Thank you, 00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:07.880 councilors.

Thanks, Councelor 00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:17.080 Crockett. Thank you, Mayor. I yeah had 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.600 the absolute pleasure of speaking at 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:23.656 the starting line of the full glow run 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.976 which was 21ks starting at Point Addis 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.000 artists on the weekend and it was 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.656 amazing to see so many people there in 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.680 colorful outfits most dressed as unicorns 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.800 and it yeah was a really fun event 00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:40.376 and was raising money for the sexual 00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:42.856 assault and family violence center 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:45.015 nearby. So every a lot of people got 00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:48.039 their fingernails painted rainbow at the 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.536 starting line and for everyone and it 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.376 was children doing the painting as well 00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:54.376 and for everyone who got their nails 00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:56.936 painted $5 went to the family 00:05:56.960 --> 00:05:59.816 violence center. So it was a great event 00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:02.056 um raising money for a good cause. 00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:05.080 Great. Thanks councelor Crockett. And 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.336 we will now move on to public question 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.496 time, which is a time for community 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:11.895 members to ask questions or make a 00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:13.976 submission at a council meeting. And 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.056 tonight we have two community members 00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:19.080 who have submitted four questions 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:22.216 in total for tonight. And I 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.295 understand they're not with us. So I 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.319 will be reading the questions out on 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.360 behalf of those community members. 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.776 and up both of them will be questions 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.936 that I will be referring to the CEO for 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:37.576 a response. So the first one is from 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.600 Charles Raj in Winchelsea and Charles's 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.576 first question is how has the budget 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.735 been decided for the Winchelsea pool 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.656 opening hours and I'll refer that to our 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:48.376 CEO. 00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:50.936 Thank you mayor. Thanks Charles for 00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:53.816 for your questions tonight. So the 00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:56.056 proposed opening hours consider both 00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:58.696 community feedback and also the patterns 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.720 of of usage from the last season and 00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:04.136 we try as part of that to balance our 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.936 operating costs with community use and 00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:08.615 our need to fund other community 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.639 facilities and and services. So what 00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:14.376 that means is that the operating hours 00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:17.400 of the pool for 2526 season are largely 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.856 determined by the available staff budget 00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:23.880 which is approximately $120,000. 00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:28.039 the budgeted income from admission 00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:31.080 fees is 61,000 meaning council 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.096 subsidizes the operating cost of the 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.936 pool to keep it affordable for the 00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:37.096 community. And so what this actually 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.735 equates to is a subsidy per visit across 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.816 the visitations 00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:44.840 um of about $20 per visit is what we 00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:46.696 anticipate. 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.656 but we have we did get quite a lot of 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.496 questions about this at our last council 00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:53.575 meeting. So Charles, if you want to see 00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:55.175 a bit more information on that, you 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.175 could have a look at the responses to 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.136 last month's questions um in at the 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.536 November council meeting. 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.696 Thank you, Miss Seymour. And the 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.936 second question from Charles is why is 00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:09.175 the pool never promoted by the council 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.656 or Winchelsea counselors apart from one 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.056 media release and I'll refer that to you 00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:16.295 for a response as well. Charles thanks 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:17.976 for the opportunity to talk to this 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.136 because actually we've done quite a lot 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.776 more promotion than that and so if 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.855 you're not aware of it then maybe this 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.879 might be helpful for you. So, you're 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.455 right. We did do a media release at the 00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:33.176 end of no November promoting the opening 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.200 season. We've also been um posting the 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.519 opening dates on a brand new Winelc pool 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:43.800 Facebook page. So, um we're so we're 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.416 doing that on a daily basis depending on 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.136 whether the pool's open or not.

Thanks, Miss Seymour. And we now 00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:11.255 have two questions from um Jeremy Ham 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.416 regarding the Talking Multi Arts Center. 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.815 Um Jeremy's also not here in person, so 00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:18.375 I'm going to read his questions. Um, and 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.815 starting with the first one, bear with 00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:21.416 me because there's three parts to the 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.096 question, but I'll I'll read it out in 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.120 full for you. So, primary to the $ 1.4 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.176 million to multiart center, otherwise 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.576 known as the MAC redevelopment project 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.896 brief was achieving sound isolation 00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:36.375 between the gallery and theater. Upon 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.136 completion, users have noted the 00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:41.160 following. One, the noise of the HVAC 00:10:42.160 --> 00:10:44.616 system bleeds into the theater so that 00:10:44.640 --> 00:10:46.375 heating cooling cannot be used during 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.456 performances. This is because the 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.016 outdoor air handling units were located 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:54.040 on a roof adjacent to the theater. Two, 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.696 sound from the gallery bleeds between 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.255 spaces via a gap in the sound isolation 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.016 wall. This is because the sound 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:03.176 isolation wall was only built to the 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.815 ceiling and wall line, enabling sound to 00:11:05.839 --> 00:11:07.495 travel through gaps in wall roof 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.736 cavities. This issue was identified to 00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:12.760 council officers by me. 00:11:13.040 --> 00:11:15.576 This issue was identified to council 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.296 officers by me prior to tender. And 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.456 three, the heating system does not heat 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.216 the people in the gallery after a full 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.216 day of operation. This is because the 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.935 ducks are 8 m high with vents pointing 00:11:26.959 --> 00:11:29.959 outward requiring the whole 1600 cubic 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.935 meter gallery volume to heat up before 00:11:32.959 --> 00:11:35.016 reaching the occupants. Can council 00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:36.776 please explain how these basic design 00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:38.536 issues were not identified by the 00:11:38.560 --> 00:11:41.176 council sponsor and project managers. 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.696 What will be done to rectify these 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.336 issues and what will the cost be for 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.360 rectification and who will pay? And I 00:11:48.640 --> 00:11:51.640 will refer that first question to our 00:11:51.839 --> 00:11:52.856 CEO. Thank you. 00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:54.216 Thanks mayor. I'm actually going to ask 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.976 the general manager of placemaking and 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.055 environment to respond to that that 00:11:58.079 --> 00:11:59.736 question and also the next one because 00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:02.536 it's pretty technical questions and so I 00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:04.616 think he's better placed to respond. 00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:07.640 Um thanks mayor and so um thanks for 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.696 raising your concerns Jeremy. It's 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.776 I'll just start off by noting it's it's 00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:14.776 really important to acknowledge that the 00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:16.536 multi art center isn't a purpose-built 00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:18.375 facility. Um we're not that fortunate. 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.055 It's an old basketball stadium that's 00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:22.536 been converted into an arts facility and 00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:24.216 we're really grateful that we received 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.296 funding from the federal government and 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.456 the council also contributed some 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.136 funding so that we could bring the 00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:32.216 building up to code because without that 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:33.736 investment we wouldn't be able to 00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:35.656 continue using the facility as a 00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:36.935 community arts space and it would need 00:12:36.959 --> 00:12:39.959 to return to a um a sports stadium. Um 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.375 so how did we arrive at the design? Um 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.856 well we relied as we often do in these 00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:47.880 processes um on the services of um of 00:12:48.560 --> 00:12:50.296 experts. So in this case independent 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.375 architects who who are experienced in 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.456 cultural and community facilities were 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.696 engaged and they helped us with all 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.776 aspects of the design including the 00:12:58.800 --> 00:13:00.696 matters that you're raising around 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.576 acoustics and heating and cooling. 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.136 Um it's also worth noting that um 00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:08.296 because we had a limited budget and 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.696 there were a number of um ambitions that 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.336 the users had for the facility, we we 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:14.856 had a project control group which 00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:17.656 included user group representatives and 00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:20.536 they would work through the relative um 00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:22.536 priorities of different improvements. 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:25.560 So, and it it it's quite clear that not 00:13:25.760 --> 00:13:27.656 every issue could be resolved either 00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:29.416 within the available budget or due to 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.976 the structural limitations of the of the 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.296 existing building. Um, and there were 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.456 moments where it was difficult to get 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.216 agreement between different users about 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.136 priorities. Um, and so there were 00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:41.736 instances where the project sponsor 00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:44.456 would make those final decisions um with 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.480 that guidance from the um architects. 00:13:47.680 --> 00:13:49.736 But we're really pleased with the 00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:51.495 project delivering a really greatly 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.896 improved facility for the community. I 00:13:53.920 --> 00:13:56.776 think that's important to um focus on 00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:59.800 and the cent's fully operational. We 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.456 officers are still working with the MAC 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.480 Inc. um to address any remaining noise 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.935 concerns. It's never going to be 00:14:06.959 --> 00:14:09.416 perfect. There is some small remaining 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.296 project budget which is looking at the 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:15.016 noise emanating from the um HVAC units 00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:17.016 on the outside of the building. But 00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:18.216 beyond that, there aren't any other 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.240 plans to um alter the building. Um and 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.456 we do know that projects like this where 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.935 we're repurposing a facility um will 00:14:26.959 --> 00:14:28.856 always have some limitations, but we're 00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:31.336 always open to working with user groups 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.175 if they can attract or raise funds to 00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:34.935 further improve the facility and we'd be 00:14:34.959 --> 00:14:37.959 happy to have those discussions. 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.120 Thank you, Mr. Park. And um Jeremy's 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.175 second question um with his second 00:14:45.199 --> 00:14:47.495 question has Jeremy's raised concerns 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.296 that he has had around governance and 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.216 management of the MAC lease and user 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.375 agreement and the process of 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.776 participation by the Surf Coast Art 00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:58.615 Space Group. This is also something that 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.416 he's raised with senior officers. And so 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.296 his question specifically is how was MAC 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.615 Inc. vetted prior to being offered a 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.776 lease for their capacity to manage the 00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:11.800 SH's largest multiarts facility and what 00:15:11.839 --> 00:15:13.175 action will be taken if they are 00:15:13.199 --> 00:15:15.976 incapable of delivering on the 25th of 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.000 the 3rd 25 council resolution 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.656 and I will also refer that through the 00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:23.815 CEO to our general manager Mr. Pike. 00:15:23.839 --> 00:15:26.839 Thanks mayor. And through you the um so 00:15:26.959 --> 00:15:29.175 before the MAC formally existed there 00:15:29.199 --> 00:15:31.576 was a collective of local creatives. 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.776 They actually proposed they were the 00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:35.096 ones proposed using the old stadium as a 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:38.120 as an arts facility. So with that um 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.055 impetus from from that group of people 00:15:42.079 --> 00:15:44.375 we worked with that group and um council 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.055 formally established the MAC by 00:15:46.079 --> 00:15:49.079 resolution in August 2019. 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.896 And so that's now evolved. Mac Inc. is 00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:54.216 now governed through its lease and 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.935 through an associated management plan 00:15:56.959 --> 00:15:59.959 and council's also supported um its 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.175 ongoing governance development through 00:16:03.199 --> 00:16:05.255 um drawing in the help of regional arts 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:06.935 Victoria 00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:09.959 um to talk specifically about um vetting 00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:12.055 membership. Council doesn't vet members 00:16:12.079 --> 00:16:13.576 of the Macking community. That's a 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.600 matter for um that particular group. 00:16:16.959 --> 00:16:19.495 Our most or council's most recent 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.815 resolution was um on this matter was in 00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:23.976 March 2025, so earlier this year. And 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.000 that again confirmed Mac, Inc. as the 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.935 the model of running the facility and as 00:16:28.959 --> 00:16:31.495 the tenant of the facility. 