.976
experienced in the past

01:38:20.000 --> 01:38:23.000
 timber being resold after a bridge

01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:25.655
has been timber bridge has been

01:38:25.679 --> 01:38:28.615
decommissioned at quite high value for

01:38:28.639 --> 01:38:31.639
architectural um purposes. So there is a

01:38:32.159 --> 01:38:33.976
value associated with good quality

01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:35.976
hardwood timber that's aged like some of

01:38:36.000 --> 01:38:38.135
this is. But at the same time till you

01:38:38.159 --> 01:38:39.896
really understand the quality it's it's

01:38:39.920 --> 01:38:41.655
unclear because what I'm alluding to is

01:38:41.679 --> 01:38:43.655
there's flexibility in solutions. I

01:38:43.679 --> 01:38:45.256
can't recall exactly what we did on that

01:38:45.280 --> 01:38:47.736
project but over time we'll have a

01:38:47.760 --> 01:38:50.456
mixture of what we've done with timber.

01:38:50.480 --> 01:38:52.615
So my next question basically relates to

01:38:52.639 --> 01:38:54.135
actually that timber the national

01:38:54.159 --> 01:38:56.536
circularity center must be built on 90%

01:38:56.560 --> 01:38:59.496
or 80% recycled materials and I know

01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:01.256
they were chasing timber at some stages.

01:39:01.280 --> 01:39:03.175
Do you know whether they've actually got

01:39:03.199 --> 01:39:05.576
enough timber to build the process that

01:39:05.600 --> 01:39:06.936
they wanted?

01:39:06.960 --> 01:39:08.936
True, Mr. Mayor. I'm not completely sure

01:39:08.960 --> 01:39:10.695
whether they've been able to source all

01:39:10.719 --> 01:39:12.615
of the um hardwood timber they were

01:39:12.639 --> 01:39:14.215
chasing for their development. do know

01:39:14.239 --> 01:39:15.576
that they have inquired with us

01:39:15.600 --> 01:39:17.256
previously though about trying to source

01:39:17.280 --> 01:39:19.976
some or see whether council had any

01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:21.416
surplus timber they might be able to

01:39:21.440 --> 01:39:24.296
access. Our response to date had been

01:39:24.320 --> 01:39:26.376
not really no because we were reusing

01:39:26.400 --> 01:39:28.776
for our own purposes any timber that was

01:39:28.800 --> 01:39:31.800
of use and the answer with cuty bridge

01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:33.816
had been we can't commit to a time frame

01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:36.215
yet anyway even if we were going to be

01:39:36.239 --> 01:39:38.135
able to offer that for use at that

01:39:38.159 --> 01:39:40.936
location and they are moving along with

01:39:40.960 --> 01:39:43.095
that project as far as I'm aware that

01:39:43.119 --> 01:39:45.736
may mean the timing of cottagey

01:39:45.760 --> 01:39:47.655
demolition would be too late for their

01:39:47.679 --> 01:39:48.695
use anyway

01:39:48.719 --> 01:39:50.936
thank you else any further questions

01:39:50.960 --> 01:39:53.016
before I hand the motion Council Daly.

01:39:53.040 --> 01:39:54.376
No further questions. Councelor Daly,

01:39:54.400 --> 01:39:55.976
your motion.

01:39:56.000 --> 01:39:58.456
Thanks, Mr. Mayor. , this motion

01:39:58.480 --> 01:40:01.480
really is to make  the most of the sal

01:40:01.760 --> 01:40:04.215
salvageable timber from Kadiy Bridge.

01:40:04.239 --> 01:40:06.695
Um, our DCP, as it says there, ,

01:40:06.719 --> 01:40:08.456
requires a management plan to be

01:40:08.480 --> 01:40:10.135
developed when there's a demolition of

01:40:10.159 --> 01:40:13.159
an asset. Um, and as was mentioned by,

01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:17.000
, the CEO, there's there's, you know,

01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:19.736
instances in which that timber is

01:40:19.760 --> 01:40:22.760
auctioned off. Um, and I think we have

01:40:23.520 --> 01:40:25.576
an asset here. We've made our the

01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:27.336
decision has been made by council for

