QUESTIONS/BUSINESS WITH NOTICE

The following Questions / Business with Notice were raised and will be addressed in the next available Business Paper:

1. Councillor D Hayes requested if Council could receive information or a quarterly report on what information Council should be receiving from its involvement in external committees that we elect to have representation on? Those being Murray Darling Association, Conservatorium of Music, Rural Fire Service Agreement Management Committee, and Riverina Water.

2. Councillor D Hayes requested advice on what Motions were put to the Local Government NSW Conference by Council in October this year that were not supported.

3. Councillor T Koschel has been contacted by a group called Ozfish, a group of local volunteers who clean up the waterways around the area. The group recently cleaned up around 1.5 tonnes of rubbish from the Eunony Bridge area. The group have attempted to contact Council about getting the Gregadoo Waste Management fee reimbursed, but have not received a response back. Can Council staff contact the group to further discuss the matter.

4. Councillor K Pascoe requested that traffic islands throughout the City be cleaned up as there are high weeds on some of these traffic islands.

5. Councillor K Pascoe requested information on why Council only allows itself to certify construction in the Lloyd subdivision by excluding private certifiers. A builder has been in contact with Councillor Pascoe to advise it takes about four to five weeks for Council approval, opposed to only about one week with a private certifier.

6. Councillor K Pascoe requested a report back on details regarding salinity in the Lloyd subdivision.

7. Councillor P Funnell requested information on Council’s compliance regime in reference to fairness to food outlets where a bricks and mortar business trading for over 30 years has been made to jump through hoops to serve coffee when food trucks are being approved without the same rigour.

8.