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.519 And so we um as councils, the the 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.935 landlords effectively of the building 00:16:36.959 --> 00:16:39.959 have um received a number of um claims 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.136 and concerns and investigated those 00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:44.615 regarding Mac Inc.'s compliance with 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.639 that resolution from March this year and 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.815 have found that the MAC Inc. is meeting 00:16:49.839 --> 00:16:51.896 its obligations with one outstanding 00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:54.216 matter being the continued negotiation 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.055 of a user agreement with the Surf Coast 00:16:56.079 --> 00:16:57.976 Art Space. 00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.896 And so um we're quite clear that 00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:01.576 responsibility for negotiating an 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.976 equitable user agreement does rest with 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.000 um the MAC Inc. and to work with um the 00:17:07.439 --> 00:17:10.439 Surf Coast Art Space Group. And it would 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.696 be our expectations and this is 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.496 continuing to be um communicated clearly 00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:17.736 that um if that agreement can't be 00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:20.616 reached through normal processes then 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.775 those groups would seek to resolve their 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.799 differences um by making use of 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.456 independent third party mediators and 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.416 sharing the costs of doing so. 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.440 Thank you Mr. Pike. Um and that brings 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.640 us to a close of public questions. So we 00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:40.616 will move on. Um there are no petitions 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.640 for tonight's meeting and there are no 00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:46.760 notices of motion for tonight's meeting. 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.655 Um but just before we move on to the 00:17:49.679 --> 00:17:52.456 agenda items or the reports, I just want 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:54.216 to note that we have an item of urgent 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.856 business to consider at tonight's 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.880 meeting. Um this item is currently 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.616 listed as item six under urgent 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.616 business. However, as we have a 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.640 confidential item to consider prior to 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:09.416 urgent business, I want to give 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.655 councilors an opportunity to consider 00:18:11.679 --> 00:18:13.496 whether the urgent business be moved 00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:15.976 forward on the agenda, perhaps to be 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.000 considered after item 4.9 given they are 00:18:19.679 --> 00:18:22.136 somewhat related. so would any 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.895 councelor like to move a procedural 00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:26.136 motion that the item listed as urgent 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.296 business as item six in the agenda be 00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:30.216 moved forward to be considered after 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.096 item 4.9? Councelor Patterson. Thank 00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:36.120 you. And seconded by councelor Barker. 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:39.480 And all those in favor for that 00:18:41.840 --> 00:18:44.535 motion. 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.336 And that's 00:18:47.360 --> 00:18:49.256 sorry councelor Gris. I can't see 00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:51.096 whether you're voting or not. Um I think 00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:52.456 that's 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.736 I think he's paused. 00:18:53.760 --> 00:18:56.535 Three four five six. He's frozen. Okay. 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.096 So we might just go with six councilors 00:18:59.120 --> 00:19:00.535 voting on that. And that's passed 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.096 unanimously. 00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:06.120 And now on to item 4.1, 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.096 which is the petition response to the 00:19:09.120 --> 00:19:11.576 petition for extra kangaroo and wildlife 00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:13.816 signage in multiple locations within the 00:19:13.840 --> 00:19:15.895 Surf Coast Shire. And the purpose of 00:19:15.919 --> 00:19:18.296 this report is to respond to a petition 00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:20.696 that was received by council requesting 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:22.535 that council erect extra kangaroo 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.696 wildlife signage at multiple locations 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:26.775 within the Surf Coast. And the petition 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.799 consisted of 44 signatures. we do 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.816 have a recommendation before us. Does 00:19:31.840 --> 00:19:33.976 anyone wish to move a motion in relation 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.136 to that item? Councelor Patterson as per 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.535 the recommendation. Yep. And seconded by 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:40.775 councelor Barker. And councelor 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.056 Patterson, would you like to speak to 00:19:42.080 --> 00:19:43.416 that item? 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.976 Yes, please. That would be great. 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:49.000 So, um it's great that we are reporting 00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:51.576 back on that petition and there's a 00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:54.136 number of community um members that are 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:56.696 really concerned about um what's 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.296 happening with the kangaroos on our 00:19:58.320 --> 00:20:00.535 roads and um injuring wildlife and the 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.496 like as well as as collisions with cars 00:20:03.520 --> 00:20:05.655 which um endangers you know both people 00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:08.616 and animals and um so I definitely 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.416 support what is proposed in the motion 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.015 around those traffic assessments on 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.336 DAL's road, Bones Road, Jerry side road 00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:18.296 and ascot road to determine um if we 00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:20.936 need further wildlife signage along 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.096 those roads and obviously um ensuring 00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:25.496 that all the signage um complies with 00:20:25.520 --> 00:20:27.655 the Australian standards. Um 00:20:27.679 --> 00:20:29.736 unfortunately current research indicates 00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:31.895 that over 40% of drivers don't actually 00:20:31.919 --> 00:20:34.056 pay attention to conventional wildlife 00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:37.015 signs. Um, and so, you know, it is a 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.416 little bit um, you know, it's it's it's 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.015 good and it's bad that we're putting 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.336 more signage out because we want to do 00:20:43.360 --> 00:20:45.015 um, what we can and that was what the 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.976 petition was around. But I think um, we 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.000 also this petition has sort of escalated 00:20:51.600 --> 00:20:54.600 um, within the council and and um, 00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.640 community and and counselors the need to 00:20:57.919 --> 00:20:59.895 really look at how we are managing that. 00:20:59.919 --> 00:21:02.919 So I think um that it's a good 00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:06.360 opening and we're doing um some work 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:08.616 around well we're doing the work that 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:09.976 has requested around looking at more 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.535 wildlife funding wildlife signing but 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.616 I think it's also opening that broader 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:17.496 question um and in our in the papers um 00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:19.416 that the officers have put forward we've 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.056 also talked about the use of the BMS 00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:25.080 boards um the the messaging boards which 00:21:25.679 --> 00:21:27.336 are actually more effective because it's 00:21:27.360 --> 00:21:29.336 a moving sign and people pay more 00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:31.015 attention to things when they change. 00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:33.015 So, it's great that actually as part of 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.856 the council's ongoing operational 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:36.936 budget, there's a BMS board that can be 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.655 used when we identify hotspots of of 00:21:39.679 --> 00:21:41.336 wildlife crossings and the like and 00:21:41.360 --> 00:21:44.216 they're they're really effective. Um, 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.976 and so that's also a good thing that 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.895 will be done and that won't cost council 00:21:47.919 --> 00:21:50.056 more money because they moving those 00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:52.376 those BMS boards is part of our current 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.535 budget and and it's already owned. And 00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:56.696 so that's another way that um council 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.015 can be helping to address the root cause 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.535 of what this position is really about, 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.176 which is ensuring that we are looking 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.096 after or or trying to minimize the 00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:07.256 impact of um wildlife being hit, 00:22:07.280 --> 00:22:09.176 penguins in particular, on our roads. 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.576 So, thank you to the petitioner and I 00:22:11.600 --> 00:22:13.496 hope although this doesn't solve the 00:22:13.520 --> 00:22:15.176 problem, I hope the response to the 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.200 petition will um elevate the matter and 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:19.816 also we'll address it with some 00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:22.456 additional signage. So, I encourage 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.616 councilors to support the motion. 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.056 Thanks, Councelor Patterson and 00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:27.015 councelor Barker. 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:28.696 Very quickly, ultimately personal 00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:31.096 responsibility takes care of this. If 00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:32.296 you're driving in an area where there 00:22:32.320 --> 00:22:35.015 are known kangaroos, you slow down 00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:36.296 unless you got a vehicle that can 00:22:36.320 --> 00:22:39.320 sustain it. Um but ideally what happens 00:22:39.679 --> 00:22:41.496 with this is that we get a tidy up of 00:22:41.520 --> 00:22:44.520 the signs and um even those informal 00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.015 signs might end up getting cleared up so 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:50.856 that we're compliant within our 00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:52.775 responsibilities. 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:54.456 Thanks councelor Barker. And would any 00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.895 other councilors like to speak to this 00:22:55.919 --> 00:22:58.376 item? Councelor Crockett. 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:00.856 Thank you mayor. I would also like to 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.176 thank the petitioners for highlighting 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.736 this issue. It's so important. Um, and 00:23:05.760 --> 00:23:07.736 we are so lucky to live alongside 00:23:07.760 --> 00:23:09.736 kangaroos and wildlife. So, I too would 00:23:09.760 --> 00:23:11.816 like to see less collisions with 00:23:11.840 --> 00:23:14.616 wildlife in our region. Um, and yeah, 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:16.936 just echoing that in this instant count 00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:19.015 instance, council will be responding to 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.655 the signage request within this petition 00:23:21.679 --> 00:23:24.679 and undertaking a tra traffic review to 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.535 follow the best practice to have signs 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:29.559 in the right places. Um, and I support 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.655 the recommendation, but I acknowledge 00:23:31.679 --> 00:23:33.976 that it is just one part of a solution. 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.000 And, um, as um, councelor Patterson 00:23:37.280 --> 00:23:39.256 said, the research is not too strong in 00:23:39.280 --> 00:23:41.015 proving the effectiveness of these 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:43.736 particular signs. Um, but I'm really 00:23:43.760 --> 00:23:45.736 grateful that this petition has 00:23:45.760 --> 00:23:47.496 highlighted this issue to keep the 00:23:47.520 --> 00:23:50.135 conversation going on this topic. Um so 00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:52.216 I'm also really keen to have further 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.816 discussions with council and with 00:23:53.840 --> 00:23:55.736 community as well on what other 00:23:55.760 --> 00:23:58.616 strategies um could be available. You 00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:01.096 know we know that council is limited in 00:24:01.120 --> 00:24:03.176 resources and capacity for this um 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:05.576 despite acknowledging a gap in wildlife 00:24:05.600 --> 00:24:08.535 protection measures. So um these might 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.296 be some of the difficult conversations 00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:11.816 we might have to have in the upcoming 00:24:11.840 --> 00:24:13.576 budget but it's a discussion I would 00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:16.296 like to um keep on the table. 00:24:16.320 --> 00:24:18.456 Thanks councelor Crockett. And would any 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.976 other counselors like to speak to this 00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:23.000 item? Councelor Walker. 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.576 Thank you, Mayor and fellow council. I 00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:28.056 think you've um you've hit it on the 00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:31.080 head really well um with the issue not 00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:33.336 just around all signage of protecting 00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:35.176 our wildlife, but looking at, you know, 00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:36.296 how do we actually look after our 00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:39.096 wildlife when incidences do happen and 00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:42.056 simply slowing down and um reducing our 00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:44.216 own speed and being wary might save an 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.376 extra 30 seconds or a minute. 00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.216 traveling at high speed, but it's also 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.096 looking at our own own behavior when we 00:24:51.120 --> 00:24:53.336 drive around our beautiful coastline and 00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:56.360 into land, which is full wildlife. So, 00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:57.895 we're looking forward to, you know, 00:24:57.919 --> 00:24:59.816 continue this conversation to see how we 00:24:59.840 --> 00:25:02.840 can actually um yeah, work towards more 00:25:03.520 --> 00:25:05.336 wildlife care and that side of things, 00:25:05.360 --> 00:25:07.736 too. So, I welcome this recommendation. 00:25:07.760 --> 00:25:08.456 Thanks. 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.456 Thanks, Councelor Walker. And would any 00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.895 other councilors like to speak to this 00:25:11.919 --> 00:25:13.976 item? 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.000 Councelor Phelps. 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:21.015 Thank you, mayor. Um, yeah, I'd like to 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.255 just acknowledge the compassion and care 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.655 of the addition participants. Um, it is 00:25:25.679 --> 00:25:27.655 indeed good to see a dead kendra on the 00:25:27.679 --> 00:25:30.135 road. I'd like to note that items 14 and 00:25:30.159 --> 00:25:33.159 15 of the report. Um, quote research or 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:35.976 or point to research that signs simply 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.736 don't work as well as we wish they 00:25:37.760 --> 00:25:40.135 would. , signs are routinely ignored 00:25:40.159 --> 00:25:42.296 and worse, more science makes them less 00:25:42.320 --> 00:25:45.096 effective. We all know that Sir Kasha 00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:46.936 has many kangaroos as councelor Crockett 00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.176 has mentioned and nobody wants to see 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:50.775 them being killed even from a strict 00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.576 himself point of view. A kangaroo can 00:25:53.600 --> 00:25:55.816 inflict significant damage on a vehicle 00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:57.976 leading to insurance claims and higher 00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:00.696 insurance premiums. So I'd like to also 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:02.296 urge all road users particularly at 00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:03.895 sunrise and dusk to take care of our 00:26:03.919 --> 00:26:05.736 country and coastal rides and to drought 00:26:05.760 --> 00:26:07.576 conditions including looking out for 00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:09.176 wildlife on the road in support of 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:11.655 councelor Barker's comments. I'd like to 00:26:11.679 --> 00:26:13.576 emphasize that more signage is not in my 00:26:13.600 --> 00:26:16.296 view the solution here. Alternative and 00:26:16.320 --> 00:26:18.216 better solutions are needed which would 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.176 need new funding to enable them. So in 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:22.775 meantime I do support the recommendation 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:24.456 for traffic assessments and I look 00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.056 forward to seeing the resulting 00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:27.895 statistics. Thank you. 00:26:27.919 --> 00:26:30.135 Thanks Councelor Phelps and any other 00:26:30.159 --> 00:26:31.496 councilors wanting to speak to this 00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:33.096 item? 00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:35.096 No. Any closing comments?

