Note from Council Building Infrastructure and other projects often results in an increase in economic activity that in turns increases revenue that is collected from the State and Federal Government. Often the cost of maintaining and managing the asset falls to local councils who have limited capacity to benefit directly and quickly from the increased economic outcomes. |

QUESTIONS/BUSINESS WITH NOTICE
The following Questions/Business with Notice to be addressed through the next available business paper:
|
1. Councillor D Hayes acknowledged staff for acting on the Wagga Masters Games and queried whether staff were aware of the concerns from other organisations in regard to the organiser of the Wagga Masters Games not delivering on other events? If so, when did they become aware?
2. Councillor D Hayes requested an update on the building (possible sewer pump station) on Simmons Street between Lampe and Crampton Streets, given a fence has been erected around it for 18 months or more.

4. Councillor D Hayes noted that in September 2015, Council moved a motion which included a workshop on Airbnb type residences occurring in Wagga. The workshop planned for the following month was cancelled. Will this workshop occur, or is it no longer deemed necessary despite being voted on?
