00:20:17.480 technology technolog is changing all the 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.440 time how that will change in the coming 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:22.400 year and the coming years and the life 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:25.279 cycles of the technology to enable 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:28.759 charging charging of charging in a sense 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:31.960 to be there I'm not sure of how that 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:33.640 technolog is developing at this point in 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:35.400 time but again I'll take that on notice 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.079 and get that answer cool thank you 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.799 Madam Mayor I suppose in relation to 00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:41.440 that that's the all my questions for the 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:43.240 moment there are others but for the 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:47.039 most part I voed my key frustrations 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:48.480 in the fees and charges at least for the 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:50.920 moment everything you've heard before 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.400 moving then to the draft operational 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:56.480 plan and this is where I I become super 00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:58.160 conflicted cuz there is lots of good 00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.039 stuff in in here that there is no doubt 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.599 about that and as I currently chair 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.680 the diverse economy uh portfolio uh I 00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.400 thought I'd focus on it and 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.680 unfortunately when I look at the page 31 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.279 in the docent labeled operational plan 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.440 and budget 2024 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:20.359 2025 there are lots of good things but I 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.160 don't know that certainly how our 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:25.440 portfolio functions and what I look for 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.640 personally is well reflected at least 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:29.200 for this portfolio 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.240 and for exAMple we start off strategy 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:33.160 supporting in plans circular economy 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:35.799 frAMework absolutely 100% destination 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:38.440 management plan absolutely 100% Arts 00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:40.960 Heritage and cultural plan I don't know 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:42.279 whether that one's in the right spot 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:43.960 environmental sustainability strategy 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.319 and action plan once again don't really 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:50.279 know and event and Festival strategy 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.119 I can understand the economic piece but 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.119 they seem like such minor factors of a 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.079 city that has a 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:01.519 enormous impact in terms of financial 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:03.680 like we are a really big deal like 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.839 Council on its own and the city across 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:10.160 the board I think 25 billion GDP give or 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.240 take happy to be corrected on that 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.680 someone who's looked at those nbers 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.240 more more recently very close but but 00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:18.960 certainly big big nbers and some of 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:20.240 these things although they're important 00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:21.680 I understand for those small operators 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.839 these are a big deal on the wider scale 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.119 I think we've got bigger fish to fry 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.559 and so there's that and then I just run 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:29.440 through the measures of six uccess 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.440 City's Regional product is increasing 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:35.880 absolutely 100% behind that City's 00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.720 employment growth matches Workforce 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.480 growth 100% nber of visitors day trips 00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.480 and overnight once again 100% behind 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.119 that one the nber of business involved 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.960 in the circular economy in the hunter 00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:47.839 region is increasing once again I think 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.279 that's an awesome thing I think we are 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:51.039 leading the way in this concept of 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.680 circular economy and diversifying what 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.200 we have the nber of businesses in the 00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:57.920 city that employ one or more people is 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.039 increasing once again one of our key 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.160 strengths is the diversity of our small 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.599 employers that's one thing that has 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:07.119 always impressed me most about our city 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.839 we have a very very large and 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:12.480 disproportionate nber of 00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:14.720 entrepreneurial people uh who are taking 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:16.599 this city forward satisfaction with new 00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.359 development that one's always tough but 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.240 I think we are getting on on on top of 00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:21.759 that one Hunter region business 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:23.480 confidence and sentiment is increasing 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:24.480 yeah once again hopefully if 00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:25.799 everything's going well that would go as 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:27.640 well the next one the nber of people 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.640 living within a 10-minute bicycle 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.160 catchment of economic centers is 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.079 increasing I look at that and I go I I 00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:36.839 just don't get it I I don't remember 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.200 that being discussed as a kpi previously 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:41.880 certainly not at a diverse economy 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:44.039 meeting or I missed it and so there 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:46.720 are some irks to be worked through this 00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:48.599 and in response to that mad may I 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.200 encourage residents to have their say 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.000 the key bit here is these docents are 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.440 not perfect there's lots of fantastic 00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:58.960 stuff I agree in full maybe even 98% of 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:02.000 it is fantastic but take the time have a 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.160 look and if you've got an opinion by all 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.319 means express it thank you Madam May 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:08.440 thank you councel 00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.359 ping councelor Ed F uh yes thank you 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.640 Madam May and uh I would also encourage 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.480 all members of the community to look at 00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.359 the docent to analyze it to look at 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.559 the things that are in there and put 00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:24.400 forward their opinions whether that be 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:26.720 suggestions for changes or improvements 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.000 or suggestions to encourage enourage the 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.599 direction in which we're going and I 00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:33.319 suspect there's no one in this room who 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:35.279 would be surprised with me wanting to 00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:37.640 speak tonight to uh mention the West 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.680 walls in second pool which has been a 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:43.440 longtime issue for the northwest of the 00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:46.079 city and uh I appreciate it being 00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:49.359 mentioned thank you councelor Schulz and 00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:51.240 I think it also highlights the 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:55.559 importance of advocacy which is our role 00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:56.440 and 00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:58.720 persistence which uh is something that 00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:00.599 we need to hold on to with issues that 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.319 are important to us and the uh exciting 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.160 part of that is if we're looking forward 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.960 to at some point in the near future 00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:10.240 opening the second pool at West walls 00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:13.279 end I can start being an advocate and be 00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:15.279 persistent with many other issues 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:17.319 associated with the northwest of the 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.599 city I think that uh this particular or 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:23.400 these docents that going out for 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:27.240 public consultation show that we are 00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.599 investing we are investing in the 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:34.000 lifestyle of our city which is our 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:36.839 greatest commodity and we are investing 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:39.279 in our people which is an even more 00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.279 important commodity in line with 00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:44.880 lifestyle and also by looking at the 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.880 playgrounds the pools the community 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.000 centers cycle ways and many of the other 00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.160 things that are highlighted in this 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:55.319 we're investing in young and we're 00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.279 investing in Old we're investing a cross 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.079 our community to make sure that we will 00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:06.160 build an improved City for the future 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.839 and whilst it's obvious that we would 00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.279 always like to do more and we would 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:13.880 always like to work faster I think the 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:16.920 important thing that this also shows is 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.599 that we as a council know how to live 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:22.720 within our means and create an 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:25.599 expectation that is achievable into the 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.799 long-term future because ultimately 00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:31.200 the people who vote for us are the 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.039 people who were paying the bills for 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.000 