And the 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:06.456 purpose of this report is to seek 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.480 adoption of our places and spaces social 00:27:10.159 --> 00:27:13.159 infrastructure plan 2026 to 2036 to 00:27:14.080 --> 00:27:16.056 guide provision of social social 00:27:16.080 --> 00:27:18.056 infrastructure for the Surf Coast Shia 00:27:18.080 --> 00:27:20.616 Council.

Councelor Crockett as per the 00:27:25.600 --> 00:27:27.416 recommendation. Yep. And do we have a 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:29.816 seconder for that? Councelor Walker. 00:27:29.840 --> 00:27:32.840 Thank you. And is that sorry that was 00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:34.856 as per the recommendation. Yes. So 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:36.056 councelor Crockett would you like to 00:27:36.080 --> 00:27:37.176 speak to the item? 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.200 Yeah thank you mayor. Um thank you. Yes 00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.296 social infrastructure is really 00:27:42.320 --> 00:27:44.456 important and um the purpose of this 00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:46.775 plan is to ensure we can sustainably 00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:49.176 plan and deliver um these places and 00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.416 spaces and when and where they are 00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:54.216 needed most. Um so we know that locals 00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:56.936 value recreation spaces, outdoor sport 00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.336 and play space and arts and cultural 00:27:59.360 --> 00:28:02.360 venues including libraries and um but 00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:05.960 prioritizing them is not easy and um we 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.375 need to ensure that um the network is 00:28:08.399 --> 00:28:10.936 sustainable. Um and this means working 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:13.960 within our resources to deliver. Um so 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:16.216 there's been a great amount of 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.936 engagement on this where council asked 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.960 the community to let us know which um 00:28:22.159 --> 00:28:23.895 places and spaces they need to access 00:28:23.919 --> 00:28:26.535 and how important they are. Um so this 00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:28.936 helped to understand everyone's unique 00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.416 priorities and um then was used to 00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:33.255 establish a policy position and 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:35.895 methodology um to guide how we 00:28:35.919 --> 00:28:38.535 prioritize these. So, um I think it's a 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:40.216 great document cuz it's an adaptive 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:42.216 planning document that will be tracked 00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:44.616 and refreshed um each year reflecting 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:46.535 the everchanging community. So, I 00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:47.416 support it. 00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.176 Thanks, Councelor Crockett and Councelor 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.200 Walker. 00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.216 Sorry, Councelor Walker.

Thanks counselor. 00:29:07.120 --> 00:29:10.120 Um yeah, this council our places and 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.496 spaces social infrastruct infrastructure 00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:16.520 plan census for the next 10 years. Um 00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:18.056 it's a framework of innovation 00:29:18.080 --> 00:29:20.696 improvement projects to ensure ensure 00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.015 social infrastructure owned and managed 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.096 by council's successful inclusive 00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:27.336 flexible fit for purpose and meeting the 00:29:27.360 --> 00:29:28.856 needs of our communities while giving 00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.936 surface communities clarity on council's 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.015 role how decisions are made and what is 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.039 planned in the place that we live in. 00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:37.736 that provides overarching strategic 00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:39.496 direction align with the council plan, 00:29:39.520 --> 00:29:42.056 council policy, 00:29:42.080 --> 00:29:44.616 social structure assets for service 00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:46.616 delivery, community programs, activities 00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.535 and events throughout the show. The 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.176 state of play document and have your say 00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.375 with community and stakeholder 00:29:52.399 --> 00:29:54.135 engagement gave a range of feedback from 00:29:54.159 --> 00:29:55.736 the community in relation to provision 00:29:55.760 --> 00:29:57.336 of social infrastructure on the surf 00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:59.655 coast. This plan engagement gives good 00:29:59.679 --> 00:30:01.416 transparency to council and our 00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:03.655 community. Feedback included a desire 00:30:03.679 --> 00:30:05.176 for more balanced investment across 00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:06.936 townships and facilities that reflects 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:08.775 the needs of our growing and diverse 00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:10.936 communities that we all call home. The 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.696 place and basic social infrastructure 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.535 plan shows what is planned in the place 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.696 you live in across the wards but also 00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.096 individual towns over the next 10 years. 00:30:19.120 --> 00:30:21.816 Um I welcome this um plan and look 00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:23.816 forward to reviewing it every year. 00:30:23.840 --> 00:30:24.375 Thanks. 00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:26.296 Thanks Councelor Walker. Would any other 00:30:26.320 --> 00:30:27.816 councilors like to speak to this item? 00:30:27.840 --> 00:30:28.696 Councelor Barker. 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:31.336 Thanks mate. Um first some key points. 00:30:31.360 --> 00:30:33.015 it's not legally required. We're not 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:35.176 compelled to do this. it does admit 00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:36.456 that we can't afford to keep building 00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.616 new things. Um suggest that a strong 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.775 focus on renewing existing assets. 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:43.576 Pretty good. but the funding relies 00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:46.056 heavily on grants. Not so good. Um as 00:30:46.080 --> 00:30:47.336 you'll notice, my Christmas cheer was 00:30:47.360 --> 00:30:48.616 used up in the last agenda item. We're 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:50.456 back to normal programming now because 00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.135 it's got a long list of future projects 00:30:52.159 --> 00:30:54.936 that risk locking in expansion that we 00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.960 can't fulfill. overall the plan 00:30:58.399 --> 00:31:00.296 starts well mental we're wearing out our 00:31:00.320 --> 00:31:02.856 assets f faster than we can renew them. 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.255 Um and that honesty is super super 00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:08.135 welcome. and I hope there's more of 00:31:08.159 --> 00:31:11.159 more reports like that in the future. Um 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.176 but we need to focus on fixing what we 00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:15.736 have rather than chasing new builds 00:31:15.760 --> 00:31:18.760 which this sets us up for. Um my concern 00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:23.176 is that we 00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.200 then attach long-term future projects. 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.336 um and rely on the outside grants to 00:31:29.360 --> 00:31:31.496 justify them. 00:31:31.520 --> 00:31:34.520 I go back to the point made by councelor 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.255 Crockett when we talk about working 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:40.135 within our resources. We need to be 00:31:40.159 --> 00:31:41.976 aware that we have a finite amount of 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:43.655 resources and we can't spread them too 00:31:43.679 --> 00:31:46.375 thin. If we do, we do everything poorly. 00:31:46.399 --> 00:31:48.775 Um, 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:50.535 and it's these little incremental 00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:53.559 changes that create scope creep 00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:57.416 that ends up council stepping outside 00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:59.655 its core responsibilities. 00:31:59.679 --> 00:32:02.679 And I don't want to support that. 00:32:03.120 --> 00:32:06.120 For the good parts in being truthful and 00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:09.336 assessing the the reality of the 00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:11.336 situation that we're in, good. But 00:32:11.360 --> 00:32:13.816 overall, it will not get my support. 00:32:13.840 --> 00:32:15.976 Thank you. Thanks councelor Barker and 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:17.576 would any other councilors like to speak 00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:20.600 to this item? Councelor Patterson. 00:32:24.320 --> 00:32:26.856 Thank you. So um it's already been 00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:28.616 spoken about the social infrastructure 00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:31.640 plan for the next 10 years ultimately 00:32:31.679 --> 00:32:33.976 with a 5year horizon and then a and then 00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.216 the the the future for the next 10 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:39.015 years. Um and for those that that aren't 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:40.456 aware, you know, council social 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:43.096 infrastructure is vast. There's 8,000 00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:46.120 open spaces, 253 km of foot paths and 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:49.255 cycleways. That's a bit of a snapshot. 00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:50.936 But then it comes down to community 00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.255 spaces, pavilions, bike parks, and 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.416 playgrounds. So the overall assets of 00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:57.416 council, the the social infrastructure 00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.440 assets amount are valued at around 243 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.176 million. So that's a lot of assets and 00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.336 we really need a complex plan like this 00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:07.655 to understand, manage, renew to make 00:33:07.679 --> 00:33:10.216 sure it's equitable across the whole SH. 