01:40:27.360 --> 01:40:30.360
what the new bridge will be. Um, let's

01:40:30.560 --> 01:40:33.016
take the opportunity  to get a report

01:40:33.040 --> 01:40:35.175
back from staff and make the most of

01:40:35.199 --> 01:40:37.816
that timber. And I I hear us talking a

01:40:37.840 --> 01:40:40.376
lot about um

01:40:40.400 --> 01:40:41.976
 what what will be done with that

01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:44.936
timber in terms of um being whether it's

01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:47.016
the developer who wants to retain it or

01:40:47.040 --> 01:40:49.256
where how we retain it. But given it's a

01:40:49.280 --> 01:40:51.095
such a community asset, taking an

01:40:51.119 --> 01:40:53.175
opportunity to get a report back around

01:40:53.199 --> 01:40:55.095
how it could be used for aesthetic

01:40:55.119 --> 01:40:57.095
purposes and signage as well as possibly

01:40:57.119 --> 01:41:00.119
public art. Um, , whether that's

01:41:00.239 --> 01:41:02.056
information boards as well, seating

01:41:02.080 --> 01:41:04.695
around the cottage precinct, I think is

01:41:04.719 --> 01:41:06.856
is really important here. It's not just

01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:08.296
a case of well once the bridge is

01:41:08.320 --> 01:41:09.976
demolished, who's where's the timber go,

01:41:10.000 --> 01:41:11.736
who looks after it, who sells it on.

01:41:11.760 --> 01:41:13.496
There's the community aspect and the

01:41:13.520 --> 01:41:16.520
people around the around Kadaji Barraay

01:41:16.960 --> 01:41:19.960
Bagui were very very clear on their

01:41:20.080 --> 01:41:22.056
attachment to the bridge that was that's

01:41:22.080 --> 01:41:25.080
been um made clear through community

01:41:25.360 --> 01:41:27.175
groups and through the surveys. So

01:41:27.199 --> 01:41:29.175
really what I'm looking for here is that

01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:31.256
we take the time to consider how it's

01:41:31.280 --> 01:41:33.016
best used. And something that's not

01:41:33.040 --> 01:41:34.695
included in the notice of motion, but I

01:41:34.719 --> 01:41:37.175
hope would be considered for um the

01:41:37.199 --> 01:41:40.199
report back is also if if we can

01:41:40.239 --> 01:41:41.896
identify that there's a a significant

01:41:41.920 --> 01:41:44.056
amount significant amount of salvageable

01:41:44.080 --> 01:41:46.615
timber, we use it for those aesthetic

01:41:46.639 --> 01:41:49.639
purposes um and there's still  a a

01:41:50.960 --> 01:41:52.936
fair amount left that council might be

01:41:52.960 --> 01:41:55.896
in a position to um have that auctioned

01:41:55.920 --> 01:41:58.456
off and potentially use the funds. And

01:41:58.480 --> 01:42:01.480
this is just ana an example, but to help

01:42:02.080 --> 01:42:05.080
fund that Barra Bay Kadagi Road precinct

01:42:05.920 --> 01:42:07.976
study that councelor Hagar has mentioned

01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:11.000
before, we're dealing with the bridge um

01:42:11.760 --> 01:42:13.736
and it needs to be addressed. But that

01:42:13.760 --> 01:42:16.760
whole precinct um is under threat from

01:42:17.040 --> 01:42:19.896
 coastal  inundation. if there's

01:42:19.920 --> 01:42:21.576
water going across the road getting into

01:42:21.600 --> 01:42:23.655
residential properties. There's a whole

01:42:23.679 --> 01:42:25.736
range of things there where you know if

01:42:25.760 --> 01:42:28.760
that road fails um what the impacts

01:42:28.880 --> 01:42:31.016
potential impacts are I know there's a

01:42:31.040 --> 01:42:32.536
small amount of funding um in the

01:42:32.560 --> 01:42:35.560
funding deed put aside for the bridge 

01:42:37.119 --> 01:42:38.856
approaches I think for a study around

01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:41.496
the bridge approaches but it's it's a