these things to happen so I would 00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:37.359 certainly encourage every member of the 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:39.279 community to have a look at this and 00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:41.279 give us your comments the good and the 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.519 bad don't just do the bad give us give 00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:45.039 us some positive as well as negative 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:46.559 feedback so that we can make 00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:48.839 improvements but definitely have your 00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:54.279 say and I think that it creates a very 00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:56.599 good substantial view to the community 00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.359 that this Council would works well for 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.559 them but particularly within our means 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:05.640 to achieve what we would like to do even 00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:08.079 with our constant advocacy and 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:10.240 persistence thank you Madam Mayor thank 00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:11.200 you Council 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.519 AdAM council's obviously obious 00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:15.599 supporting putting this out on public 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:17.880 exhibition I think placing the draft 00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:19.880 operational plan including the draft 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:22.799 budget the fees and charges for 2024 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:24.720 2025 on public exhibition is a 00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:26.880 significant milestone for council's 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:28.720 contract with the community I think it 00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:30.240 was important Council Pauling talked 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:32.279 about it council ad talked about us 00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.400 putting this AdAM public exhibition and 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.720 wanting to hear from the community 00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:37.319 wanted to hear their input and their 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:39.920 views on what we're placing out there 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:41.559 the docents uh we are considering 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:43.279 tonight are the result of significant 00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:45.799 counselor and staff input over the past 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:47.200 6 months to deliver a plan which 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:51.599 outlines 128 actions and a $380 million 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:54.599 budgeted spend despite the challenging 00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:56.279 economic circstances currently 00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.640 impacting our sector the draft uh budget 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.279 forecasts and operating surplus of 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.319 $550,000 which we should be very proud 00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:07.440 of in our Focus areas of lifestyle and 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:09.359 well-being and mobility and 00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:11.160 accessibility we have increased our 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:13.880 spend by more than $20 million compared 00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:17.039 to four years ago and over the last four 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.920 years we have invested in assets of $44 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:22.279 million in community and sporting 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:25.799 facilities $29 million in parks and 00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:29.519

Capital works I know they've 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:38.839 already been spoken of but I want to 00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:41.039 just restate them as well and I think 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.759 one of the big ones for us is the Hunter 00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:44.079 Sports Center 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:46.680 expansion unfortunately councilors I 00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.400 won't be the Mayor when that's opened 00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:50.799 another Mayor will have the pleasure of 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:52.480 cutting the ribbon but that will be a 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:54.440 very big announcement and a very big win 00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:56.640 for our residents of lake mcquire in the 00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.119 waterer region obviously a replacement 00:28:59.200 -->

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:28.039 app and you're seconding that Council 00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:30.119 Schulz thank you are you wishing to 00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.079 speak H Council 00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:37.680 Pauling Council Pauling yes thank you 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.119 Madam Mayor uh I just I think this 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.079 Council for for large part has operated 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:45.799 on a risk-based strategy for quite some 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:47.799 time and but I think there's an element 00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:49.359 of maturity that we're demonstrating 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:51.039 here and that we're committing this to 00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.480 policy we're committing the frAMework 00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:55.400 and the principles that we will follow 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:57.359 in our risk management and approach to 00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:59.039 risk in the decisions that we make into 00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.599 the future uh as in that regard it's for 00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:04.160 me it's almost like a that formalization 00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:06.359 and coming of age for behaviors that 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:08.480 we've exhibited for some time and in my 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.119 time on Council I've seen that change 00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:13.119 at various times there's been greater 00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:15.119 appetite for risk or lesser appetite for 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.079 risk depending how that may be and 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:19.240 when you read the docent it's quite 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:21.519 simple quite quite simplistic in its 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:24.200 statements but it makes it very clear 00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:26.519 that we will assess the situation on its 00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:28.559 merits we will take some inputs and 00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:30.559 we'll make a 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.480 reasonable risk appropriate decision as 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:35.160 an outcome uh and I think that's 00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:37.200 fantastic so accordingly I commend it to 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:39.640 other counselors and uh I I thank staff 00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:41.240 for bringing this putting this together 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.000 and putting it in front of us thank you 00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.759 Madam May thank you councilor Paulie I 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.240 want to thank you for being on the audit 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:50.599 risk and Improvement committee so 00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:52.759 you've had a big hand in all of this and 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:54.640 it's great to have you on that committee 00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:56.759 uh Council Schultz uh thank you Madam 00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:59.400 Mayor just wanted to speak briefly uh 00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:01.200 just acknowledging that the risk 00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:03.440 appetite statement sets the tone for 00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:05.799 risk management uh and implementation 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:09.000 throughout Lake mcari City Council uh 00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:11.559 council's risk appetite is contained in 00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:13.880 the following principles so uh Council 00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.680 polling referred to them but I just 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:17.440 wanted to call them out just so that 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.000 everyone's Crystal Clear uh council is 00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:23.160 open to measured risk taking to pursue 00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:25.160 opportunities uh for the benefit of the 00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:27.319 community so you know risk isn't always 00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.000 good or bad uh it's on a Continu and 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.680 we need to identify risk uh that we can 00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:36.400 engage with and and you know make it our 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.599 own however counsil council is 00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:41.839 conservative in managing its financial 00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:44.319 position uh to ensure long-term 00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.799 Financial sustainability uh council is 00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:51.279 open to exploring Innovative activities 00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:55.240 absolutely uh council is conservative in 00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:57.839 protecting the information that we have 00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.759 have uh that goes it's a it's a 00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.880 no-brainer uh and Council has no 00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:06.839 appetite no appetite whatsoever for 00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.680 behaviors about serious wrongdoing such 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:13.240 as fraud corruption or unsafe activities 00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.960 so I think in terms of this risk 00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:18.799 appetite statement it encapsulates the 00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.920 good risk the bad risk and how we look 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.720 as a council to navigate through this 00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:26.400 and make sure that we deliver for our 00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:30.000 community thank you thank you councelor 00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.920 Schulz councelor adite uh yes thank you 00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:35.799 Madam May uh very briefly uh because uh 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:37.799 councelor Paulie and councelor schz have 00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:40.039 covered this topic really quite well I 00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:41.440 think it's important that people are 00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.079 aware that whilst they do see the 00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.400 results of our operational plans they do 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:48.359 see the things we build the things we 00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:50.759 repair they don't necessarily see or 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.680 take particular notice to docents such 00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.920 as this and it is like the foundation of 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.559 the way in which the council operates by 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.759 having a risk statement and that risk 00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.759 statement ensures that the structures 00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:10.679 and the processes and the probity of the 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.119 council are being considered all of the 00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:15.880 time to make sure that we are a council 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:20.719 that takes reasonable risk and takes 00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:23.320 decisions that are going to ensure that 00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:26.320 we are not at risk and I would encourage 00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:27.960 everyone to support this docent MadAM 00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:29.039 May thank 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.559 you councel