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.775 So the socially structured plan focuses 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.799 on accessibility, the the assets being 00:33:15.840 --> 00:33:18.616 inclusive, flexible, fit for purpose and 00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:20.456 meeting the needs of our community. And 00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:21.976 it's actually if you look at the plan, 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:23.895 it's broken down into each of our 00:33:23.919 --> 00:33:25.816 townships. And you can see, you know, in 00:33:25.840 --> 00:33:27.895 the next 5 years, what's planned in the 00:33:27.919 --> 00:33:30.135 next, you know, the 10 year horizon. So 00:33:30.159 --> 00:33:32.616 these they're they're not budgeted, but 00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.255 this is looking at need across the SH 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.976 and then um on an annual basis there 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.000 will be budget allocations. um to to do 00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:43.736 that work. And yes, as been identified, 00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:45.655 there will be grant refinements to 00:33:45.679 --> 00:33:47.015 deliver some of these. So, we're not 00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:48.775 saying all of this is funded, but we're 00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:50.456 saying this is what we think is needed 00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.480 for our community based on um evaluating 00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:56.296 existing infrastructure and the status 00:33:56.320 --> 00:33:58.616 of that existing infrastructure. And so, 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.936 this is all builds on a lot of work over 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:02.535 a number of years. There was the state 00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:05.336 as play um operational document that 00:34:05.360 --> 00:34:08.360 came out in 2020 2024 and that really 00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:10.936 just listed out what's going on in our 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:12.855 SH and there's been a lot of engagement 00:34:12.879 --> 00:34:15.016 from that and then now we've come up 00:34:15.040 --> 00:34:17.335 with this our places our spaces which is 00:34:17.359 --> 00:34:20.135 the plan going forward. So this is 00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:21.335 something we've been looking forward to 00:34:21.359 --> 00:34:23.575 for quite some time when community are 00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.575 concerned about they want something 00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:27.176 renewed. How does it sit within the 00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:29.575 other priorities of need? That's what 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:31.575 this plan is all about. And so I'm 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:33.655 really excited that it's finally coming 00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:35.256 to us and we can have a clear 00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.416 understanding of what's happening across 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:39.815 each township over the next 5 to 10 00:34:39.839 --> 00:34:41.416 years. So I encourage my fellow 00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:43.655 councilors to support it. Thank you. 00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:45.655 Thanks Councelor Patterson and Councelor 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:48.375 Phelps. 00:34:48.399 --> 00:34:50.936 Thank you mayor. Um the most important 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.855 aspect I think of this social 00:34:52.879 --> 00:34:54.296 infrastructure plan is its 00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:57.016 prioritization framework. Um there are 00:34:57.040 --> 00:34:58.776 many projects many many projects the 00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.176 rate pay residents would like to see 00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:03.496 completed around cert 00:35:03.520 --> 00:35:05.016 more than our budget can possibly 00:35:05.040 --> 00:35:07.016 accommodate. Accordingly it's important 00:35:07.040 --> 00:35:09.016 to have and I quote a plan to guide 00:35:09.040 --> 00:35:10.856 investment and decision-m in social 00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:12.536 infrastructure provision for the surf 00:35:12.560 --> 00:35:15.256 coast China. this is what's presented 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.176 today and while it includes a laundry 00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:20.136 list of current or future projects as I 00:35:20.160 --> 00:35:22.136 say what matters most is is given in 00:35:22.160 --> 00:35:25.160 items 13.1 and 13.2 of the report 13.1 a 00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:29.176 robust evidence-based and industry best 00:35:29.200 --> 00:35:31.176 practice approach to assessing the 00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:32.856 adequacy of current and proposed 00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:35.416 provision and 13.2 two which is the 00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:37.335 development of the assessment matrix to 00:35:37.359 --> 00:35:39.656 enable the equitable prioritization of 00:35:39.680 --> 00:35:41.736 projects for investment based on 00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.216 criteria across two themes of community 00:35:44.240 --> 00:35:47.240 need and project deliverability. 00:35:47.359 --> 00:35:49.176 I highly recommend rate payers and 00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:50.696 residents take a good look at this 00:35:50.720 --> 00:35:52.616 social infrastructure plan which breaks 00:35:52.640 --> 00:35:55.416 down project by town and area. These are 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:56.856 the things that make our place what it 00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.456 is. One of the most livable local 00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.696 government areas in the country. we 00:36:00.720 --> 00:36:02.296 can't afford it all and this is a 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:04.456 10-year plan. It will constantly evolve 00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:07.480 as mentioned. Um but it also lays out an 00:36:07.680 --> 00:36:09.575 equitable approach to making where we 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:12.216 live even better than it is today. And 00:36:12.240 --> 00:36:15.016 importantly and al as also mentioned we 00:36:15.040 --> 00:36:16.696 need to do that within our financial 00:36:16.720 --> 00:36:19.016 constraints. I support adopting this 00:36:19.040 --> 00:36:21.656 social infrastructure plan. Thank you. 00:36:21.680 --> 00:36:23.416 Thanks councelor Phelps.

So, um, the 00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.896 emergency management advocacy and 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:09.496 priorities and and everything involved 00:39:09.520 --> 00:39:11.656 with emergency management. Um, I welcome 00:39:11.680 --> 00:39:14.376 this and look forward to hearing from 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:16.696 fellow councilors and and everyone else 00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:19.720 who is on these um, important committees 00:39:20.640 --> 00:39:23.335 um, to make the best out of our area 00:39:23.359 --> 00:39:24.856 that we live in, the best it can be. 00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:25.815 Thanks. 00:39:25.839 --> 00:39:27.575 Thanks, Councelor Walker. And would any 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:29.095 other councilors like to speak to this 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.176 item? Councelor Barker. 00:39:31.200 --> 00:39:33.095 , quickly, the memberships to most of 00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:34.616 these are optional. We don't need to be 00:39:34.640 --> 00:39:36.296 there. Um, they're only useful if 00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:38.456 they've got a direct impact on what our 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:40.696 core duties are. And the risk is that we 00:39:40.720 --> 00:39:42.696 join groups that lobby for spending more 00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:45.656 money um that don't have a say in the 00:39:45.680 --> 00:39:48.616 piece. So we've got organizations like 00:39:48.640 --> 00:39:50.696 municipal municipal association of 00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:53.720 Victoria and they're largely a body that 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:56.760 call for more spending in the um 00:39:58.240 --> 00:40:01.240 municipal industry which comes 00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:03.896 from taxpayers. So it's just Robin Peter 00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:06.920 Pay Paul and um 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:08.856 that sort of activity is something that 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:11.575 I don't support if it was joining 00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:14.456 committees that contributed to our core 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.335 responsibilities. Yes. Um but overall 00:40:17.359 --> 00:40:19.176 this doesn't so I won't be supporting 00:40:19.200 --> 00:40:20.376 it. 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.856 Thanks councelor Barker and councelor 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:25.880 Patterson. 00:40:26.560 --> 00:40:28.536 Thank you. It's really important that um 00:40:28.560 --> 00:40:30.776 as elected representatives we can 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.800 represent the needs of our SH on um 00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:37.496 relevant bodies. So I'm the chair of the 00:40:37.520 --> 00:40:39.736 Jong Regional Library Corporation. Um, 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.136 and that's an important role because we 00:40:42.160 --> 00:40:44.216 provide that the the library provides 00:40:44.240 --> 00:40:47.240 services for Tori and and the broader 00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:50.440 library region that that all of us go to 00:40:50.560 --> 00:40:52.856 and and council puts a lot of money 00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:55.016 into that. Um, so that's really 00:40:55.040 --> 00:40:58.040 important as well as I think actually um 00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:02.280 the MAV just um as an example provides 00:41:03.040 --> 00:41:04.536 training for counselors so that we can 00:41:04.560 --> 00:41:07.095 be the best counselors that we can be. 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:09.656 um they advocate for government. Um I 00:41:09.680 --> 00:41:10.536 was just reading one of their 00:41:10.560 --> 00:41:12.536 newsletters and they were reporting 00:41:12.560 --> 00:41:15.016 around the um emergency services levy 00:41:15.040 --> 00:41:16.295 and they've been doing a lot of work 00:41:16.319 --> 00:41:18.536 advocating to the state government 00:41:18.560 --> 00:41:20.295 around that you know being pushed back 00:41:20.319 --> 00:41:23.319 or or not or or trying to stop that that 00:41:23.520 --> 00:41:26.376 fund. So I think um you know there's 00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:28.216 also insurance schemes and the like 00:41:28.240 --> 00:41:30.936 which they can that buying different 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:33.335 insurance for local government. So all 00:41:33.359 --> 00:41:36.295 of the industries and bodies that um 00:41:36.319 --> 00:41:38.456 that the that these that we as 00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:41.480 councilors are on will um provide really 00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:45.016 good benefits for our council and our 00:41:45.040 --> 00:41:46.776 community and and that actually saves us 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:49.016 a lot of money through some of those bi 00:41:49.040 --> 00:41:51.496 um arrangements like um came through 00:41:51.520 --> 00:41:53.095 that as well through I think or one of 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.119 the other bodies. So um I do encourage 00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:57.896 um my fellow counselors and all of us 00:41:57.920 --> 00:41:59.496 put a lot of time and energy into these 00:41:59.520 --> 00:42:01.416 these bodies that we are representatives 00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:04.440 on. So um I congratulate those of us 00:42:05.520 --> 00:42:07.896 that have put our hand up. 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:09.496 Thanks Councelor Patterson.

Um, I found that personally 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:24.696 very useful in terms of the insights and 00:42:24.720 --> 00:42:26.456 the the feedback that that I've been 00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:29.335 getting about the older generations 00:42:29.359 --> 00:42:31.016 where council's concerned. I think their 00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:33.176 input has been invaluable and I'm very 00:42:33.200 --> 00:42:34.456 pleased to be continuing for another 00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:36.456 year. 00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:38.295 Thanks, Councelor Phelps.

So the purpose of this 00:43:09.839 --> 00:43:12.295 report is to present the results of the 00:43:12.319 --> 00:43:14.856 community consultation on the draft 00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:16.616 SCS050 00:43:16.640 --> 00:43:19.016 service review policy and the final 00:43:19.040 --> 00:43:20.936 version of the policy to council for 00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:23.736 adoption.