01:42:41.520 --> 01:42:43.336
potential way that we can actually fund

01:42:43.360 --> 01:42:45.416
a more detailed um study for the

01:42:45.440 --> 01:42:48.440
precinct. So, um it's it's really just a

01:42:49.040 --> 01:42:50.695
report back. It aligns with what we

01:42:50.719 --> 01:42:53.719
already do within the DCP. Um and just

01:42:54.080 --> 01:42:56.695
gives us a chance to say, you know, um

01:42:56.719 --> 01:42:58.615
what happens to Cottagey Bridge once

01:42:58.639 --> 01:43:01.336
it's gone and and how it might be um the

01:43:01.360 --> 01:43:03.095
timbers be best used and the sale of

01:43:03.119 --> 01:43:05.416
those timbers potentially best used. So,

01:43:05.440 --> 01:43:07.576
I would encourage you very strongly um

01:43:07.600 --> 01:43:10.600
to vote for the motion. Thank you.

01:43:10.639 --> 01:43:13.639
Thanks. Speaker against

01:43:15.199 --> 01:43:18.199
speaker for second speaker for council.

01:43:19.280 --> 01:43:21.816
Um I I like this motion not only because

01:43:21.840 --> 01:43:24.840
of the good reuse of of timber but also

01:43:25.360 --> 01:43:27.256
to the point that councelor Daly made

01:43:27.280 --> 01:43:30.056
about the precinct around here. Um we're

01:43:30.080 --> 01:43:32.456
losing an enormous asset. It's of

01:43:32.480 --> 01:43:34.376
aesthetic value but it's also the basis

01:43:34.400 --> 01:43:37.256
for people's use of the area. And this

01:43:37.280 --> 01:43:38.695
is the sort of issue that should be

01:43:38.719 --> 01:43:40.456
coming up in the detailed designing

01:43:40.480 --> 01:43:42.056
process.

01:43:42.080 --> 01:43:44.615
Um

01:43:44.639 --> 01:43:47.639
there's a if we have a 12.5 m wide

01:43:48.560 --> 01:43:50.776
bridge across there, it fundamentally

01:43:50.800 --> 01:43:53.256
changes people's use of the area.

01:43:53.280 --> 01:43:55.095
anything that can actually sort of

01:43:55.119 --> 01:43:58.056
improve a access, make it a good reason

01:43:58.080 --> 01:44:00.536
to work out whatever way you all will

01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:03.175
have to get to the lake with a 12.5

01:44:03.199 --> 01:44:05.896
meter wide concrete bridge is definitely

01:44:05.920 --> 01:44:08.376
worth looking at. Um, and it very much,

01:44:08.400 --> 01:44:11.336
as councelor Daly says, goes to the

01:44:11.360 --> 01:44:13.256
point that the community is losing

01:44:13.280 --> 01:44:14.615
something that it's been an integral

01:44:14.639 --> 01:44:17.639
part of the landscape um, since 1890. So

01:44:19.199 --> 01:44:20.776
we should actually treat that with

01:44:20.800 --> 01:44:23.800
respect and see what we can to keep the

01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:25.655
heritage of it.