moving that do you wish 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.079 to speak uh just very briefly Madam 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.480 Mayor we have gone through the 00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:49.199 process of putting this out to the 00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:52.760 community there have been parts of this 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:54.320 particular docent that have been 00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:57.480 slightly changed there was one at 00:42:57.559 --> 00:42:59.440 Valentine and this is a similar 00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:01.880 situation at Edgeworth where I believe 00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:05.360 that it it is complex in terms of the 00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:07.639 locality with what we're proposing this 00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:09.280 doesn't mean that in future we can't 00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:11.639 revisit rezoning land and look at some 00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:14.039 of the issues but uh I think this is 00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.280 probably a prudent way to move forward 00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:19.199 recently we had uh an item come up to us 00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:22.119 and uh one of the councilors suggested 00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:25.239 that we had reson something and that's 00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.320 why the building was is permissible and 00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:30.239 if we didn't like it we shouldn't do it 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:31.320 I feel this is one of those 00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:33.599 circstances in which at this point in 00:43:33.679 --> 00:43:35.679 time I don't feel comfortable with it 00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:37.400 and it would be best to leave it out at 00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:41.000 this point Madam Mayor thank 00:43:41.079 --> 00:43:43.679 you uh Council Schulz uh thank you 00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:45.960 Madam Mayor I speak in support of the 00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:48.559 AMended motion I just wanted to follow 00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:51.440 on from Council AdAM th noting that uh 00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:54.000 you know this has been uh in train for a 00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:55.960 nber of years it's strategic Urban 00:43:56.039 --> 00:44:00.079 infill uh consultation was extensive uh 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.159 Council wrote to more than 9,000 00:44:03.239 --> 00:44:05.159 property owners and affected ad joining 00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:08.039 owners uh there were 300 responses or 00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:10.559 submissions that cAMe back 00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:13.400 adjustments were made this is a nuanced 00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:17.239 uh approach in terms of the AMended 00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:20.440 emotion uh you know based on feedback 00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.639 that councel Aden has received we're 00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:27.079 able to adjust things so in terms of 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:30.480 this proposal it's in close proximity to 00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:33.880 T Town centers and existing Services uh 00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:37.079 we have an aging population uh this has 00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:38.920 the potential to allow people to 00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:42.000 downsize and stay in their suburb in the 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:43.840 locality and close to their their 00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:46.960 friends as I said the the proposals are 00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:49.360 quite modest and they're consistent 00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:51.880 consistent with council's adopted 00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:55.199 housing strategy with this infill 00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:57.719 proposal it can effectively 00:44:57.800 --> 00:44:59.920 take place in the next few months and it 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.559 it demonstrates a proactive approach 00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:05.039 from this Council in terms of 00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:07.920 improvements in in housing Supply and 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:10.960 diversity across the city at a time of 00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:13.920 of high need with the the housing crisis 00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:15.920 that Australia and particularly here in 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:17.599 New South Wales that we're 00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:20.440 experiencing at the moment as I 00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:23.280 understand it in Lake mcquary uh we need 00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:27.000 more diversity of housing 85% of our 00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:28.760 houses here are single detached 00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:31.159 dwellings this should improve our 00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:34.440 livability and lifestyle for residents 00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:37.920 also just in terms of uh it it 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:39.760 potentially reduces the 00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:44.320 need uh for additional Green Field Green 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:47.280 Field development so it reduces the need 00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:50.239 for you know clearing of bush land we 00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.760 have native vegetation targets here in 00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:55.519 Lake mcari I think in the vicinity of 00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.559 about 5 7 57 a half% that we uh aim to 00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:02.800 achieve to maintain our our native 00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:05.039 vegetation and of course in a growing 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:08.639 city there will always be some level of 00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:12.199 urban sprawl if you like but strategies 00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:16.719 like this minimize the need uh for 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:19.360 that in in the most part so I commend 00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:21.480 the recommendation and I thinkk Council 00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:24.840 AdAM th for for making a nuanced uh 00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:27.599 logical uh adjustment to the this 00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.039 proposal thank 00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:32.519 you councelor Pauling thank you Madam 00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:34.559 May I don't have many positives to 00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:36.000 add I think councelor Schulz did an 00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:37.960 excellent job in that regard so I'm 00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:40.320 cudos to him uh the reason that that I 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:43.440 want to speak though is for my mind this 00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:45.400 concept has been a long time coming 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:46.719 the infield is something that 00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:48.480 traditionally we haven't done as well as 00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:50.920 we could and certainly there is 00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:53.239 opportunity for our our community nodes 00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:56.079 our transport nodes there is lots of 00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:58.679 opportunity here and for me the 00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:00.000 compromise that that's been brought 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:01.760 forward this evening happen to Second it 00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:04.000 it's less a consideration to me but 00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:08.119 it seems in the interest of councilor 00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:09.760 Harmony and if that gets this 00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:12.000 unanimously supported for me that's a 00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:14.280 very very small price to pay Merit or 00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:17.760 not because there is so much substance 00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:19.480 in the main body of the docent there 00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.400 are so many Fantastic things that really 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:24.239 starts to shape the way that our city 00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:27.000 will look where our citizens will will 00:47:27.079 --> 00:47:29.719 live how they'll get around and it's 00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:32.800 it's as I said there is just so much 00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.320 substance in the main body that a couple 00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:36.719 of streets here and there that we can 00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:38.599 always revisit later as has been 00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:40.639 highlighted seems a very very small 00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:42.599 price to pay if that gets us all on the 00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:44.159 sAMe page and that's why I'm 00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:45.960 wholeheartedly supporting this thank you 00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:48.599 Madam May thank you councilor 00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:54.000 Pauling councilor Greg thank you m 00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.840 May that's right 00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:01.199 thank you madAM Mayor 00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:04.280 I note in this submission there's 00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.679 304 uh respondents to the proposal and 00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:12.360 that 241 opposed this those who are 00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:14.960 for this proposal are only 14 which is 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:18.840 4.6% of the responders against 241 which 00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:21.239 is 79% of the 00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:23.159 responders MadAM Mayor I'll stay right 00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:24.679 up front that I'm not against 00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:27.119 immigration I'm not against uh Mr ha's 00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:29.800 recommendation here but when taking such 00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:31.800 high nbers of immigrants with which 00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:34.840 the country cannot cope makes it an 00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.599 exception the uh the proposal refers to 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:39.719 the housing crisis that we have and I 00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:41.119 think it's something that desperately 00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:43.440 needs addressing so my question Madam 00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:44.960 Mayor on this proposal is what is our 00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:46.960 government's obsession with 00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:49.400 immigration why is immigration so urgent 00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:50.920 for us especially when we haven't got 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:52.760 the means or enough affordable housing 00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:54.920 for our very own population right now 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:57.719 councelor Greg I I understand where 00:48:57.800 --> 00:48:59.800 you're coming from this is uh this is a 00:48:59.880 --> 00:49:01.400 docent that we've been working on for 00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:03.239 a nber of years and it's dealing with 00:49:03.320 --> 00:49:05.519 infill housing which is we have the 00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:07.800 urban sprawl in our city so we're just 00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:10.039 trying to keep more density around 00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:13.920 our town centers it has no relevance 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.440 as far as I'm aware to