Um, again, this isn't 00:43:39.520 --> 00:43:41.575 mandatory, um, but it's potentially 00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:43.496 powerful. , allows us to question 00:43:43.520 --> 00:43:45.256 whether council should or should not be 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:48.216 doing something. Um, but it does come 00:43:48.240 --> 00:43:50.936 with a risk of simply becoming a box 00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:53.176 ticking exercise. 00:43:53.200 --> 00:43:56.136 If we use it properly, it'll be super 00:43:56.160 --> 00:43:58.616 super useful. 00:43:58.640 --> 00:44:01.496 Firstly, to be able to assess whether 00:44:01.520 --> 00:44:03.416 council should or should not be involved 00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:05.575 in the space is a very important 00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:07.496 question and then you can get into the 00:44:07.520 --> 00:44:10.520 detail after that. 00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:12.696 It'll help us tighten our footprint and 00:44:12.720 --> 00:44:15.176 as I've stressed many many many times 00:44:15.200 --> 00:44:18.200 before, if we can tighten the amount of 00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:21.416 services that we offer, we will do them 00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:22.936 far better than what we do at the 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:25.736 moment. And this will be a key component 00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:28.456 to that happening. If it becomes 00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:30.936 paperwork that just justifies keeping 00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:32.936 everything, then it'll be a waste and 00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:35.960 it'll have no value. So, I'm getting my 00:44:36.160 --> 00:44:37.496 little bit of Christmas cheer back and 00:44:37.520 --> 00:44:39.976 supporting it, even though it does come 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:42.136 with a little bit of a risk, but I hope 00:44:42.160 --> 00:44:44.456 that risk is unwarranted from my 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:45.575 perspective. 00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:48.295 Thanks, Councelor Barker. And councelor 00:44:48.319 --> 00:44:49.736 Patterson, would you like to speak to 00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:51.176 this item? 00:44:51.200 --> 00:44:54.055 Thank you. Yes. Um, I agree. The council 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:56.216 should periodically review the services 00:44:56.240 --> 00:44:57.976 um, it delivers to ensure that those 00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.376 services continue to meet the needs and 00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:02.776 priorities of our community now and into 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:05.416 the future. And the service reviews look 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.440 into the costs, quality, efficiency and 00:45:08.560 --> 00:45:10.055 effectiveness of the services that are 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:11.815 provided to the community. Um, and 00:45:11.839 --> 00:45:13.016 really it's part of being a high 00:45:13.040 --> 00:45:14.456 performing council that you look at the 00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:16.216 services you deliver and you work out 00:45:16.240 --> 00:45:17.416 whether we're doing them well, whether 00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:18.936 we could change, you know, those sorts 00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:20.696 of things. So some of the key things 00:45:20.720 --> 00:45:22.696 that are con that need to be 00:45:22.720 --> 00:45:24.616 considered as part of this policy are 00:45:24.640 --> 00:45:26.536 you know deter determining if the 00:45:26.560 --> 00:45:28.856 service is adapting to change you know 00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:30.856 is it efficient and does it optimize the 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:33.176 use of council resources is it still 00:45:33.200 --> 00:45:35.815 relevant is it fit for purpose um is it 00:45:35.839 --> 00:45:38.055 responsive to the customer and community 00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:40.295 need is it delivering the right outcomes 00:45:40.319 --> 00:45:42.696 and is it having the right impact so 00:45:42.720 --> 00:45:44.295 these are important things to consider 00:45:44.319 --> 00:45:46.616 in any service that we deliver it 00:45:46.640 --> 00:45:48.376 doesn't necessarily mean that we're not 00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:49.896 going to deliver that service. I know 00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.295 that some want us to to really um reduce 00:45:52.319 --> 00:45:54.295 the amount of services and if it's found 00:45:54.319 --> 00:45:55.736 through this that really it's not 00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:58.216 relevant. Well, sure that that's all 00:45:58.240 --> 00:46:00.776 part of a robust service review, but a 00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:02.055 lot of the time it will be looking at 00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:04.456 efficiencies um how it could be done 00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:07.176 better, you know, all of those sorts of 00:46:07.200 --> 00:46:08.936 other things and it's really it's part 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:10.776 of being a high performing council. So, 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:12.376 I'm glad that this policy has come up 00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:14.055 for review. 00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:15.656 Thanks, Councelor Patterson. And would 00:46:15.680 --> 00:46:17.335 any other councilors like to speak to 00:46:17.359 --> 00:46:19.815 this item? Councelor 00:46:19.839 --> 00:46:22.839 Phelps. 00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:25.095 Thank you, Mayor. Um, a defined policy 00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:26.936 and process for reviewing what council 00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:29.176 does and to what extent is definitely a 00:46:29.200 --> 00:46:30.696 good idea. , there are several 00:46:30.720 --> 00:46:32.376 categories that each service is reviewed 00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:34.295 against to help prioritize what to look 00:46:34.319 --> 00:46:37.016 at next, such as strategic alignment, 00:46:37.040 --> 00:46:39.896 community impact, and cost. It's my 00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:41.016 opinion that having a structured 00:46:41.040 --> 00:46:42.696 approach would enable council to most 00:46:42.720 --> 00:46:45.095 efficiently carry out ongoing reviews of 00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:47.575 council services um to avoid wasting 00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:49.496 precious funds on services that are no 00:46:49.520 --> 00:46:51.656 longer required or that can be provided 00:46:51.680 --> 00:46:53.896 differently or even where community 00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:55.815 demand has changed. So I strongly 00:46:55.839 --> 00:46:57.416 support adopting this service review 00:46:57.440 --> 00:46:59.095 policy. Thank you. 00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:00.936 Thanks councelor Phelps and any other 00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:03.016 counselors? 00:47:03.040 --> 00:47:04.456 No. And did you have any closing 00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:05.656 comments councelor Barker? 00:47:05.680 --> 00:47:07.815 I think Joel put his hand up. Oh, sorry. 00:47:07.839 --> 00:47:09.496 Councelor Gri, did you have your hand 00:47:09.520 --> 00:47:12.520 up? Thank you. I think the you different 00:47:13.040 --> 00:47:14.616 shaped screen. So, when you put your 00:47:14.640 --> 00:47:15.815 hand up, just pop it in front of your 00:47:15.839 --> 00:47:17.896 face so I can see you. Um, but yeah, 00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:19.416 please go ahead, councelor Grie. Thank 00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.440 you. 00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:26.599 Thanks, man. Um, I also support this um 00:47:27.200 --> 00:47:29.416 gender item. Um, regular independent 00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:31.416 service reviews align closely with 00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:34.440 fiscal responsibility and potentially 00:47:34.560 --> 00:47:36.776 minimizing government footprint. um they 00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:39.016 trade opportunity to identify services 00:47:39.040 --> 00:47:41.335 that should be seized, outsourced or 00:47:41.359 --> 00:47:43.976 shifted to use of pay or even community 00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:46.856 um provisions. I second council B's 00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:48.456 called to ensure reviews are not just 00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:50.456 performative and the reviews must 00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:52.856 have teeth mandatory action windows, 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.856 cost benefit thresholds and clear 00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:57.016 accountability for implementation of of 00:47:57.040 --> 00:47:59.736 those decisions that we make. Thanks. 00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:02.760 Thanks councelor Gri and no closing 00:48:03.520 --> 00:48:05.736 comments. Okay, we'll now put the item 00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:08.760 to a vote. All those in favor 00:48:10.160 --> 00:48:12.856 and that motion is carried unanimously. 00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:15.880 Thank you, councilors. 00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:19.400 item 4.5 is on community asset 00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:23.079 committee's annual update for 20 2425 00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:25.976 and the purpose of this report is to 00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:28.456 present the 2425 community asset 00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:31.416 committee annual report to appoint 00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:33.496 new committee members accept some 00:48:33.520 --> 00:48:36.055 committee resignations and consider a 00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:38.216 new management model for the Anglesy 00:48:38.240 --> 00:48:40.776 Bike Park CAC which is the community 00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:42.936 asset committee. And just before we 00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.095 consider this item, I I will note that 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:48.119 the final point in the recommendation 00:48:48.160 --> 00:48:50.936 just has a minor typo where it refers to 00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:53.960 friend of Anglesy Bike Park. I'd like to 00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:56.216 assure the community that the Anglesy 00:48:56.240 --> 00:48:57.896 Bike Park has more than one friend. 00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:00.376 There are many friends of the Anglesy 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:03.176 Bike Park. Um and so that will be 00:49:03.200 --> 00:49:05.256 updated um in the minutes to read 00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:07.976 Friends of Anglesy Bike Park just to 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:11.000 reassure everyone. so do we we do 00:49:11.520 --> 00:49:13.335 have a recommendation there?

Thank you. Um our community 00:49:34.240 --> 00:49:36.535 asset committees or known as CATS are 00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:38.936 made of of dedicated volunteers who 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:40.535 directly manage daily operations 00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:42.376 activities and nominated halls and 00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:44.696 recreation reserves on behalf of Sashai 00:49:44.720 --> 00:49:47.575 Council. These committees create greater 00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:48.856 local connection and bring local 00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:50.456 knowledge that results in more effective 00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:53.016 use of the facilities. It's not an easy 00:49:53.040 --> 00:49:55.496 job for them all um and especially being 00:49:55.520 --> 00:49:57.095 volunteers. So I especially want to 00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:59.016 acknowledge the valuable contributions 00:49:59.040 --> 00:50:01.416 that all the community committee members 00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:03.575 have made to the comm community and 00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:05.256 thank each volunteer for the dedicated 00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:08.280 support. Um especially like thank those 00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:10.055 who resigned. I acknowledge their 00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:12.136 contribution and also welcome the new 00:50:12.160 --> 00:50:15.160 committee members um to these fantastic 00:50:15.520 --> 00:50:18.520 um cats and um yeah welcome this 00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:20.696 recommendation. I think it gives a good 00:50:20.720 --> 00:50:23.720 insight what cakes do and the um 00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:25.496 challenges they face. But at the same 00:50:25.520 --> 00:50:27.176 time, again, I just want to acknowledge 00:50:27.200 --> 00:50:29.095 the invaluable contributions they make 00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:30.936 to our community. Thanks. 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:32.616 Thanks, Councelor Walker and Council 00:50:32.640 --> 00:50:33.176 Barker. 00:50:33.200 --> 00:50:34.456 Yeah, I just reiterate a lot of our 00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:35.976 points that Council Walker has made. 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:38.696 Thank you to the outgoing and incoming 00:50:38.720 --> 00:50:41.720 members. Um it is noted that volunteers 00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:45.176 managing CAS contribute significantly I 00:50:45.200 --> 00:50:47.335 think in the order of the equivalent 00:50:47.359 --> 00:50:48.616 value of hundreds of thousands of 00:50:48.640 --> 00:50:51.640 dollars to what um council does. So that 00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:55.079 reduces our cost to the rate payer. 00:50:55.200 --> 00:50:56.936 So that is excellent and I hope that 00:50:56.960 --> 00:50:59.496 this model can stretch further and we 00:50:59.520 --> 00:51:00.856 have more community take up 00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:03.256 responsibility reducing council costs so 00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:05.256 we can reduce the rates. 00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:07.256 Thanks councelor Barker and would any 00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:08.376 other councilors like to speak? 