01:44:25.679 --> 01:44:27.976
Thanks C. Now I'll just briefly speak

01:44:28.000 --> 01:44:30.376
against it then just to give council

01:44:30.400 --> 01:44:33.175
daily a write a reply. Um I think

01:44:33.199 --> 01:44:35.256
sometimes this ends up bigger than Ben

01:44:35.280 --> 01:44:37.336
her these sort of issues and I I commend

01:44:37.360 --> 01:44:39.736
him on having his motion to you know try

01:44:39.760 --> 01:44:41.336
and do something to satisfy the

01:44:41.360 --> 01:44:44.056
community. But we also tried to do that

01:44:44.080 --> 01:44:46.215
in a bridge. I think it was had initials

01:44:46.239 --> 01:44:48.215
PP and those that have been here long

01:44:48.239 --> 01:44:50.936
enough and went through that trials and

01:44:50.960 --> 01:44:53.960
tri council and aid and laughing counc

01:44:56.560 --> 01:44:58.856
and where we saved some trusses and put

01:44:58.880 --> 01:45:00.056
them on the side of the road and said

01:45:00.080 --> 01:45:01.256
they're going to be attached. Well,

01:45:01.280 --> 01:45:02.936
today they're still sitting in the

01:45:02.960 --> 01:45:05.655
paddic. They're rotting and nothing's

01:45:05.679 --> 01:45:08.456
happening. So, that's no fault. That's

01:45:08.480 --> 01:45:09.976
just the way it ended up. So, I'm always

01:45:10.000 --> 01:45:11.896
weary when we say we're going to do this

01:45:11.920 --> 01:45:14.536
and do that. um we should be actually

01:45:14.560 --> 01:45:16.615
getting the design and the tender out to

01:45:16.639 --> 01:45:18.296
start with for the bridge and then

01:45:18.320 --> 01:45:20.376
deciding if this is an option then

01:45:20.400 --> 01:45:22.376
that's my personal opinion. I fully

01:45:22.400 --> 01:45:23.896
compliment councelor Daly. I'm not

01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:25.336
trying to argue the point with you over

01:45:25.360 --> 01:45:27.736
anything here. Um that's just my

01:45:27.760 --> 01:45:29.256
personal opinion how we should take go

01:45:29.280 --> 01:45:31.016
about it. So thank you councelor Daly

01:45:31.040 --> 01:45:32.695
for your motion. Councelor Daly you're

01:45:32.719 --> 01:45:34.135
right reply.

01:45:34.159 --> 01:45:37.159
 only to say Mr. Mayor, I note um the

01:45:38.000 --> 01:45:40.215
 complexities with Prep Point Bridge

01:45:40.239 --> 01:45:43.239
and that the buses are remain in place.

01:45:43.280 --> 01:45:45.976
 I guess the staff report gives us the

01:45:46.000 --> 01:45:49.000
opportunity to in advance to say whether

01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:50.695
or not the timber is usable,

01:45:50.719 --> 01:45:52.296
salvageable, and if it isn't, well,

01:45:52.320 --> 01:45:53.655
we're not going to retain it and let it

01:45:53.679 --> 01:45:55.976
rot in a yard. It will be disposed of as

01:45:56.000 --> 01:45:58.215
per whatever contract there is. But if

01:45:58.239 --> 01:46:00.856
it is salvageable and retainable, we

01:46:00.880 --> 01:46:03.496
have the opportunity to use it or sell

01:46:03.520 --> 01:46:06.056
it and make some money from it. I can I

01:46:06.080 --> 01:46:08.936
can't see hopefully  that it would be

01:46:08.960 --> 01:46:10.615
rotting away in a yard like those

01:46:10.639 --> 01:46:11.336
trusses.

01:46:11.360 --> 01:46:12.856
Thanks councelor Darling. All those in

01:46:12.880 --> 01:46:14.376
favor of councelor Daly's motion,

01:46:14.400 --> 01:46:16.536
councelor Hager, councelor New Council

01:46:16.560 --> 01:46:18.776
Dalia, councelor Daly, those against,

01:46:18.800 --> 01:46:20.296
councelor Porter, councelor Allen,

01:46:20.320 --> 01:46:22.056
councelor Noble, councelor Fitzpatrick,

01:46:22.080 --> 01:46:25.080
councelor Nade, and the motion's lost.

01:46:25.840 --> 01:46:28.376
Christians with notice, I sent one in. I

01:46:28.400 --> 01:46:31.336
copied counselors in around repairs.

01:46:31.360 --> 01:46:32.376
Miss Harrison, I don't know whether

01:46:32.400 --> 01:46:33.896
you've had a chance to go through that

01:46:33.920 --> 01:46:36.920
yet in relation to Boytown and um severe

01:46:37.679 --> 01:46:39.576
scarring of the waterfront area and the

01:46:39.600 --> 01:46:42.215
landscape in front of the seahorse in um

01:46:42.239 --> 01:46:43.816
did you want to take that on notice?

01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:45.976
T man, just to clarify that that is

01:46:46.000 --> 01:46:47.655
still considered a question without

01:46:47.679 --> 01:46:49.496
notice because it came in after our

01:46:49.520 --> 01:46:52.520
deadline for questions with notice.

01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:55.960
Miss

01:46:56.000 --> 01:46:57.816
 through Mr. Mayor. Yes, I can provide

01:46:57.840 --> 01:46:59.416
some information to councilors and the

01:46:59.440 --> 01:47:01.976
community on what's happening there. 