immigration or 00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:18.719 probably public or government 00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:21.320 proposal it's about us trying to build a 00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:24.199 city that everyone can be part of and if 00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:26.639 you want to downsize and live near the 00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:28.480 Services that's what we're trying to do 00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:30.719 here mad may I appreciate that I'm I'm 00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:33.519 not against this proposal on its own I'm 00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:36.199 just concerned very concerned about the 00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.400 population increase in the future and in 00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:42.599 January alone we had 55,000 people new 00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:44.360 immigrants in this country and I don't 00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:45.880 know where they're going to go because 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:47.320 on average we'd probably need about 00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:50.239 20,000 houses to house those people with 00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:53.760 housing rate so low tencies uh vacancies 00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.960 in for tenants so low I just know how 00:49:57.039 --> 00:49:58.159 we're going to cope with it MadAM Mar 00:49:58.239 --> 00:49:59.920 it's becoming a real concern to me so 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.280 I'm prepared to leave it at that but 00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:04.239 for that reason I won't I won't be 00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:06.679 voting for this MadAM Mayor yeah thank 00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:08.239 you I thank you councilor green you're 00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:10.199 exactly right we do have a housing 00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:11.840 crisis and it's important that everyone 00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:14.599 has a roof over their head and and I 00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:15.880 think this is one of the reasons why 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:18.280 we're trying to do our bit here in 00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:20.480 Lake mcari so thank you councelor AdAM 00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:22.840 th uh yes thank you Madam May I'm 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:24.840 assing that I'm closing the debate as 00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:27.480 the reply if that's 00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:29.360 uh yes you can do that I was going to 00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:30.760 speak but I'll let you continue with 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:32.599 debate it for some time so I'll let you 00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:36.320 close I first of all discuss the 00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:39.239 AMended part of this but I'd like to 00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:40.559 s up some of the things that have been 00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:42.920 mentioned uh tonight because there's 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:45.920 been some very worthwhile contributions 00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:47.480 that we've received from some of our 00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:49.920 counselors I think when we're looking 00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:52.119 at the nber of people that actually 00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:54.320 responded and the nbers that were 00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:56.679 opposed to things it's a much more 00:50:56.760 --> 00:50:59.320 nuanced approach to looking at those 00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:02.639 responses to see that a nber of people 00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:06.239 have had their responses or requests 00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:08.639 for changes including tonight with the 00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:11.559 Edgeworth situation addressed I think 00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:13.760 that it's important as has been 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:16.119 mentioned that we need to realize that 00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:20.039 in a city as big and as diverse as ours 00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:23.119 we need to provide people with a variety 00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:24.559 of housing 00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:27.480 choices different types of housing in 00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:28.440 different 00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:31.440 locations we need to make sure that we 00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:33.760 maximize the resources we have in terms 00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:34.559 of 00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.960 infrastructure and Community Resources 00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:41.559 where more people live so that we can 00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:44.480 infill in some of those locations to 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.440 maximize the quality of life and the 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:50.760 resources and Facilities we have while 00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:54.440 the bonus is at the sAMe time we need to 00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:57.920 have less green fill less stripping our 00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:01.519 land of trees native animals vegetation 00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:04.559 and we preserve more of our city in the 00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:07.079 lifestyle that attracted people in the 00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:11.079 first place so this this possibly and 00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:13.039 I've mentioned it a nber of times over 00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:16.320 the years is again one of my advocacies 00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:18.960 and one of my persistence issues that 00:52:19.039 --> 00:52:22.800 infill is important to our city we need 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:24.880 to make sure that there are housing 00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:28.360 stocks for young people starting out and 00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:31.880 older people settling in we need to make 00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:35.639 sure that we can fill in those locations 00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:38.000 around the city and it's taken a nber 00:52:38.079 --> 00:52:40.280 of years to get us to this point which 00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:42.400 sort of highlights the issue that we're 00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:44.800 been ahead of the pack it's now the main 00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:47.039 discussion point in state government and 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:49.239 other local councils but we've been 00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:51.559 talking about this for a nber of years 00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:54.400 but not only talking we've been engaging 00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:56.760 the community we've created this 00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:59.199 docent we've workshopped it we've 00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:00.960 improved it we've brought it to this 00:53:01.039 --> 00:53:03.239 point where we actually have a finished 00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:05.239 product to move forward and I would 00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:07.679 encourage everybody to support this 00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:09.880 docent and again congratulate the 00:53:09.960 --> 00:53:13.599 staff for their persistence and advocacy 00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:15.559 in getting us to this point Thank You 00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:17.159 Madam Mayor thank you counc ad and that 00:53:17.239 -->

this up into into three pieces so 00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:09.199 what is it uh the new southwales state 00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:10.679 government have announced two 00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:12.920 significant infill housing policy 00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:15.119 changes that impact late 00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:17.639 mcquarry the first one is the transit 00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:20.800 orientated development or Todd seep and 00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:22.480 the second one is the lowrise and 00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:26.519 midrise housing reforms the Todd SE is 00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:30.159 set to

within 400 m of moriset trala and Boral 00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:43.679 train stations to allow and facilitate 00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:46.000 the development of six-story apartment 00:55:46.079 -->

all R3 or medi density land and 00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:06.280 employment Zone land to allow and 00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:08.800 facilitate the development of six-story 00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:12.199 buildings within 400 m of all nine train 00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:14.679 stations in Lake mcari uh those train 00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:18.400 stations being y moriset dor Creek awaba 00:56:18.480 --> 00:56:21.760 fasy Fern borgal teralba [ __ ] Creek and 00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:24.440 Cardiff as well as the Charlestown and 00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:26.760 glendell economic centers 00:56:26.840 -->

--> 00:56:37.719 economic centers which I just mentioned 00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:40.239 other economic centers may also be uh 00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:42.920 included in these proposed reforms at 00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:46.079 the state government's discretion so 00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:48.400 what does late mcquary city council want 00:56:48.480 --> 00:56:51.280 or or what do I think they want uh I 00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:54.119 believe we want genuine consultation uh 00:56:54.199 --> 00:56:55.880 particularly from the New South Wales 00:56:55.960 --> 00:56:58.079 dep Department of planning housing and 00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:00.360 infrastructure we want that consultation 00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:03.480 with residents affected land owners uh 00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:05.920 late mccy city council as well as other 00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:09.239 key stakeholders we want a seat at the 00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:12.159 table uh in the two briefings that we've 00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:15.239 had from the Department uh there's been 00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:17.719 a lot of from my experience anyway a lot 00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:20.159 of them talking at us rather than them 00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:22.880 talking with us and I think uh they 00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:26.159 would benefit uh as would we from 00:57:26.239 --> 00:57:28.320 imparting some of that local knowledge 00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:32.199 onto them uh we also need uh dedicated 00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:34.719 infrastructure funding streAMs to fund 00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:36.559 the additional and enhanced 00:57:36.639 --> 00:57:38.840 infrastructure needed to support the New 00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:41.679 South Wales government's housing reforms 00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:44.000 we need a commitment to provide funding 00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:46.599 for the upgrades of these train stations 00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:48.920 if you think of accessibility think of 00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:52.440 platform length and width extensions as 00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:54.800 well as other infrastructure upgrades 00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:57.320 surrounding the train station 00:57:57.400 --> 00:57:59.480 what do we want we want the proposal to 00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:01.760 be nuanced we want it to be implemented 00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:03.679 in a staged approach and it would be 00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:06.920 great to get cockle Creek train station 00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:09.639 as as an initial uh site to start with 00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:13.480 as well uh we also want them to consider 00:58:13.559 --> 00:58:16.039 the terala local Heritage conservation 00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:18.960 plan which seeks to conserve local 