00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:11.400 Councelor Patterson. Thank you. 00:51:13.200 --> 00:51:15.176 Thank you. As those have already spoken, 00:51:15.200 --> 00:51:16.616 obviously thank you to all the 00:51:16.640 --> 00:51:18.856 volunteers on our um asset committees 00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:21.880 for their dedication and work. Um and 00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:23.815 also welcome to the new members. Thanks 00:51:23.839 --> 00:51:25.575 for stepping up. I thought I'd just 00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:27.256 mention about the Anglesy Bike Park 00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:29.176 community asset committee that's um 00:51:29.200 --> 00:51:31.896 resolved to formally dissolve as a cap 00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:34.216 as of the 30th of June this year and 00:51:34.240 --> 00:51:36.216 they'll operate instead under a friends 00:51:36.240 --> 00:51:39.240 of Anglesy Bark model. So this MA model 00:51:39.520 --> 00:51:42.520 is more suitable model for um with it's 00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:45.496 a more suitable model for the bike park 00:51:45.520 --> 00:51:47.016 um with support from the south coast 00:51:47.040 --> 00:51:48.936 mountain bike club um and this will 00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:50.936 enable volunteers to focus on the bike 00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:52.456 park and less on the governments and 00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:54.456 running for the CAC. So importantly 00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:56.696 though, any funds that are held will be 00:51:56.720 --> 00:51:59.016 transferred to a dedicated line and 00:51:59.040 --> 00:52:00.616 council's budget to be spent on the 00:52:00.640 --> 00:52:02.936 angles bike park um within books from 00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:04.696 the friends of group to inform how it's 00:52:04.720 --> 00:52:06.856 spent. And the bike park is just one 00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:08.295 example of the many great community 00:52:08.319 --> 00:52:10.456 assets that we have across the SH and 00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:11.896 once again thanks to those that have 00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:13.976 been looking after these assets for many 00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:17.000 years already and ongoing. So thank you. 00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:20.456 Thanks councelor Patterson. And would 00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:21.976 any other counselors like to speak to 00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:24.376 this item? 00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:26.136 No. And councelor Walker, did you have 00:52:26.160 --> 00:52:28.696 any closing comments? 00:52:28.720 --> 00:52:30.776 No. Thanks, Councelor Walker. We'll now 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:32.696 put the motion to a vote. All those in 00:52:32.720 --> 00:52:35.720 favor? 00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:38.535 And the motion is carried unanimously. 00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:41.559 Thank you, councilors. 00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:45.480 Item 4.6 is the audit and risk 00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:47.496 committee charter. And the purpose of 00:52:47.520 --> 00:52:49.335 this report is for council to consider 00:52:49.359 --> 00:52:52.359 adopting the reviewed audit and risk 00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:55.176 committee charter. we do have a 00:52:55.200 --> 00:52:57.656 recommendation before us. Does anyone 00:52:57.680 --> 00:53:00.680 wish to move a motion? 00:53:02.319 --> 00:53:03.976 Councelor Patterson as per the 00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:06.216 recommendation. Yeah. And do I have a 00:53:06.240 --> 00:53:09.240 seconder for that motion? 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:14.216 Councelor Phelps. Thank you. and 00:53:14.240 --> 00:53:16.055 councelor Patterson would you like to 00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:17.896 speak to it? 00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:20.920 Sure. So currently in our charter um the 00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.176 the charter needs to be reviewed 00:53:23.200 --> 00:53:24.856 annually and then come to council for 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.880 adoption. So part of this review um it's 00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:30.055 changed that that can be done every four 00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:33.079 years um as the annual review was 00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:35.656 unnecessary. So there's still a lot 00:53:35.680 --> 00:53:37.416 that's happened in this review. Um as 00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:40.295 well as that point that um there's some 00:53:40.319 --> 00:53:41.656 changes around the board chair 00:53:41.680 --> 00:53:43.416 appointment time frames and recruitment 00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:45.736 panels as in the how many councils are 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:47.815 on those panels and the like. Um as well 00:53:47.839 --> 00:53:49.736 as bringing the independent member 00:53:49.760 --> 00:53:51.496 remuneration in line with the Victorian 00:53:51.520 --> 00:53:52.776 government board appointment and 00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:55.736 renumeration guidelines. So that's all 00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:58.760 listed in the charter in the agenda. Um 00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:01.736 and I encourage councils to support 00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:04.616 that. Um and but also I think it's 00:54:04.640 --> 00:54:06.616 important to identify inputs of audit 00:54:06.640 --> 00:54:08.055 risk committees that play a vital role 00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:10.216 in providing feedback to council on key 00:54:10.240 --> 00:54:12.136 areas including financial management, 00:54:12.160 --> 00:54:15.160 risk, compliance, internal controls and 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.736 internal and external audit processes 00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:20.760 and um I in my last 12 months I've been 00:54:21.680 --> 00:54:23.575 on the audit and risk committee with 00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:26.295 council of risk um and I think the audit 00:54:26.319 --> 00:54:27.976 committee really strengthens the trust 00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:30.055 that both counselors and the community 00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:32.456 have in our organization because there's 00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:34.856 that understanding of the um evaluation 00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:36.535 and review that's carried out by those 00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:38.776 independent members. Um and this charter 00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:41.256 demonstrates this and it can ensures 00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:43.256 that it continues to be that way. So I 00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.335 encourage continue to support the 00:54:45.359 --> 00:54:46.616 charter. Thank you. 00:54:46.640 --> 00:54:48.535 Thanks councelor Patterson and councelor 00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:50.295 Phelps would you like to speak to this 00:54:50.319 --> 00:54:51.496 item? 00:54:51.520 --> 00:54:54.055 Yes thank you man. Um so just just basic 00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:55.736 body of councelor Patterson has just 00:54:55.760 --> 00:54:57.016 said the audit and the rest committee 00:54:57.040 --> 00:54:59.976 are I think incredibly important to 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.000 council in general. Um the committee we 00:55:03.040 --> 00:55:05.976 have are very expert in what they do. 00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:07.496 they spoke and prime of all sorts of 00:55:07.520 --> 00:55:10.520 areas. Um I think it is really fantastic 00:55:10.720 --> 00:55:13.095 to have such an expert and independent 00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:14.696 group of people who really know what 00:55:14.720 --> 00:55:17.095 they're looking for and provide some 00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:20.119 excellent advice to to council. Um, so 00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:22.776 yeah, I support the the recommendation. 00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:23.416 Thank you. 00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:24.936 Thanks, Councelor Phelps. And would any 00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:25.976 other councilors like to speak? 00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:26.696 Councelor Barker. 00:55:26.720 --> 00:55:29.496 Thanks, M. Um, overall, I appreciate 00:55:29.520 --> 00:55:32.520 what the ordinary committee do. Um, I've 00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:35.496 sat in as an observer after being on the 00:55:35.520 --> 00:55:37.176 ordinary risk committee myself a few 00:55:37.200 --> 00:55:39.575 years ago. 00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:42.599 What did concern me is that while the 00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:45.736 technical aspects are okay, the the 00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:47.416 culture of the ordinary committee has 00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:49.016 become a bit of a cheerleader of the 00:55:49.040 --> 00:55:52.040 organization. And I recall that formally 00:55:53.200 --> 00:55:55.575 the ordinary risk committee would be an 00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:57.176 independent 00:55:57.200 --> 00:56:00.200 body that would perform critical 00:56:00.240 --> 00:56:03.240 assessments. Um, and that has reduced 00:56:04.640 --> 00:56:06.535 somewhat like we're ticking the box in 00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:09.176 terms of what we need to do. Um but it 00:56:09.200 --> 00:56:11.095 could be better. I don't think the 00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:12.295 auton risk committee should be a 00:56:12.319 --> 00:56:15.095 cheerleader for the organization. the 00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:16.936 only other concern that I have is that 00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:19.960 the amendments for the evaluation of the 00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:21.976 qualifications of the external 00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:25.000 independent members has now reduced from 00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.256 the CEO and two counselors to the CEO 00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:30.280 and one counselor. And I am not set in 00:56:31.520 --> 00:56:33.656 which way I'm going to vote on this. I 00:56:33.680 --> 00:56:35.256 think that having the CEO and one 00:56:35.280 --> 00:56:38.216 counselor is insufficient. Um, but if 00:56:38.240 --> 00:56:41.240 someone can sway my vote, then it'll get 00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:43.496 up. If they can't, then I'll vote 00:56:43.520 --> 00:56:45.656 against it. 00:56:45.680 --> 00:56:47.575 Thanks, Councelor Barker. And would any 00:56:47.599 --> 00:56:49.176 other councilors like to speak to this 00:56:49.200 --> 00:56:52.200 item? 00:56:54.720 --> 00:56:56.696 No. And councelor Patterson, would you 00:56:56.720 --> 00:56:59.720 like to make any closing comments? 00:57:01.040 --> 00:57:03.416 Thanks. I'll do my best to play 00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:05.335 Council Barker. 00:57:05.359 --> 00:57:07.575 Um, councelor Chris and I had the 00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:10.055 pleasure of interviewing for um, an 00:57:10.079 --> 00:57:13.079 independent panel member and um, we both 00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:17.960 um, worked hard to be able to come to 00:57:18.079 --> 00:57:21.079 those interviews and the like. Um, and I 00:57:21.680 --> 00:57:24.680 think ultimately being, you know, both 00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:28.535 counselors will always be invited and 00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:30.696 want to be part of it, but we don't want 00:57:30.720 --> 00:57:33.416 to be holding up interviews um because 00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:35.416 we can only get one counselor. We all 00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:38.440 have busy lives um and the like. So, I 00:57:38.640 --> 00:57:40.535 think if we have one counselor that 00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:42.775 represents the the value, you know, the 00:57:42.799 --> 00:57:45.095 interests of the council group, that is 00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:46.936 an adequate representation and can 00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:49.176 enable those interviews and the like to 00:57:49.200 --> 00:57:52.200 progress. So I think um it's always good 00:57:52.319 --> 00:57:54.295 to have more but well it's not always 00:57:54.319 --> 00:57:55.815 good to have more but you know it's fine 00:57:55.839 --> 00:57:58.216 to have two counselors but really one is 00:57:58.240 --> 00:58:00.055 adequate and that's why I think this 00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:03.079 change is good um in the in the policy. 00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:05.416 Thank you. 00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:07.016 Thanks Councelor Patterson. We'll now 00:58:07.040 --> 00:58:08.775 put the motion to a vote. All those in 00:58:08.799 --> 00:58:11.799 favor 00:58:13.680 --> 00:58:16.535 and against and the motion is carried 00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:19.559 61. Thank you councilors. 00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:23.880 Okay. Item 4.7 is the Anglesy um 00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:27.335 landfill rehabilitation stage 4 project 00:58:27.359 --> 00:58:29.176 and the purpose of the report is to seek 00:58:29.200 --> 00:58:31.575 council's approval of additional budget 00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:33.815 to support planned works for the 00:58:33.839 --> 00:58:35.815 rehabilitation of the Anglesy landfield 00:58:35.839 --> 00:58:38.839 during the 2526 budget year. We do 00:58:39.680 --> 00:58:42.295 have a recommendation before us. Would 00:58:42.319 --> 00:58:45.319 anyone like to move a motion? 00:58:45.680 --> 00:58:47.016 Council Crockett as per the 00:58:47.040 --> 00:58:47.896 recommendation. 00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:48.295 Yes. 00:58:48.319 --> 00:58:50.616 Thank you. And do we have a seconder for 00:58:50.640 --> 00:58:53.496 that? 00:58:53.520 --> 00:58:56.055 Councelor Patterson. Thank you. And 00:58:56.079 --> 00:58:57.496 councelor Crockett, would you like to 00:58:57.520 --> 00:59:00.520 speak to this item? Yeah, thank you. I 00:59:00.799 --> 00:59:02.936 am supportive of the um additional 00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:05.416 budget to facilitate efficient delivery 00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:08.440 of the works for the Angles landfill re 00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:10.055 rehabilitation. 00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:12.535 um waste management is important and and 00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:14.616 I know that there's actually many parts 00:59:14.640 --> 00:59:16.216 of the world that don't have waste 00:59:16.240 --> 00:59:19.176 management or a landfill arrangement. Um 00:59:19.200 --> 00:59:21.976 but this is our um council's mandated 00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:25.000 responsibility under legislation. Um so 00:59:25.520 --> 00:59:27.496 I'm confident in the recommendation to 00:59:27.520 --> 00:59:29.496 manage and schedule the works which will 00:59:29.520 --> 00:59:31.416 extend the landfill capacity for as long 00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:33.656 as possible which is the best financial 00:59:33.680 --> 00:59:36.680 outcome. Um but you know the impending 00:59:37.520 --> 00:59:40.055 closure of the landfill is a reminder 00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:42.376 that um when you put something in the 00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:45.400 bin it doesn't go away. Um and you know 00:59:45.520 --> 00:59:47.736 realistically manufacturers should be 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:50.055 responsible for the end of life of their 00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:52.616 products and packaging. Um, but you 00:59:52.640 --> 00:59:54.696 know, council is working to eliminate 00:59:54.720 --> 00:59:57.016 unnecessary packaging through the likes 00:59:57.040 --> 00:59:59.095 of the single-use items and packaging 00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:01.416 policy that came to our last council 01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:04.440 meeting or diverting organic material 01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:06.535 from landfill through our FOGO bins. 01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:08.616 But, um, you know, through all this, 01:00:08.640 --> 01:00:10.936 it's still no easy feat to be dealing 01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:13.256 with all this waste. Um, but it needs to 01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:15.256 be done and we all deserve a future 01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:17.256 where waste doesn't harm the environment 01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:19.896 or our health or the economy. 