Chair and Chief Executive of the EPA Local Government Association of Queensland Local Government Superannuation (generally a sponsor‟s presentation) Local Government Act Taskforce Chair Chair of Independent Review Panel Ministerial addresses are unlikely to provide anything other than what is already known, based on past experience. It is unclear what the EPA address will cover. New Zealand is going through a time of significant reform of local government and this session may provide some value. Queensland has recently been through a process of amalgamations and there may be some insights into what has occurred in that State. The Local Government Act Taskforce and Independent Review Panels will both be undertaking further consultations, so the only value in those presentations would be hearing the information a bit earlier that we otherwise would. The cost of having one person attend would be approximately $1,755. Council has a limited budget for training and conferences. The benefit our community will gain from attending the conference needs to be considered against the cost of attending. Council could use these funds to attend other events that may provide better targeted information. Attached is the conference draft program (Appendix A – Page MM2). ………………………………. MAYOR – E A CAMPBELL Items Tabled For Information SUMMARY Reporting that the following document was tabled at the meeting for perusal by interested Councillors and members of the public A Councillors Disclosures of Interest 10 NOTICES OF MOTION NOM1 Beach Shelter – Horseshoe Bay, South West Rocks 3211 RJS 2012. 286 RESOLVED: Moved: Cl. Gribbin Seconded: Cl. Green That Council completes the Master Plan for Horseshoe Bay, South West Rocks as a high priority to allow the replacement of a suitable facility in a timely manner. Kempsey Shire Council FULL TEXT Minutes Ordinary Meeting 25 September 2012 Page 50
I intend to move the following Motion at the Ordinary meeting to be held Tuesday 25 September 2012: “1 That Council remove the fire damaged structure known as the Beach Shelter at Horseshoe Bay, South West Rocks as a matter of urgency. 2 That Council ensures that the site of the former Beach Shelter at Horseshoe Bay, South West Rocks is cleared of all materials and debris by 1 December 2012. 3 That Council completes the Master Plan for Horseshoe Bay, South West Rocks as a high priority to allow the replacement of a suitable facility in a timely manner.” MOTION IMPLICATIONS Environmental: The fire damaged structure is unsightly in appearance, is a blight on the landscape and portrays a less than acceptable attitude by Council, to both the local residents and tourists, for the appearance of Horseshoe Bay and for the safety and amenity for visitors to the area. Social: The Horseshoe Bay Beach Shelter structure has for many years provided an important gathering point for locals and tourists. This structure was damaged by fire in mid-May 2012. It is considered unacceptable and demonstrates a complete lack of care by Kempsey Shire Council for the appearance of Horseshoe Bay and subsequent tourism and business operators in South West Rocks. It is considered that this structure should have been removed and the site remediated prior to the commencement of the school holidays on 22 September 2012. It is considered imperative that, as a minimum, the beach shelter structure, which is an unsightly blight on the landscape, be removed prior to the October long weekend. Economic (Financial): The additional financial impact in removing the structure prior to its eventual replacement is considered minimal. The additional cost could be considered as part of the overall budget for the replacement of the Beach Shelter. Council also needs to consider the potential impost on Council should a person or property be damaged as a result of an accident associated with the structure. In addition, the potential loss of trade and subsequent financial impact on tourism and business operators, which could be considerable, due to the loss of reputation as a tourist destination, needs to be considered. Policy or Statutory: There are no known Policy or Statutory reasons for the Beach Shelter not to be removed, particularly given the fact that Council has been advised that the insurance claim for the structure has been finalised. REPORT DETAILS I have not given the General Manager permission to comment on my notice of motion. …………………………………... COUNCILLOR J C GRIBBIN General Manager’s Additional Information Removal of the damaged structure could not proceed until the insurance claim was finalised.