00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:22.039 Heritage and we want train timetables to 00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:24.760 be reviewed and AMended to ensure that 00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:26.960 appropriate frequency and availability 00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:27.679 of 00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:31.480 trains at these impacted train stations 00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:34.280 uh if the New South Wales uh government 00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:36.199 in terms of the Department of planning 00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:39.639 housing and infrastructure proceed as is 00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:41.239 uh without you know making some 00:58:41.320 --> 00:58:43.800 AMendments uh what are we in for well 00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:46.519 late mcquarry is effectively going to 00:58:46.599 --> 00:58:49.599 have 11 suburbs rezoned uh 00:58:49.679 --> 00:58:52.599 simultaneously at a minim that 00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:55.599 being you know the nine TR 8 within 800 00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:58.800 m of those nine train stations come June 00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:01.639 this year uh coupled with no funding 00:59:01.719 --> 00:59:03.639 from the new South state government for 00:59:03.719 --> 00:59:05.920 additional or enhanced 00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:08.559 infrastructure uh you know it could 00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:12.199 potentially lead to some irrational D I 00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:13.920 say it are planning outcomes for late 00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:16.920 mcquarry and may be detrimental to the 00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:20.480 lifestyle and livability of our city uh 00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:22.960 from my perspective I don't want to see 00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:25.119 a bureaucratic cut and paced approach 00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:27.599 for every train station in Lake mcquary 00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:31.360 we need local input a nuanced approach 00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:33.280 the planning outcomes for areas like 00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:35.880 moriset and card of train station should 00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.679 be significantly different to those in y 00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:41.920 Dora Creek and awaba I'm therefore 00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:45.880 urging uh us and the New South Wales 00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:47.840 government to commence a process of 00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:50.000 genuine consultation that considers 00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:52.400 local knowledge with a dedicated source 00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:54.519 of funding for those infrastructure 00:59:54.599 --> 00:59:57.320 upgrades in Regional areas and to 00:59:57.400 --> 00:59:59.679 implement these reforms in a strategic 00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.559 and staged approach so that we make sure 01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:04.679 that late mcquarry gets what it needs 01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:06.480 and deserves thank you thank you counc 01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:10.519 SCH only 27 seconds over not too bad do 01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:14.800 Council beler thank you Madam Mayor 01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:16.599 thank you just like to firstly thank 01:00:16.679 --> 01:00:18.920 councilor Schulz for leading uh this 01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:21.880 motion before us today his work on it 01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:24.199 has been phenomenal and his 01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:26.719 commitment to this city is is 01:00:26.800 --> 01:00:29.360 anal what councelor schil has touched on 01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:31.920 this the aspects that I find incredibly 01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:34.840 important is that this motion before us 01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:38.440 it's about establishing a a genuine 01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:40.320 partnership between the state government 01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:43.199 and L MC city council so we know that 01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:45.599 partnership is necessary to deliver the 01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:47.239 outcomes that the state government and 01:00:47.320 --> 01:00:49.679 fundAMentally we want in this city which 01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:51.639 is you know we do want that extra 01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:53.960 housing we do need those room those 01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:58.039 houses for for an generation of of of 01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.280 citizens but we also want the community 01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:02.719 to come along us with us on this journey 01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:04.320 and the way that the state government is 01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:06.760 currently going about this which is this 01:01:06.840 --> 01:01:08.960 sort of forced Upon Us implemented 01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:10.840 Without You Know Much Community 01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:13.960 consultation at all I feel that the 01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:16.760 backlash from our community will be the 01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:19.000 unintended consequence to this and a 01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:22.000 good way of mitigating that backlash is 01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:24.679 to bring the council and their Community 01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:26.599 Along on this journey 01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:28.679 if that if that happens that partnership 01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:30.440 occurs then the outcomes will be what 01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:32.280 the government wants what we want as as 01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:35.599 a as a city as well so I commend this 01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:38.079 motion to uh my fellow councilors and 01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:40.360 again thank Council schz and 01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:42.440 councel Bishop for their input as well 01:01:42.519 --> 01:01:44.440 thank you thank you 01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:47.039 counc Deputy Mayor councilor Bishop 01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:48.840 thank you Madam Mayor I just want to 01:01:48.920 --> 01:01:50.920 thank councilor Schultz and Council Bela 01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:53.519 for this notice of motion I'm very 01:01:53.599 --> 01:01:56.119 honored to be a part of it and Council 01:01:56.199 --> 01:01:58.880 has worked tirelessly on this I'm 01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:00.639 going to be very brief cuz what the boys 01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:02.159 said is absolutely correct and I'm not 01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:04.719 going to say more than is necessary 01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:07.119 but what I will do is a few dot points 01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:10.800 I want the I I want people to see 01:02:10.880 --> 01:02:12.840 what we already do here in Lake mcquary 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:15.400 because what we do here is very good 01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:17.280 and I want to make our community more 01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:19.320 accessible we have a very accessible 01:02:19.400 --> 01:02:21.840 City however some of the infrastructure 01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:23.800 that belongs to the state is not 01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:25.360 accessible for all people within our 01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:26.920 community 01:02:27.000 --> 01:02:29.400 it's about this is about consultation 01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:31.760 and the provision of infrastructure I 01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:34.079 want people to talk to us and to listen 01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:37.360 to us and ask us what we actually need 01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:40.559 and fund what we need because these 01:02:40.639 --> 01:02:43.000 changes will come into place but we need 01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:45.480 to do this in proper consultation and 01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:47.519 that's what this notice of motion is 01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:51.400 purely about thank you thank you deputy 01:02:51.480 --> 01:02:54.000 Mayor council Pauling thank you madAM 01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:57.840 Mayor I feel a little left out 01:02:59.639 --> 01:03:01.519 but but more seriously once again 01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:03.559 Kudos words due I remember recently 01:03:03.639 --> 01:03:06.360 giving councelor ankli for gold star 01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:07.719 this evening I think that goes to 01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:10.559 councelor Schulz that said as 01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:12.440 wonderfully prepared as this is and as 01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:14.800 much logical sense as this makes I think 01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:16.880 it's important once again to take the 01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:18.559 the true position we are in a relatively 01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:21.159 weak position and time frAMes are 01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:23.360 relatively short and that's the shAMe 01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:24.719 this Council as we've talked we've just 01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:26.079 talked about infi we've just talked 01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:29.079 about how we will better control the 01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:31.480 spread and development within the city 01:03:31.559 --> 01:03:33.960 and over quite some time we have 01:03:34.039 --> 01:03:36.960 developed a sensible approach and the 01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:39.519 tragedy here is that parallel to that is 01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:43.039 what seems fairly reactive less than 01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:45.920 considered approach has been 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:49.199 applied without due consideration across 01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:50.840 a whole pack of areas and that's going 01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:53.920 to impact us uh and that's the that's 01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:55.800 first tragedy that's this one siiz fit 01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:57.639 does not work and councelor Schultz I 01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:00.480 think has very eloquently outlined the 01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:03.679 argents for that the other bit 01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:05.519 infrastructure no surprise if you're 01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:06.719 down the west side of the lake you know 01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:08.840 infrastructure is a problem already 01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:13.440 b53 one of I think the least supported 01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:16.239 roads anywhere uh at peak times 01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:18.960 absolutely horrible and that has been 01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:22.840 an issue and as part of this potentially 01:04:22.920 --> 01:04:23.800 you could have a whole pack of little 01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:26.519 mini skyscrapers drop in maybe those 01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:29.320 people catch the train maybe they don't 01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:30.760 honestly don't know I don't know that's 01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:32.159 been planned out or thought through very 01:04:32.239 --> 01:04:35.639 well at all but in theory if if the 01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:37.480 state proposals get smashed through as 01:04:37.559 --> 01:04:39.360 as they look right now whole pack of 01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:41.440 little towers pop up whole pack of cars 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:44.519 pushing in to already overloaded 01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:48.280 infrastructure it's a disaster 01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:51.159 potentially for this city as it stands 01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:53.840 and it's so frustrating that I think 01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:56.239 we've put forward very sensible 01:04:56.320 --> 01:04:59.679 well considered nuanced approaches so 01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:01.719 you know even as recently as this 