01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:22.216 Thanks councelor Crockett and councelor 01:00:22.240 --> 01:00:23.575 Patterson would you like to speak to 01:00:23.599 --> 01:00:25.416 this item? 01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:27.335 Yes I think councelor Crockett has 01:00:27.359 --> 01:00:29.256 covered most of it but really it's about 01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:32.280 bringing forward um just over a million 01:00:32.480 --> 01:00:35.480 dollars from the waste reserve um to to 01:00:36.160 --> 01:00:38.936 the angle rehabilitation blank re 01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:41.960 rehabilitation stage 4 project to enable 01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:44.376 um that delivery this current financial 01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:47.400 year. Um ultimately we want to the angle 01:00:48.240 --> 01:00:50.376 city landfill to last as long as it can 01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:52.535 so it can be as cost effective for 01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:55.335 council and enable council time to work 01:00:55.359 --> 01:00:57.736 out where where the waste will go down 01:00:57.760 --> 01:01:00.376 the track. Um and this is one of one 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:02.775 important um piece of that 01:01:02.799 --> 01:01:04.936 rehabilitation that's needed um and 01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:06.775 continue to have our our oper our 01:01:06.799 --> 01:01:09.799 landfill operating well. Um and so it's 01:01:10.799 --> 01:01:13.256 an important operational um thing that 01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:15.256 needs to happen. but it is a lot of 01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:16.616 money so it's important it's coming to 01:01:16.640 --> 01:01:18.535 council so I encourage my fellow 01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:20.535 councilors to support it. Thank you. 01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:22.376 Thanks councelor Patterson and would any 01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:23.896 other counselors like to speak to this 01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:25.416 item? 01:01:25.440 --> 01:01:26.535 Councelor Barker. 01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:28.616 Um few key points. It's legally required 01:01:28.640 --> 01:01:30.616 under EPA rules and I'd rather we focus 01:01:30.640 --> 01:01:33.640 on advocacy there in freeing them up a 01:01:33.680 --> 01:01:35.416 bit because the EPA rules are going to 01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:37.335 have significant impacts on councils 01:01:37.359 --> 01:01:39.256 across the state with regards to 01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:41.815 landfill rehabilitation. Um the redesign 01:01:41.839 --> 01:01:43.656 is needed because an early design um 01:01:43.680 --> 01:01:45.416 missed available air space and for those 01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:47.335 following at home air space is not the 01:01:47.359 --> 01:01:49.176 sky above but the cubic space that the 01:01:49.200 --> 01:01:52.200 landfill can take on. Um the revised 01:01:53.040 --> 01:01:55.176 plan does lower the long-term cost so 01:01:55.200 --> 01:01:57.335 that's a pretty good thing. Um and 01:01:57.359 --> 01:01:59.736 funded from the waste reserve where it 01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:02.760 technically should come from. Um, 01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:08.440 I'm conflicted because 01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:12.920 anytime that an error is made and it 01:02:12.960 --> 01:02:14.775 costs money 01:02:14.799 --> 01:02:17.416 in government, often that cost is not 01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:19.575 borne by the individual that created the 01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:22.295 problem. So what we're doing here or 01:02:22.319 --> 01:02:25.016 whether it's the um Karaf storm water 01:02:25.040 --> 01:02:27.896 project or a whole bunch of other issues 01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:30.920 we're coming in to fix a former error 01:02:31.200 --> 01:02:32.936 and what I would hope that the 01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:35.815 organization learns is that we need to 01:02:35.839 --> 01:02:37.335 make sure we get it right the first 01:02:37.359 --> 01:02:39.656 time. Learn why the error happened in 01:02:39.680 --> 01:02:41.656 the first place and then we can ensure 01:02:41.680 --> 01:02:44.680 that we don't have future waste in years 01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:47.416 down the track. So, I'm going to get my 01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:49.416 Christmas cheer back, give a little bit 01:02:49.440 --> 01:02:51.496 of support. We'll see how it goes on the 01:02:51.520 --> 01:02:53.656 next item. 01:02:53.680 --> 01:02:55.815 Thanks, Councelor Barker. Would any 01:02:55.839 --> 01:02:57.416 other counselors like to speak to this 01:02:57.440 --> 01:02:59.815 item? 01:02:59.839 --> 01:03:02.055 , councelor Walker, and then we'll go 01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:03.656 to councelor Phelps. So, councelor 01:03:03.680 --> 01:03:06.055 Walker. 01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:07.815 , thank you, Mayor, and thank you to 01:03:07.839 --> 01:03:09.656 fellow councils. you've um you've 01:03:09.680 --> 01:03:11.095 summarized a lot of things I was going 01:03:11.119 --> 01:03:14.119 to say, but um further on to council 01:03:14.640 --> 01:03:17.496 Crockett's comments around our landfill 01:03:17.520 --> 01:03:19.815 um you know to reach capacity around 01:03:19.839 --> 01:03:22.839 2030 if we did the right thing and we 01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:26.440 really tighten up our waste um you know 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:30.119 as um businesses, as community um what 01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:33.496 we choose to buy, what we choose to use, 01:03:33.520 --> 01:03:35.015 how we recycle and everything. we can 01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:37.335 extend that further and in turn we'll be 01:03:37.359 --> 01:03:39.656 saving more costs in the future. So 01:03:39.680 --> 01:03:41.015 let's try and get that projection to 01:03:41.039 --> 01:03:43.736 2040. That would be a great outcome. 01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:45.976 Never know. Um but no, thank you for 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:48.775 this and yeah, let's do the best to um 01:03:48.799 --> 01:03:50.696 you know get the most out of this site 01:03:50.720 --> 01:03:53.256 um years we can better. Thanks. 01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:54.856 Thanks Councelor Walker and councelor 01:03:54.880 --> 01:03:56.456 Phelps. 01:03:56.480 --> 01:03:58.535 Thank you, man. Yeah, this um so this 01:03:58.559 --> 01:04:00.456 this um million dollars that we're 01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:02.856 talking about brings forward roughly 01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:05.335 half a million dollars from stage five 01:04:05.359 --> 01:04:07.015 and there's a redesign stage four. I 01:04:07.039 --> 01:04:08.216 guess this sort of builds on what 01:04:08.240 --> 01:04:10.376 councelor Barker was saying in terms of 01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:13.256 the EPA and their requirements. We are 01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:14.616 playing a game where there's a moving 01:04:14.640 --> 01:04:17.095 goalpost. Um so um I think it's really 01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:19.416 hard to try and map out what's going to 01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:22.136 happen with the landfill up until it's 01:04:22.160 --> 01:04:24.775 closed and then finally sealed. Um I 01:04:24.799 --> 01:04:25.896 think you know we're doing the best or 01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:27.496 the council staff are doing the best but 01:04:27.520 --> 01:04:30.520 it it is a moving goalpost um and and 01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:32.456 hence we've got this this redesign 01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:34.456 happening and bringing forward half a 01:04:34.480 --> 01:04:37.256 million dollars extra expenditure early 01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:39.256 which will save us money down the track. 01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:40.696 It will be interesting to see how this 01:04:40.720 --> 01:04:42.936 plays out over the next few years and as 01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:44.535 councelor walkers just said the longer 01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:45.976 they last the better and everything we 01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:48.535 can do to make that last longer the the 01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:50.856 cheaper it is for a rap. Thank you. 01:04:50.880 --> 01:04:52.936 Thanks, Councelor Phelps. And any other 01:04:52.960 --> 01:04:55.015 counselors? 01:04:55.039 --> 01:04:56.535 No. And councelor Crockett, do you have 01:04:56.559 --> 01:04:57.815 any closing comments? 01:04:57.839 --> 01:04:58.696 No, thank you. 01:04:58.720 --> 01:05:00.696 Okay, we'll now put the motion to a 01:05:00.720 --> 01:05:03.720 vote.

So although we are able to 01:10:10.640 --> 01:10:13.256 debate as to whether or not that motion 01:10:13.280 --> 01:10:16.280 is admitted to urge of business, that 01:10:16.400 --> 01:10:18.456 debate should be limited to whether or 01:10:18.480 --> 01:10:21.016 not the item should be considered 01:10:21.040 --> 01:10:23.416 tonight, not whether or not the item 01:10:23.440 --> 01:10:25.256 should be supported. That will come 01:10:25.280 --> 01:10:27.816 after the um agreement to consider it as 01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:29.816 urgent business. Hopefully that all 01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:32.456 makes sense. So firstly, , do we have 01:10:32.480 --> 01:10:35.480 a mover of a motion to accept item 6.1 01:10:36.080 --> 01:10:37.816 as an item of urgent business? Councelor 01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:39.655 Patterson, thank you. And do we have a 01:10:39.679 --> 01:10:41.896 seconder for that? Councelor Crockett, 01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:44.135 thank you. 01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:46.776 And councelor P, did you want to speak 01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:48.936 to that item? 01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:51.175 I only to say that um, you had a 01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:52.695 different microphone because it's all 01:10:52.719 --> 01:10:55.016 crackers and you're kind of a bit funny. 01:10:55.040 --> 01:10:56.856 So if you could swap, please that would 01:10:56.880 --> 01:10:59.096 be great. Otherwise, there's more of a 01:10:59.120 --> 01:11:00.776 receive motion. So, I'm happy just to 01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:01.736 move the motion. 01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:03.416 Thanks, Councelor Patterson. And is that 01:11:03.440 --> 01:11:06.440 microphone better? Great. And councelor 01:11:06.880 --> 01:11:08.135 Crockett, did you want to speak to the 01:11:08.159 --> 01:11:09.096 item? 01:11:09.120 --> 01:11:09.416 Thank you. 01:11:09.440 --> 01:11:11.816 No. Did any councilors want to speak 01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:14.536 to the motion to accept this item as 01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:17.096 urgent business? 01:11:17.120 --> 01:11:19.096 No. We'll put the motion to a vote. All 01:11:19.120 --> 01:11:22.120 those in favor? 01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:25.800 And that motion is carried unanimously. 01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:28.840 so we will now consider 01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:32.600 item 6.1 which the purpose of this 01:11:33.199 --> 01:11:36.199 report is to present the S6A instrument 01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:39.576 of delegation to council for adoption. 01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:41.416 This newly created instrument is 01:11:41.440 --> 01:11:43.336 presented due to recent changes to the 01:11:43.360 --> 01:11:46.360 Planning and Environment Act 1987 and is 01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:48.856 presented as urgent business as officers 01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:50.616 may need to exercise the relevant 01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:53.256 powers, duties, and or functions prior 01:11:53.280 --> 01:11:55.896 to the next scheduled council meeting 01:11:55.920 --> 01:11:58.920 which is not until late February 2026. 01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:01.576 We do have a recommendation before us. 01:12:01.600 --> 01:12:04.600 does anyone wish to move a motion? 01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:07.576 Councelor Patterson, as per the 01:12:07.600 --> 01:12:10.456 recommendation. Thank you. And a second. 01:12:10.480 --> 01:12:12.056 Can you Is it possible to get it 01:12:12.080 --> 01:12:14.776 displayed cuz it's um people wouldn't 01:12:14.800 --> 01:12:16.056 have been able to see it's not in the 01:12:16.080 --> 01:12:17.736 agenda. Is it possible just to get it up 01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:19.976 on the screen cuz I know all the other 01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:22.936 agendas that has been 01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:24.056 I don't know if that's too 01:12:24.080 --> 01:12:25.175 Yes. No, I think 01:12:25.199 --> 01:12:26.296 might be good to display. 01:12:26.320 --> 01:12:28.936 Yep. Governance is um getting that up on 01:12:28.960 --> 01:12:30.616 the screen for us, Councelor Patterson. 01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:32.135 So, we'll just wait a moment while that 01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:33.096 happens. 01:12:33.120 --> 01:12:36.120 Thank you. 01:12:57.199 --> 01:13:00.199 Can everybody read that? 01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:02.296 Yep. 01:13:02.320 --> 01:13:04.936 We'll just give you a moment to to read 01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:07.960 through it. 01:13:20.400 --> 01:13:23.400 Okay. And councelor Patterson, just 01:13:23.520 --> 01:13:25.976 to confirm, you were happy to move that 01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:29.000 item as per the recommendation. 01:13:32.800 --> 01:13:35.655 Yes. And do we have a seconder? We might 01:13:35.679 --> 01:13:37.496 need to take the recommendation down 01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:39.175 now. Governor, thank you. Do we have a 01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:42.199 seconder for that item? 01:13:43.199 --> 01:13:46.199 Councelor Phelps. Thank you.

