1. Councillor P Funnell raised concerns regarding the Sealing of Tooyal Road, following Councils resolution on 24 April 2017. No action has happened in three months. What is Councils compliance, the owners’ responsibilities, and the timeframes for action to take place?
2. Councillor P Funnell requested in writing details regarding the delivery of the Multi-Purpose Stadium (MPS), such as when, whom, how and the completion date.
3. Councillor K Pascoe requested Council to further review the Local Government Act, and liaise with the Office of Local Government regarding reports going to Council for small donation amounts. Why are they coming through to Council as a report, can they be added to the finance report?