01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:03.599 evening we've been nuancing our approach 01:05:03.679 --> 01:05:05.159 to how we think this should work and 01:05:05.239 --> 01:05:06.679 where is appropriate and where isn't 01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:08.800 appropriate I really hope the state 01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:13.719 listens but honestly I'm I don't know 01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:16.159 how open I AM to that in that we've 01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:17.679 talked about we've had immigration 01:05:17.760 --> 01:05:20.119 brought up we know housing Supply like 01:05:20.199 --> 01:05:22.559 Supply demand grossly out of kilter and 01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:24.960 getting worse there's no doubt about 01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:26.840 that 01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:28.880 putting this straight out there I think 01:05:28.960 --> 01:05:31.280 this is a desperate attempt to try and 01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:33.440 alleviate some of that pressure uh and 01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:35.800 pull the levers that are available to 01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:36.880 the state government once again it 01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:38.239 doesn't control immigration that's not 01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:40.199 its problem but it does have to find 01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:41.679 somewhere for people to live and it's 01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:44.039 trying desperately to do that and 01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:46.760 unfortunately we might be some some of 01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:49.199 that ill through ill-considered 01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:52.119 consequence might Splash on us uh and 01:05:52.199 --> 01:05:53.719 once again to Residents I say hey look 01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:56.639 this wasn't our fault we we' put forward 01:05:56.719 --> 01:05:59.079 a very logical well structured argent 01:05:59.159 --> 01:06:01.519 that I hope someone listens to the 01:06:01.599 --> 01:06:04.360 unfortunate side is time is very very 01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:06.840 short and governments don't always 01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:10.280 listen to well executed well thought 01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:13.039 through well delivered argents so I I 01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:14.440 hope that I'm I'm proven wrong here 01:06:14.519 --> 01:06:16.760 Madam Mayor and I'm hope the state 01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:19.679 reconsiders and I hope that this motion 01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:22.960 has the influence that it is is intended 01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:26.000 because as it stands I can't see that 01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:28.400 this is real good for us as a city and 01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:29.840 certainly not for anyone who lives 01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:33.519 anywhere near a train station Andor 01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:34.599 down the western side of the lake 01:06:34.679 --> 01:06:35.920 because their infrastructure that 01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:37.360 currently isn't supported very well at 01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:39.280 all is only going to get worse in the 01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:41.039 short term if this goes ahead in its 01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:42.840 current form thank you Madam May thank 01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:44.719 you councelor 01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:49.880 Pauling councelor Buckley thank you mad 01:06:52.880 --> 01:06:56.920 May C Bley thank you madAM there look 01:06:57.000 --> 01:07:01.480 I I I take on board what counselor uh 01:07:01.559 --> 01:07:05.760 Pauling had to say yes it might be 01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:07.960 might not be listened to but I think we 01:07:08.039 --> 01:07:12.719 do need to go ahead we need to let the 01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:14.840 the government the state government 01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:17.639 know and the community that we're not 01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:21.360 happy with the way this has progressed 01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:24.000 we would like very much to be 01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:26.239 consulted and to be involved in the 01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:29.239 planning so that we can make the best 01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:32.400 decision for our community I 01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:35.000 commend councelor AdAM th councelor 01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:37.440 bishop and

we all know and 01:17:52.119 --> 01:17:54.399 love was an exceptional historic 01:17:54.479 --> 01:17:56.920 building with it most recently used as a 01:17:57.000 --> 01:17:58.760 function space and restaurant it's had 01:17:58.840 --> 01:18:01.439 many other uses over the last 100 years 01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:03.159 many of our residents in The Wider 01:18:03.239 --> 01:18:04.960 Community have held fAMily functions 01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:06.800 there including weddings at a wber house 01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:09.000 and I myself celebrated wedding 01:18:09.079 --> 01:18:12.119 anniversary there a wobber house is the 01:18:12.199 --> 01:18:14.720 gateway to maip Pang and the Sculpture 01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:17.199 Park in borgal which is Central to the 01:18:17.279 --> 01:18:19.439 daily activities of the locals of which 01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:22.199 I one of them and that includes 01:18:22.279 --> 01:18:24.920 exercising sailing rowing cycling and L 01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:27.079 walking the good old doggos around that 01:18:27.159 --> 01:18:30.039 area the rebuild of wobber house is a 01:18:30.119 --> 01:18:32.159 regular question from people all over 01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:34.840 our city but with the regulars and the 01:18:34.920 --> 01:18:37.359 locals it's it's a point of conversation 01:18:37.439 --> 01:18:39.920 regularly but for the local borle people 01:18:40.000 --> 01:18:41.760 it is a vital piece of infrastructure 01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:43.560 and missing from our landscape it's 01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:46.279 really a bit of a blight to be honest 01:18:46.359 --> 01:18:48.000 there has been significant Community 01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:50.680 consultation in the years since 2019 as 01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:52.680 to what to do with a wobber house 01:18:52.760 --> 01:18:54.199 including the establishment of the 01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:57.640 community reference group the constant 01:18:57.720 --> 01:18:59.279 the constant in all of the discussions 01:18:59.359 --> 01:19:01.399 has been the community's expectation 01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:03.880 that a wobber house was to be 01:19:03.960 --> 01:19:06.279 restored for it to Rise Like a Phoenix 01:19:06.359 --> 01:19:08.359 from the literal ashes and to restore 01:19:08.439 --> 01:19:10.840 the Heritage elements where possible 01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:12.640 whilst making a modern hospitality and 01:19:12.720 --> 01:19:15.680 function space that's what the community 01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:18.319 wants something which our city needs and 01:19:18.399 --> 01:19:20.079 has been sorely missed in the borgal and 01:19:20.159 --> 01:19:22.720 western side of our Lake throughout this 01:19:22.800 --> 01:19:25.520 time the message in our community 01:19:25.600 --> 01:19:27.520 to our community in response to this 01:19:27.600 --> 01:19:29.439 consultation is simply that a wobber 01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:31.960 house would be revitalized it's on our 01:19:32.039 --> 01:19:34.479 website in black and white actually it's 01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:37.319 in blue and white as a council we made 01:19:37.399 --> 01:19:39.119 that commitment and with a commitment to 01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:41.079 provide for a community when when a 01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:43.560 commitment is to provide for a community 01:19:43.640 --> 01:19:45.560 is made the commitment should be 01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:47.960 fulfilled I don't think that we should 01:19:48.039 --> 01:19:49.640 be even discussing this we should just 01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:51.920 go 01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:55.079 through I therefore will be voting for 01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:56.680 this recommendation tonight and I hope 01:19:56.760 --> 01:19:58.359 some of my fellow councilors will agree 01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:00.640 with that thank you thank you deuty 01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:03.520 Mayor council AdAM uh yes thank you 01:20:03.600 --> 01:20:05.560 Madam may I just have two questions for 01:20:05.640 --> 01:20:09.239 staff it mentions up there that uh 01:20:09.319 --> 01:20:12.439 the $2.6 million of funding would be 01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:15.920 from property related projects is that 01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:19.680 correct uh miss CAMeron uh yes Madam 01:20:19.760 --> 01:20:22.520 Mayor that's correct and second question 01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:25.039 Madam Mayor if by any chance there is 01:20:25.119 --> 01:20:27.560 some sort of an increase in prices will 01:20:27.640 --> 01:20:30.439 that funding also come from property 01:20:30.520 --> 01:20:33.159 related projects M 01:20:33.239 --> 01:20:36.239 CAMeron 01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:39.840 that that's not it's not possible for 01:20:39.920 --> 01:20:42.520 me to give a an assurance for that I 01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:45.560 can give councelors an assurance that 01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:48.600 the that the intention is always to look 01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:51.600 for funds within the the portfolio I 01:20:51.680 --> 01:20:54.239 guess and the first place that we 01:20:54.319 --> 01:20:57.359 would look would be in projects that 01:20:57.439 --> 01:21:00.680 aren't Community Asset projects roads 01:21:00.760 --> 01:21:03.560 playgrounds Etc but I don't think right 01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:05.479 here right now I can give that 01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:07.840 Assurance thank you Madam May so I I'll 01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:11.760 ask a third one then so in all 01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:14.439 likelihood if there were to be an 01:21:14.520 --> 01:21:16.680 additional expense it 01:21:16.760 --> 01:21:20.399 wouldn't be related to operational 01:21:20.479 --> 01:21:23.439 planning matters that relates to 01:21:23.520 --> 01:21:25.880 Community Services and facilities and 01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:29.239 things like that in all likelihood M 01:21:29.319 --> 01:21:31.079 CAMeron Madam May through 01:21:31.159 --> 01:21:34.279 you it wouldn't be operational funds if 01:21:34.359 --> 01:21:36.520 it's a if it's an increase in the 01:21:36.600 --> 01:21:39.199 capital cost of the project so 01:21:39.279 --> 01:21:41.319 therefore it wouldn't 01:21:41.399 --> 01:21:44.319 impact operating costs of 01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:47.319 facilities would it impact future 01:21:47.399 --> 01:21:50.520 projects in operational plans as I say 01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:55.680 it's unlikely and that would be our last 01:21:55.760 --> 01:22:00.399 Choice but at this point in time 01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:02.479 uh given the size of the contingency in 01:22:02.560 --> 01:22:05.640 the project I think it's it's the risk 01:22:05.720 --> 01:22:09.640 is low and it certainly would be Our 01:22:09.720 --> 01:22:11.600 intention it to bring back to council 01:22:11.680 --> 01:22:15.520 and the council the proposed funding 01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:18.520 sources should it be required and 01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:20.279 certainly Our intention would be that 01:22:20.359 --> 01:22:22.399 they they're not 01:22:22.479 --> 01:22:24.760 Community uh capital projects for 01:22:24.840 --> 01:22:27.039 Community infrastructure uh thank you 01:22:27.119 --> 01:22:29.920 Madam M that that the those 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:32.479 responses uh clarify my thinking on this 01:22:32.560 --> 01:22:34.239 and I will be supporting this 01:22:34.319 --> 01:22:36.399 recommendation thank 01:22:36.479 --> 01:22:38.760 you Council Schultz thank you Madam 01:22:38.840 --> 01:22:41.479 Mayor just wanted to speak in favor of 01:22:41.560 --> 01:22:45.279 this former councelor Jones and I I 01:22:45.359 --> 01:22:49.159 recall going out on site uh quite some 01:22:49.239 --> 01:22:52.560 time ago I think it was late 2019 and 01:22:52.640 --> 01:22:55.079 and David ancliffe was there just in 01:22:55.159 --> 01:22:58.159 terms of uh hosting a community uh 01:22:58.239 --> 01:23:01.279 consultation event uh we had Architects 01:23:01.359 --> 01:23:03.880 we had people from hospitality and 01:23:03.960 --> 01:23:06.000 councelor Jones and I uh you know this 01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:07.840 is effectively going back four or five 01:23:07.920 --> 01:23:10.960 years ago were very impressed