As for the the last button 01:13:53.600 --> 01:13:56.600 that we've just passed, um this is it's 01:13:57.040 --> 01:13:59.016 more of a procedural administrative type 01:13:59.040 --> 01:14:01.736 motion which um delegates powers to the 01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:04.695 two officers and it's a requirement from 01:14:04.719 --> 01:14:06.856 state government and given that it's 01:14:06.880 --> 01:14:08.616 come through and there's not a lot of 01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:11.640 time um you know from to to present it 01:14:11.679 --> 01:14:13.096 as it would normally be through the 01:14:13.120 --> 01:14:14.695 papers, it's important it's come through 01:14:14.719 --> 01:14:16.616 as urgent business and there's quite 01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:19.175 some time um to our next council 01:14:19.199 --> 01:14:22.199 meeting. So, , I encourage my councils 01:14:22.400 --> 01:14:24.376 to support this motion. Thank you. 01:14:24.400 --> 01:14:25.736 Thanks, councelor Patterson. And 01:14:25.760 --> 01:14:27.336 councelor Phelps, would you like to 01:14:27.360 --> 01:14:28.776 speak to this item? 01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:30.376 I just to say councelor person has 01:14:30.400 --> 01:14:32.215 covered it. I think um it's something 01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:35.239 that it is um a bit of paperwork, so to 01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:38.456 speak, that we need to tick off. Um, 01:14:38.480 --> 01:14:40.215 nothing further to add. Thank you. 01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:41.976 Thanks, Councelor Phelps and Council 01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:42.936 Barker. 01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:45.416 Yeah, I appreciate that this is somewhat 01:14:45.440 --> 01:14:47.976 similar to the previous item, but it's 01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:50.135 quite different. um the delegation shift 01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:52.695 powers of decision-m away from 01:14:52.719 --> 01:14:54.936 councilors. Now that that's a pretty 01:14:54.960 --> 01:14:57.736 important statement there. Um SXA 01:14:57.760 --> 01:14:59.976 instrument hand staff several powers 01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:01.655 under the amended sections of the 01:15:01.679 --> 01:15:03.896 planning environment act 1987 and that's 01:15:03.920 --> 01:15:05.576 deciding whether to seek authorization 01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:07.175 from the minister to start planning 01:15:07.199 --> 01:15:09.016 scheme amendment um notifying the 01:15:09.040 --> 01:15:11.016 minister of decisions or preparing 01:15:11.040 --> 01:15:12.856 amendments with or without ministerial 01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:15.816 authorization. Um these are significant 01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:17.896 strategic powers and they've been rushed 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:19.736 through. 01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:22.456 Now 01:15:22.480 --> 01:15:24.536 the autonomy may also shift upwards 01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:26.056 towards the minister. The the new 01:15:26.080 --> 01:15:29.080 legislation itself pushes more power to 01:15:29.199 --> 01:15:30.936 the minister. Now councilors have not 01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:32.376 had an opportunity to review this 01:15:32.400 --> 01:15:35.256 legislation um in full. It's only just 01:15:35.280 --> 01:15:36.695 recently being passed through 01:15:36.719 --> 01:15:39.719 parliament. Um it'll have increased 01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:41.976 authorization steps, some stricter time 01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:44.936 frames, expanded circumstances where a 01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:47.175 council must act. So that's a state 01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:49.496 telling us what we must do where 01:15:49.520 --> 01:15:51.016 previously we would have had more 01:15:51.040 --> 01:15:54.040 autonomy. Um the report only came 01:15:54.480 --> 01:15:57.256 through today. Um we've not had a chance 01:15:57.280 --> 01:15:59.655 to be briefed fully. we've not had a 01:15:59.679 --> 01:16:02.215 chance to workshop real world scenarios. 01:16:02.239 --> 01:16:04.616 Um 01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:06.135 generally there's some internal 01:16:06.159 --> 01:16:09.159 discussion and then we'll consider 01:16:09.440 --> 01:16:12.440 adopting. Um, I can see the need to move 01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:17.896 this as urgent business to facilitate 01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:20.616 some processes that we've got underway. 01:16:20.640 --> 01:16:23.640 But in further like I've had bugger all 01:16:23.679 --> 01:16:25.976 time to get into this. But already I'm 01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:28.456 seeing some very very very significant 01:16:28.480 --> 01:16:31.480 warning signs that while it may create 01:16:32.719 --> 01:16:35.719 some benefit, it also creates far more 01:16:36.800 --> 01:16:39.800 potential risks. And 01:16:40.719 --> 01:16:42.616 like the delegation conditions state 01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:45.256 that the powers must not be exercised 01:16:45.280 --> 01:16:47.256 where a decision would contradict a 01:16:47.280 --> 01:16:50.280 policy or strategy adopted by council. 01:16:50.400 --> 01:16:52.936 But these are major powers that council 01:16:52.960 --> 01:16:55.960 is delegating to officers and unless 01:16:56.880 --> 01:16:59.880 we've got people on council who can 01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:02.616 allay my fears, 01:17:02.640 --> 01:17:05.640 um I I cannot support it. I I see the 01:17:06.080 --> 01:17:09.080 the benefits that it creates, but 01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:12.840 anytime the government rushes anything, 01:17:13.280 --> 01:17:15.256 there are unintended consequences that 01:17:15.280 --> 01:17:17.336 are attached to that. And this is one of 01:17:17.360 --> 01:17:20.360 those items that we cannot foresee 01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:22.776 exactly what's going to happen, but I 01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:24.695 can guarantee you if we rush this 01:17:24.719 --> 01:17:27.016 through now, there will be harms to the 01:17:27.040 --> 01:17:28.776 community as a result. And for that, I 01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:30.296 will not support it. 01:17:30.320 --> 01:17:32.616 Thanks, Councelor Barker. And would any 01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:34.135 other councilors like to speak to this 01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:37.159 item? 01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:43.000 No. And um could I just ask a 01:17:43.360 --> 01:17:45.736 question of officers please just in 01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:48.760 relation to this item. Um if 01:17:50.320 --> 01:17:53.256 councilors were not to approve this 01:17:53.280 --> 01:17:56.280 motion tonight would it what would be 01:17:56.960 --> 01:17:58.536 the impact of holding it over to 01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:00.135 February or would a special council 01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:03.096 meeting be required um to make a 01:18:03.120 --> 01:18:06.120 decision sooner than that? 01:18:07.040 --> 01:18:09.736 So through you through you may um so we 01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:11.336 have a couple of plan scheme amendments 01:18:11.360 --> 01:18:13.736 on hand at the moment. Council resolved 01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:16.760 to progress one at its last meeting. Um 01:18:17.280 --> 01:18:19.175 I haven't had the opportunity to talk 01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:22.199 through the um the implications the the 01:18:22.960 --> 01:18:24.776 the 01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:27.016 opportunity to have access to the most 01:18:27.040 --> 01:18:28.776 upto-ate 01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:30.695 um delegations that are in accordance 01:18:30.719 --> 01:18:32.936 with the current legislation. It's 01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:34.056 helpful when you've got any planning 01:18:34.080 --> 01:18:36.536 scheme amendments on hand. If there was 01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:38.456 a delay till February, it would just 01:18:38.480 --> 01:18:40.056 create a delay in the progression of 01:18:40.080 --> 01:18:41.496 those amendments. So, it's not a 01:18:41.520 --> 01:18:44.520 showstopper. Um, it's just a time delay. 01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:47.560 Okay. Thanks, Mr. Park. And, , 01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:50.215 Councelor Patterson, did you want to 01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:53.239 make any closing comments? 01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:56.920 , just to say, as others have said, 01:18:57.280 --> 01:18:59.496 this has come down quite quickly. When I 01:18:59.520 --> 01:19:02.520 had a look um at the reforms the recent 01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:07.800 planning reforms through this um 01:19:08.400 --> 01:19:11.400 division one 1A part three um you know 01:19:11.920 --> 01:19:14.776 it it does seem more of a um some of the 01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:17.800 streamlining some processes and um some 01:19:19.040 --> 01:19:20.616 of the key changes when I've looked into 01:19:20.640 --> 01:19:22.135 it that have been highlighted are some 01:19:22.159 --> 01:19:25.159 things around a new clear process um 01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:27.336 requires council and others to seek 01:19:27.360 --> 01:19:29.496 minister approval before preparing. I 01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:31.256 mean it's all quite complex planning 01:19:31.280 --> 01:19:33.016 things but I think at the end of the day 01:19:33.040 --> 01:19:35.576 our officers are the ones that are best 01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:38.600 to do those um to to undertake those 01:19:38.640 --> 01:19:40.616 activities and that's why we have these 01:19:40.640 --> 01:19:43.576 delegations to our officers to do those 01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:46.600 um and I encourage my fellow councils 01:19:47.199 --> 01:19:49.816 to support this so that we can we're not 01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:51.576 holding things up. A lot of the 01:19:51.600 --> 01:19:52.856 complaints of a lot of government is 01:19:52.880 --> 01:19:53.976 that sometimes we're getting in the way 01:19:54.000 --> 01:19:55.416 and hold things up. And I think we 01:19:55.440 --> 01:19:57.896 should um allow these things to continue 01:19:57.920 --> 01:20:00.215 on while because the next council 01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:02.056 meeting isn't until February. Obviously, 01:20:02.080 --> 01:20:03.256 if it doesn't get through when it's 01:20:03.280 --> 01:20:05.256 needed, then we can always um have 01:20:05.280 --> 01:20:06.616 another council meeting. We can come 01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:09.096 back to do it if we need to. But you 01:20:09.120 --> 01:20:10.776 know, it may be simpler that we pass it 01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:12.056 tonight. Thank you. 01:20:12.080 --> 01:20:13.816 Thanks, Councelor Patterson. And 01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:15.416 we'll now put the motion to a vote.