01:47:02.000 --> 01:47:05.000
so the boy there is erosion um at

01:47:05.840 --> 01:47:07.736
Boydtown Beach that's impacting the June

01:47:07.760 --> 01:47:10.760
and Reserve area seaworse in and it has

01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:13.496
been worsening over recent years.  the

01:47:13.520 --> 01:47:15.416
erosion has occurred as a result of both

01:47:15.440 --> 01:47:18.215
ocean storm wave impact meandering of

01:47:18.239 --> 01:47:21.016
Boydtown Creek, major flash flood events

01:47:21.040 --> 01:47:22.776
and the lack of June vegetation in the

01:47:22.800 --> 01:47:25.496
area.  the erosion has seen the

01:47:25.520 --> 01:47:27.416
significant landwood retreat of the June

01:47:27.440 --> 01:47:29.976
face an erosion scarp which is impacting

01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:31.736
access to the beach from the seahorse in

01:47:31.760 --> 01:47:33.496
area and creating hazards due to the

01:47:33.520 --> 01:47:35.976
size of the scarf at different times. 

01:47:36.000 --> 01:47:37.655
council's environment team has been

01:47:37.679 --> 01:47:39.496
leazing with the managers of the boytown

01:47:39.520 --> 01:47:41.496
property for some time now to determine

01:47:41.520 --> 01:47:43.736
appropriate solutions for the site. We

01:47:43.760 --> 01:47:45.175
have also been negotiating with

01:47:45.199 --> 01:47:47.095
fisheries regarding approval to

01:47:47.119 --> 01:47:48.936
undertake works in the creek entrance

01:47:48.960 --> 01:47:51.960
and realign the entrance southward. 

01:47:52.000 --> 01:47:53.736
staff have recently completed a review

01:47:53.760 --> 01:47:55.816
of environmental factors to allow for

01:47:55.840 --> 01:47:57.976
beach scraping and sand nourishment as a

01:47:58.000 --> 01:47:59.976
low impact response to the beach erosion

01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:02.296
issues across the shire including here

01:48:02.320 --> 01:48:05.095
at Boydtown Beach.  that RAF was

01:48:05.119 --> 01:48:06.615
submitted to Crownlands for owner's

01:48:06.639 --> 01:48:09.175
consent and to seek a license to cover

01:48:09.199 --> 01:48:12.056
the works.  Boytown Beach will be the

01:48:12.080 --> 01:48:14.296
first site at which works will occur. Um

01:48:14.320 --> 01:48:16.695
and and at that site will include beach

01:48:16.719 --> 01:48:19.496
scraping, June shaping, creek entrance

01:48:19.520 --> 01:48:22.296
realignment, June re reveitation and

01:48:22.320 --> 01:48:24.695
temporary fencing if the license is

01:48:24.719 --> 01:48:27.016
approved. Um and it's hoped that works

01:48:27.040 --> 01:48:29.496
will commence this financial year

01:48:29.520 --> 01:48:31.256
following receipt of crown land and

01:48:31.280 --> 01:48:33.496
fisheries approvals.

01:48:33.520 --> 01:48:35.976
Thank you. Other questions without

01:48:36.000 --> 01:48:37.816
notice counselors? I have a couple more.

01:48:37.840 --> 01:48:40.840
Um yes,

01:48:41.199 --> 01:48:44.199
I have one. Um just  in relation to

01:48:44.400 --> 01:48:46.615
the bigra road and I'm quite happy for

01:48:46.639 --> 01:48:48.776
you to take this on notice if necessary

01:48:48.800 --> 01:48:51.800
with regard to the big road um and

01:48:51.840 --> 01:48:54.456
particularly the section across Jilla

01:48:54.480 --> 01:48:57.095
Flats um this road used to be the Snowy

01:48:57.119 --> 01:48:59.016
Mountains Highway and was handed over

01:48:59.040 --> 01:49:01.416
from the state a number of years ago but

01:49:01.440 --> 01:49:03.576
the section particularly across Jilla

01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:06.296
Flat um I have received a lot of

01:49:06.320 --> 01:49:08.376
complaints about and a lot of the

01:49:08.400 --> 01:49:09.976
community are concerned about the

01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:11.736
appalling state it's

01:49:11.760 --> 01:49:14.296
Um I'm aware it's quite different to

01:49:14.320 --> 01:49:17.016
other roads. Um but appreciate council

01:49:17.040 --> 01:49:19.175
letting us know um what could be done

01:49:19.199 --> 01:49:20.936
and what's the likely time frame for

01:49:20.960 --> 01:49:23.736
that road to be repaired or replaced

01:49:23.760 --> 01:49:24.936
etc.