in 01:23:11.039 --> 01:23:13.439 terms of the expertise that we had 01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:15.960 engaged as part of that consultation 01:23:16.039 --> 01:23:18.680 group it's great to see that you know 01:23:18.760 --> 01:23:21.640 after 5 years we are moving on this uh 01:23:21.720 --> 01:23:23.720 the community did Place their trust in 01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:27.520 US and I believe it's time to deliver uh 01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:30.680 as uh Deputy Mayor Bishop referred to 01:23:30.760 --> 01:23:35.319 the aaba house uh had been standing I 01:23:35.399 --> 01:23:40.800 think since 1927 so nearly 100 years uh 01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:44.760 what we're proposing is uh not just like 01:23:44.840 --> 01:23:47.920 for like but like for like and then some 01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:50.680 we were asking questions before in 01:23:50.760 --> 01:23:52.880 terms of the new building uh what's the 01:23:52.960 --> 01:23:55.520 useful life will told that you know it 01:23:55.600 --> 01:23:58.399 should have uh all things being equal a 01:23:58.479 --> 01:24:02.640 life of 50 years so uh by this decision 01:24:02.720 --> 01:24:05.079 here tonight we're ensuring that a 01:24:05.159 --> 01:24:08.800 wobber house isn't just re uh reinstated 01:24:08.880 --> 01:24:11.800 and restored uh that we're providing 01:24:11.880 --> 01:24:15.159 effectively uh half a century of 01:24:15.239 --> 01:24:19.479 memories and uh everything that goes 01:24:19.560 --> 01:24:22.159 with that as part of restoring a wber 01:24:22.239 --> 01:24:24.680 house it's really important that it 01:24:24.760 --> 01:24:26.560 is rebuilt it's something that we can 01:24:26.640 --> 01:24:30.880 all be proud of uh and also it's so 01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:33.520 unique to late mcquary just in terms 01:24:33.600 --> 01:24:36.520 of functions and weddings and and and 01:24:36.600 --> 01:24:39.199 birthday parties or or anniversaries as 01:24:39.279 --> 01:24:42.000 was mentioned earlier but yeah it 01:24:42.079 --> 01:24:43.640 really is time to restore it to its 01:24:43.720 --> 01:24:46.399 former glory and ensure that it's there 01:24:46.479 --> 01:24:48.760 in perpetuity for future generations to 01:24:48.840 --> 01:24:52.119 enjoy so uh I commend The Proposal thank 01:24:52.199 --> 01:24:53.239 you thank 01:24:53.319 --> 01:24:56.199 you councilor Pauling thank you Madam 01:24:56.279 --> 01:24:59.359 Mayor this one I think is one of 01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:01.479 those very difficult ones again and I'm 01:25:01.560 --> 01:25:05.520 conflicted I see both sides I can't deny 01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:08.079 the social benefit of what this could be 01:25:08.159 --> 01:25:10.399 equally no one's referenced the 01:25:10.479 --> 01:25:12.840 awesome renders in the supplementary 01:25:12.920 --> 01:25:15.520 agenda like for those that have a 01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:17.880 look at they look absolutely fantastic 01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:19.439 there is no doubt this will be a 01:25:19.520 --> 01:25:21.960 showpiece the bit that gets me though is 01:25:22.039 --> 01:25:26.600 the at what cost and and in that respect 01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:27.720 01:25:27.800 --> 01:25:33.840 the papers that page nine of 01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:37.520 the a label supplementary agenda 01:25:37.600 --> 01:25:39.840 talks about a few key figures and that's 01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:42.760 you the budget for this allocated 01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:46.079 project was is currently sorry project 01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:48.000 currently has a budget of 5.2 million 01:25:48.079 --> 01:25:50.920 which included a insurance payout of 01:25:51.000 --> 01:25:52.880 2.82 today we're talking about an 01:25:52.960 --> 01:25:55.000 additional 2.6 and that's what this is 01:25:55.079 --> 01:25:59.560 about for me that doesn't stick real 01:25:59.640 --> 01:26:01.840 well a wobber house isn't used by 01:26:01.920 --> 01:26:04.560 everyone like I know it's awesome look 01:26:04.640 --> 01:26:06.800 at the renders it is great for those 01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:08.880 select few that use it it is absolutely 01:26:08.960 --> 01:26:12.439 brilliant there are sectors of the city 01:26:12.520 --> 01:26:14.000 that I suspect don't even know where it 01:26:14.079 --> 01:26:16.520 is and have certainly never DED there 01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:20.039 previously and that's where I start 01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:22.399 to struggle like I I get it I would love 01:26:22.479 --> 01:26:26.520 this showpiece too I'm very annoyed at I 01:26:26.600 --> 01:26:28.399 think the process 01:26:28.479 --> 01:26:31.840 delay cost the fact that we've had to 01:26:31.920 --> 01:26:33.800 come back looking for more money I once 01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:35.720 again as a counselor and as a 01:26:35.800 --> 01:26:37.319 representative of residents and 01:26:37.399 --> 01:26:39.880 particularly rate payers when we need to 01:26:39.960 --> 01:26:42.319 come back and say hey we need more 01:26:42.399 --> 01:26:46.039 money that is never an easy or in my 01:26:46.119 --> 01:26:50.840 mind a good thing to do roads rates 01:26:50.920 --> 01:26:54.000 rubbish a wobber house I don't know 01:26:54.079 --> 01:26:55.399 that's that's why I start to struggle I 01:26:55.479 --> 01:26:57.359 said I'm not denying the social element 01:26:57.439 --> 01:27:03.800 economics I'm not so sold on I think on 01:27:03.880 --> 01:27:07.960 balance I can't support this I know 01:27:08.039 --> 01:27:09.319 that puts me in odds with lots of people 01:27:09.399 --> 01:27:10.760 and I'm not saying that it's wrong to 01:27:10.840 --> 01:27:13.880 want to build it I get that I'm weighing 01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:15.600 up that social and economic 01:27:15.680 --> 01:27:17.399 responsibility piece in the sAMe way and 01:27:17.479 --> 01:27:19.640 there are no good decisions here we've 01:27:19.720 --> 01:27:21.399 had quite extensive discussion on this 01:27:21.479 --> 01:27:25.039 tonight and there is no easy 01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:27.439 out unfortunately confidentiality 01:27:27.520 --> 01:27:30.560 commercial confidentiality P stops me 01:27:30.640 --> 01:27:32.800 from speaking more fully and making more 01:27:32.880 --> 01:27:34.079 sense in that regard but I think it's 01:27:34.159 --> 01:27:36.680 very clear that I'm uncomfortable with 01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:39.159 where we sit and when I weigh up Social 01:27:39.239 --> 01:27:43.359 benefit versus economic for me I arrive 01:27:43.439 --> 01:27:46.039 at a situation where I cannot support 01:27:46.119 --> 01:27:48.920 this this evening and I vote against it 01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:50.720 I I as I said I commend my other 01:27:50.800 --> 01:27:53.319 counselors for their social convictions 01:27:53.399 --> 01:27:55.760 however I cannot get to the sAMe place 01:27:55.840 --> 01:27:57.960 in my own mind thank you Madam May 01:27:58.039 --> 01:27:59.159 thank 01:27:59.239 --> 01:28:02.560 you councelor an thank you madAM Mayor 01:28:02.640 --> 01:28:05.439 I'd share the sAMe thoughts as councilor 01:28:05.520 --> 01:28:08.600 Pauling on this one admittedly this site 01:28:08.680 --> 01:28:11.000 has a lot of history for us the first 01:28:11.079 --> 01:28:12.600 house did only last 10 years before it 01:28:12.680 --> 01:28:14.600 burnt down but hopefully that's nothing 01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:15.880 that there's going to be an ongoing 01:28:15.960 --> 01:28:18.239 Trend but we did go to the community 01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:20.600 with a message in from following the 01:28:20.680 --> 01:28:22.720 fire in 2019 that was that we would 01:28:22.800 --> 01:28:24.720 reactivate this site in 01:28:24.800 --> 01:28:26.960 in some prec whether it's been talk of 01:28:27.039 --> 01:28:28.720 like for like whatever the term be we've 01:28:28.800 --> 01:28:30.720 gone back to the community and given the 01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:34.319 expectation that we'll be back I also 01:28:34.399 --> 01:28:36.079 would say there that we have a 01:28:36.159 --> 01:28:38.399 responsibility of the community around 01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:41.079 ensuring that as a council financial 01:28:41.159 --> 01:28:42.800 management and financial sustainability 01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:44.960 is key and high on our list we're only 01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:46.800 addressing some of that this this 01:28:46.880 --> 01:28:50.680 morning earlier today uh I also find 01:28:50.760 --> 01:28:54.039 struggle in while the projects or the 01:28:54.119 --> 01:28:55.760 the smaller projects that might be 01:28:55.840 --> 01:28:59.199 pushed out by Shifting the $2.6 million 01:28:59.279 --> 01:29:01.720 as been mentioned maybe they are smaller 01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:05.000 projects maybe they don't have that huge 01:29:05.079 --> 01:29:07.960 Figure Head to them I do take discomfort 01:29:08.039 --> 01:29:11.000 to an extent in some of those we're 01:29:11.079 --> 01:29:14.039 taking from here to fund something that 01:29:14.119 --> 01:29:16.680 we've evidently whether it be inflation 01:29:16.760 --> 01:29:18.960 whether it be all those factors we we 01:29:19.039 --> 01:29:21.399 don't have the nber that we thought we 01:29:21.479 --> 01:29:24.760 did and I also look at the the Heritage 01:29:24.840 --> 01:29:27.720 piece this is an incredibly important 01:29:27.800 --> 01:29:29.920 and historic site there is a lot of lot 01:29:30.000 --> 01:29:31.359 of history and a lot of significance I 01:29:31.439 --> 01:29:33.479 don't think you would find many people 01:29:33.560 --> 01:29:36.239 who wouldn't have known of a w house 01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:37.359 they might not have been there but 01:29:37.439 --> 01:29:40.520 certainly they would have known of it 01:29:40.600 --> 01:29:42.680 when we went through a similar ordeal 01:29:42.760 --> 01:29:44.720 with the Hunter Sports Center not that 01:29:44.800 --> 01:29:46.439 long ago I talked in this room about 01:29:46.520 --> 01:29:48.520 being brave as a 01:29:48.600 --> 01:29:50.960 council I think we have to be considered 01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:53.439 we can't always be brave on a project 01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:54.880 like that I I think the opportunity for 01:29:54.960 --> 01:29:57.880 Hunter Sports Center was that we we had 01:29:57.960 --> 01:29:59.960 a significant AMount of that funding 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:01.159 that was coming from other sources we 01:30:01.239 --> 01:30:03.720 had a once in a lifetime once in a 01:30:03.800 --> 01:30:05.079 political generation whatever you want 01:30:05.159 --> 01:30:07.520 to call it opportunity I think in this 01:30:07.600 --> 01:30:09.119 scenario we need to be a little more 01:30:09.199 --> 01:30:11.279 considered I I don't believe now is the 01:30:11.359 --> 01:30:14.279 time to be reallocating this funding I 01:30:14.359 --> 01:30:17.159 won't be supporting this I do realize 01:30:17.239 --> 01:30:19.960 there are costs that come with taking 01:30:20.039 --> 01:30:22.119 one of those other options I certainly 01:30:22.199 --> 01:30:24.600 you know it's not a case of we walk away 01:30:24.680 --> 01:30:27.520 and take the insurance money we get and 01:30:27.600 --> 01:30:29.039 just walk away from the site I get there 01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:30.560 are costs that come with that but I 01:30:30.640 --> 01:30:32.680 certainly don't believe that now is the 01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:35.880 time to reallocate that costs are 01:30:35.960 --> 01:30:37.840 increasing everywhere some of the 01:30:37.920 --> 01:30:39.039 figures that we heard in the earlier 01:30:39.119 --> 01:30:40.319 session around the costs in the 01:30:40.399 --> 01:30:43.000 construction industry were frightening 01:30:43.079 --> 01:30:46.680 put simply it makes me certainly 01:30:46.760 --> 01:30:48.640 cautious of all our projects that we 01:30:48.720 --> 01:30:50.600 look at and ensuring that we are 01:30:50.680 --> 01:30:53.600 balanced in our future planning as I 01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:56.800 said for me I don't think I don't think 01:30:56.880 --> 01:30:59.800 now is the right time I acknowledge the 01:30:59.880 --> 01:31:02.319 history acknowledge the Heritage value 01:31:02.399 --> 01:31:05.239 and the community connection but from a 01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:08.039 financial responsibility perspective I 01:31:08.119 --> 01:31:10.399 can't support this thank you Madam 01:31:10.479 --> 01:31:12.359 Mayor thank 01:31:12.439 --> 01:31:15.199 you counselors I'll speak before I go 01:31:15.279 --> 01:31:17.880 to the next one I just uh I think we 01:31:17.960 --> 01:31:21.119 need to consider what we're 01:31:21.199 --> 01:31:23.640 discussing here tonight we're discussing 01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:26.439 the the beautiful iconic historic a wber 01:31:26.520 --> 01:31:29.359 house that was burnt down in 01:31:29.439 --> 01:31:33.039 2019 and I remember the night very well 01:31:33.119 --> 01:31:35.079 I remember the outcry from the 01:31:35.159 --> 01:31:37.840 community I remember our promise and our 01:31:37.920 --> 01:31:39.479 commitment to the 01:31:39.560 --> 01:31:43.159 community we said and I said we will 01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:46.079 rebuild a wobber house we went out to 01:31:46.159 --> 01:31:48.840 the community and we set up a a 01:31:48.920 --> 01:31:53.000 community group of various people to 01:31:53.079 --> 01:31:54.439 come and disc 01:31:54.520 --> 01:31:57.720 discuss how a w house should 01:31:57.800 --> 01:32:00.680 look we approach the Heritage commission 01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:03.960 we approach another nber of different 01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:06.880 organizations it has been a very long 01:32:06.960 --> 01:32:10.840 process but sometimes here when we sit 01:32:10.920 --> 01:32:13.720 in this building we sit