01:49:24.960 --> 01:49:27.960
Yes. We'll take that on notice. I will

01:49:28.000 --> 01:49:30.536
say that we do have some plans coming up

01:49:30.560 --> 01:49:32.456
but we'll come back publicly with the

01:49:32.480 --> 01:49:35.480
detail on what those plans are and and a

01:49:36.000 --> 01:49:37.976
bit of an explanation on why the road is

01:49:38.000 --> 01:49:41.000
the way it is there. Any

01:49:41.440 --> 01:49:42.615
other questions? I have one more

01:49:42.639 --> 01:49:44.695
question but anyone else? No other

01:49:44.719 --> 01:49:46.776
questions. I'll just one question to the

01:49:46.800 --> 01:49:49.800
CEO relates um in council's motion

01:49:50.239 --> 01:49:52.936
today. He spoke about the 2015 plans and

01:49:52.960 --> 01:49:55.576
spire plans. In 2016, council had a

01:49:55.600 --> 01:49:57.496
report showing the number of car pass

01:49:57.520 --> 01:49:59.016
parks done by the then director of

01:49:59.040 --> 01:50:00.856
business strategy that actually said

01:50:00.880 --> 01:50:03.175
that we had over 200 surplus car parks

01:50:03.199 --> 01:50:04.536
although the location of them wasn't

01:50:04.560 --> 01:50:06.936
ideal around Mimula. Can you can you

01:50:06.960 --> 01:50:09.095
answer as to if there's any been any

01:50:09.119 --> 01:50:11.016
increase in the maringa CBD since the

01:50:11.040 --> 01:50:13.655
2015 master plan and also how the Robert

01:50:13.679 --> 01:50:15.016
Green development that's been approved

01:50:15.040 --> 01:50:17.175
by council will impact on car parking in

01:50:17.199 --> 01:50:20.199
the area?

01:50:22.639 --> 01:50:24.135
No.

01:50:24.159 --> 01:50:25.576
No, it's not approved.

01:50:25.600 --> 01:50:26.615
The um

01:50:26.639 --> 01:50:29.016
yeah, sorry, not approved. The planning

01:50:29.040 --> 01:50:30.215
application has not been

01:50:30.239 --> 01:50:33.239
approved to council yet.

01:50:34.639 --> 01:50:37.639
So back to the back to the mayor's

01:50:38.960 --> 01:50:41.896
multiart question. Um

01:50:41.920 --> 01:50:44.135
the answer is there has been things done

01:50:44.159 --> 01:50:46.456
and we will bring back what has been

01:50:46.480 --> 01:50:49.336
done since the 2015 master plan. Just as

01:50:49.360 --> 01:50:51.496
an indication,

01:50:51.520 --> 01:50:53.175
there are some major developments that

01:50:53.199 --> 01:50:55.416
have happened in Mimula since the CBD

01:50:55.440 --> 01:50:58.056
master plan that council consciously got

01:50:58.080 --> 01:51:00.695
conditions placed into around parking to

01:51:00.719 --> 01:51:03.416
cater for some other offset impacts so

01:51:03.440 --> 01:51:04.856
we can bring more information back

01:51:04.880 --> 01:51:05.576
publicly.

01:51:05.600 --> 01:51:05.976
Thank you.

01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:08.135
Can we make it specific around so it's

01:51:08.159 --> 01:51:11.159
not just top of town like I

01:51:14.480 --> 01:51:16.536
respond?

01:51:16.560 --> 01:51:18.376
But I'm fine with that long as we we

01:51:18.400 --> 01:51:21.256
know the pardon.

01:51:21.280 --> 01:51:22.776
All right, councilors, no further

01:51:22.800 --> 01:51:25.496
questions, no conf session. Councilors,

01:51:25.520 --> 01:51:28.520
I declare the meeting closed at

01:51:28.719 --> 01:51:31.719
3:51. Thanks, counselors.