in 01:32:13.800 --> 01:32:16.279 Council we have to think about what's 01:32:16.359 --> 01:32:20.159 important to us now to me having 01:32:20.239 --> 01:32:24.119 Community facilities for our 217,000 01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:26.159 people are the most important things to 01:32:26.239 --> 01:32:28.680 me I would hate to think that this 01:32:28.760 --> 01:32:30.960 Council would think that libraries 01:32:31.039 --> 01:32:32.920 because they don't have a return and not 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:35.199 valuable I'd hate to think that we would 01:32:35.279 --> 01:32:37.840 say swimming pools they don't give a 01:32:37.920 --> 01:32:40.760 return so we won't continue to have them 01:32:40.840 --> 01:32:43.279 for our communities or our playgrounds 01:32:43.359 --> 01:32:45.279 we haven't got a return on our 01:32:45.359 --> 01:32:47.880 playgrounds and our playgrounds cost a 01:32:47.960 --> 01:32:50.760 lot more than $2.6 million when we do up 01:32:50.840 --> 01:32:54.239 our fores shaes we do up our shared path 01:32:54.319 --> 01:32:57.560 Pathways these are all Community assets 01:32:57.640 --> 01:32:59.640 this is what our community loves about 01:32:59.720 --> 01:33:02.199 late mcquarry that we provide this 01:33:02.279 --> 01:33:03.479 fantastic 01:33:03.560 --> 01:33:05.880 lifestyle and not everyone uses our 01:33:05.960 --> 01:33:08.399 walkways not everyone uses our pools not 01:33:08.479 --> 01:33:10.960 everyone has used a wobber house but 01:33:11.039 --> 01:33:13.479 they're all important they're all 01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:16.960 significant and a wobber house is Iconic 01:33:17.039 --> 01:33:18.960 it is part of Lake 01:33:19.039 --> 01:33:22.239 mcari I think I I don't know of many 01:33:22.319 --> 01:33:24.079 people who don't know or have heard of a 01:33:24.159 --> 01:33:28.199 wobber house it is an AMazing location 01:33:28.279 --> 01:33:29.800 I've been to many weddings we heard from 01:33:29.880 --> 01:33:32.600 the deputy Mayor you know we know how 01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:34.520 iconic it is we know how important this 01:33:34.600 --> 01:33:36.479 will be when it's 01:33:36.560 --> 01:33:39.319 rebuilt this is a tourism mecca for us 01:33:39.399 --> 01:33:42.199 in Lake MacQuariei it's not just about the 01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:44.319 return on the wobber house it's about 01:33:44.399 --> 01:33:47.199 that whole area it's what we do here 01:33:47.279 --> 01:33:49.479 we're talking about tourism bringing 01:33:49.560 --> 01:33:52.880 people to our city to enjoy the 01:33:52.960 --> 01:33:54.920 lifestyle a wobber house is going to be 01:33:55.000 --> 01:33:56.720 part of that lifestyle it's going to 01:33:56.800 --> 01:33:59.439 encourage people to come here I think 01:33:59.520 --> 01:34:01.239 it's important that we honor our 01:34:01.319 --> 01:34:03.319 commitment I understand there's new 01:34:03.399 --> 01:34:06.720 counselors here but we have discussed a 01:34:06.800 --> 01:34:08.560 wobber house for the last four years we 01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:11.239 have talked about it at Council we all 01:34:11.319 --> 01:34:12.920 made a commitment to 01:34:13.000 --> 01:34:15.800 proceed so counselor I think this is a 01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:18.680 time for us to stand up and honor our 01:34:18.760 --> 01:34:20.479 commitment to the community and that's 01:34:20.560 --> 01:34:22.760 what I will be doing I will not let the 01:34:22.840 --> 01:34:24.359 community down by by voting against a 01:34:24.439 --> 01:34:27.000 wobber house to be rebuilt and I'm very 01:34:27.079 --> 01:34:28.399 proud to be saying that tonight 01:34:28.479 --> 01:34:30.279 counselors and I hope that the 01:34:30.359 --> 01:34:31.920 counselors here will all 01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:33.960 reconsider their decision when it comes 01:34:34.039 --> 01:34:36.439 to voting I think you should be on the 01:34:36.520 --> 01:34:38.840 right side of history and be on the 01:34:38.920 --> 01:34:41.560 right side of what's right for this 01:34:41.640 --> 01:34:44.880 community councilor Warner thanks Madam 01:34:44.960 --> 01:34:47.439 Mayor I see it a bit differently to 01:34:47.520 --> 01:34:49.520 how it's been discussed tonight some 01:34:49.600 --> 01:34:53.079 of the concerns I think we I I speak 01:34:53.159 --> 01:34:55.439 in favor of this to start that we need 01:34:55.520 --> 01:34:58.640 to sometimes make difficult decisions 01:34:58.720 --> 01:35:02.399 to you you know in this particular 01:35:02.479 --> 01:35:04.640 situation we have made a promise to the 01:35:04.720 --> 01:35:07.359 community and it's unfortunate that we 01:35:07.439 --> 01:35:09.479 need to reallocate funds from other 01:35:09.560 --> 01:35:13.800 places but in order to relive this 01:35:13.880 --> 01:35:17.159 iconic building that may need to take 01:35:17.239 --> 01:35:20.159 place however I do note we have talked a 01:35:20.239 --> 01:35:21.920 lot about tonight in our operational 01:35:22.000 --> 01:35:24.159 plan that it's about balance and when I 01:35:24.239 --> 01:35:26.680 look at the Strategic priorities you 01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:28.960 know I think that's this is in alignment 01:35:29.039 --> 01:35:31.359 with that I don't see this as a project 01:35:31.439 --> 01:35:33.319 in and of itself it's actually 01:35:33.399 --> 01:35:36.399 connecting other areas such as the makup 01:35:36.479 --> 01:35:40.000 Pang area so it is about actually 01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:42.239 raising our profile which is under our 01:35:42.319 --> 01:35:45.279 diverse economy strategy around 01:35:45.359 --> 01:35:48.039 becoming a desirable visitor destination 01:35:48.119 --> 01:35:50.760 it's about actually creating a 01:35:50.840 --> 01:35:54.279 Community benefit an area that does uh a 01:35:54.359 --> 01:35:56.640 a house not just a house it's a 01:35:56.720 --> 01:36:00.199 function Center and restaurant a 01:36:00.279 --> 01:36:03.399 facility that will complement uh the 01:36:03.479 --> 01:36:06.279 tourism places that are already around 01:36:06.359 --> 01:36:09.720 it and we'll create a link between 01:36:09.800 --> 01:36:12.159 the makup Pang and Warner's Bay and the 01:36:12.239 --> 01:36:14.640 artwor that we have there so I actually 01:36:14.720 --> 01:36:17.079 see that it actually does fit within our 01:36:17.159 --> 01:36:19.680 strategic priorities it is about 01:36:19.760 --> 01:36:21.319 balance I understand that in our 01:36:21.399 --> 01:36:24.159 operational plan however I think it 01:36:24.239 --> 01:36:26.359 neatly fits in to our connected 01:36:26.439 --> 01:36:28.680 communities and our cre creativity and 01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:30.319 the culture facilities that we want to 01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:32.159 grow and the tourism sector that we want 01:36:32.239 --> 01:36:35.319 to grow and to make this place a an 01:36:35.399 --> 01:36:37.479 offering and to be a desirable place to 01:36:37.560 --> 01:36:40.640 come I think this will add to that so 01:36:40.720 --> 01:36:43.479 it is unfortunate that we have to re 01:36:43.560 --> 01:36:45.600 reallocate but it's not to say that that 01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:48.439 comes that won't be done at all I 01:36:48.520 --> 01:36:51.680 think this just simply improves and 01:36:51.760 --> 01:36:54.039 enhances what we already have so I'll be 01:36:54.119 --> 01:36:56.279 speaking in support of it thank you 01:36:56.359 --> 01:36:57.640 thank you Council 01:36:57.720 --> 01:37:00.159 Warner Council schz you have spoken you 01:37:00.239 --> 01:37:01.760 it's a question I do have a couple of 01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:04.920 questions if I may just looking at 01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:09.079 our our papers here page six uh just for 01:37:09.159 --> 01:37:11.800 uh if if I can get a comment or from 01:37:11.880 --> 01:37:15.600 staff in terms of the insurance 01:37:15.680 --> 01:37:18.239 proceeds so a wobber house burnt down as 01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:21.760 I understand it on page six it refers to 01:37:21.840 --> 01:37:25.279 two Council receiving $2.8 million in 01:37:25.359 --> 01:37:28.960 insurance proceeds as part of of this 01:37:29.039 --> 01:37:33.399 proposal uh if Council does not proceed 01:37:33.479 --> 01:37:36.119 uh with the the rebuilding we will only 01:37:36.199 --> 01:37:40.520 receive $880,000 in proceeds from 01:37:40.600 --> 01:37:43.199 insurance so just doing some simple 01:37:43.279 --> 01:37:46.199 maths if Council does not proceed with 01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:50.199 this proposal we will lose 01:37:50.279 --> 01:37:54.520 $1,920 th000 in proceeds from our 01:37:54.600 --> 01:37:56.800 insurer is that 01:37:56.880 --> 01:37:58.640 correct 01:37:58.720 --> 01:38:03.720 M CAMeron do you nothing versus this 01:38:03.800 --> 01:38:05.640 Mr ladan Mr 01:38:05.720 --> 01:38:09.520 ladan thank you Madam MRE the the do 01:38:09.600 --> 01:38:11.359 nothing option where if we don't build 01:38:11.439 --> 01:38:13.920 anything we get the 880 whereas to get 01:38:14.000 --> 01:38:15.840 the full replacement value of $2.8 01:38:15.920 --> 01:38:18.119 million would require us to build 01:38:18.199 --> 01:38:20.760 something of uh similar or greater value 01:38:20.840 --> 01:38:22.359 to the original 01:38:22.439 --> 01:38:24.039 building 01:38:24.119 --> 01:38:27.720 so is it fair to say if we do not 01:38:27.800 --> 01:38:30.720 proceed uh we will lose 01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:35.600 1,920 th000 in proceeds from our insurer 01:38:35.680 --> 01:38:38.000 Mr L through you Madam May that would 01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:40.359 be the reduction in funds for insur 01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:42.560 correct thank 01:38:42.640 --> 01:38:47.119 you that's all thank you cancer grig oh 01:38:47.199 --> 01:38:50.000 MadAM May thank you I uh I'm just 01:38:50.079 --> 01:38:51.680 wondering there's been a lot of talk on 01:38:51.760 --> 01:38:53.439 this there's been a lot of questions 01:38:53.520 --> 01:38:55.600 last I think we kind of know how we're 01:38:55.680 --> 01:38:57.319 going to vote I want just W you can I 01:38:57.399 --> 01:39:00.640 just move that we put the motion 01:39:08.479 --> 01:39:12.279 please can we ban it from 01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:24.520 speaking 01:39:24.600 --> 01:39:28.000 thank you Madam Mayor look I'm well 01:39:28.079 --> 01:39:31.520 I'll try and be I'm just following on 01:39:31.600 --> 01:39:35.560 from councelor Schulz in respect 01:39:35.640 --> 01:39:39.479 to the options that we have do nothing 01:39:39.560 --> 01:39:43.560 means that we the council the community 01:39:43.640 --> 01:39:46.479 doesn't get anything out of it we 01:39:46.560 --> 01:39:47.680 lose 01:39:47.760 --> 01:39:50.000 1.9 01:39:50.079 --> 01:39:54.560 million if we do something else 01:39:54.640 --> 01:39:58.439 if we if we say let's let's just do it 01:39:58.520 --> 01:40:02.199 by half so we we look at doing part 01:40:02.279 --> 01:40:04.399 of it now and part of it 01:40:04.479 --> 01:40:08.399 later the costs are going to go up 01:40:08.479 --> 01:40:10.199 exorbitantly I would think because 01:40:10.279 --> 01:40:13.279 they're going up exor at the moment we 01:40:13.359 --> 01:40:17.640 have a a situation where we can we 01:40:17.720 --> 01:40:21.640 have a a a a stay on the cost at the 01:40:21.720 --> 01:40:24.119 moment 01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:28.119 it's going to cost us uh Council an 01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:29.479 extra 01:40:29.560 --> 01:40:34.680 200 6 million that we've found in our 01:40:34.760 --> 01:40:37.319 budget it's not going to affect any of 01:40:37.399 --> 01:40:41.960 our operational plans it means that 01:40:42.039 --> 01:40:43.840 these things can still happen but they 01:40:43.920 --> 01:40:45.680 will happen a little bit further down 01:40:45.760 --> 01:40:47.439 the track and they're not really going 01:40:47.520 --> 01:40:50.960 to affect the workings of those 01:40:51.039 --> 01:40:54.000 assets that we have as far as I'm 01:40:54.079 --> 01:40:55.720 concerned it's a 01:40:55.800 --> 01:40:59.359 no-brainer I think we've got to bite 01:40:59.439 --> 01:41:03.119 the bullet and say yes we will go with 01:41:03.199 --> 01:41:05.000 the recommendation that's what I will be 01:41:05.079 --> 01:41:07.840 voting for I know it's a hard decision I 01:41:07.920 --> 01:41:10.720 know it's a decision that people are 01:41:10.800 --> 01:41:12.840 are grappling with at the moment but I 01:41:12.920 --> 01:41:16.840 do think that this is another in in 01:41:16.920 --> 01:41:18.880 opportunity or not opportunity but this 01:41:18.960 --> 01:41:21.399 is another instance where we need to be 01:41:21.479 --> 01:41:24.760 brave where we need to make a 01:41:24.840 --> 01:41:28.079 decision I think it's a calculated risk 01:41:28.159 --> 01:41:30.479 that we're taking for the reasons 01:41:30.560 --> 01:41:34.520 that I've stated and so my I'll be 01:41:34.600 --> 01:41:37.199 urging I'll be voting yes and I'll be 01:41:37.279 --> 01:41:39.199 urging my other counselors to vote Yes 01:41:39.279 --> 01:41:42.239 as well thank 01:41:42.840 --> 01:41:45.159 you thanks Madam Mayor look I'll be 01:41:45.239 --> 01:41:47.239 very very very brief councilor Griggs I 01:41:47.319 --> 01:41:50.800 won't take your time the just in 01:41:50.880 --> 01:41:53.119 smary Council and many of the coun 01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:55.000 councelors on this Council actually made 01:41:55.079 --> 01:41:57.079 this commitment before I becAMe a 01:41:57.159 --> 01:42:00.359 counselor to actually rebuild this this 01:42:00.439 --> 01:42:02.800 facility uh to build this rebuild this 01:42:02.880 --> 01:42:03.840 Heritage 01:42:03.920 --> 01:42:07.159 Place we have made that commitment 01:42:07.239 --> 01:42:09.199 tonight we can actually make that 01:42:09.279 --> 01:42:10.680 commitment happen and that's the 01:42:10.760 --> 01:42:12.600 important part and it's whether we stand 01:42:12.680 --> 01:42:14.199 by convictions or whether we choose to 01:42:14.279 --> 01:42:17.840 step away from our convictions and I 01:42:17.920 --> 01:42:20.439 think that our community deserves us to 01:42:20.520 --> 01:42:23.640 stand up and say yes we offered you this 01:42:23.720 --> 01:42:27.880 and we're going to do it thank 01:42:29.279 --> 01:42:31.800 you I'm off again that has now closed 01:42:31.880 -->
