APPOINTMENTS AND DELEGATIONS<br />
Kathleen Holmes, Coasting Along Theatre Society<br />
Ms. Holmes addressed Council regarding the Society’s interest in producing a<br />
performance <strong>of</strong> ‘The Nutcracker’ ballet in the community during December 2012. She<br />
requested Council consider providing a Letter <strong>of</strong> Support in principle for the Society’s<br />
efforts to assist the group in fundraising and seeking other community support.<br />

She stated this production would benefit the community and provide an opportunity for<br />
development <strong>of</strong> young dancers and performers on the Coast. She also noted that there<br />
would be considerable costs (in the range <strong>of</strong> $70,000 to $80,000) to stage the<br />
production. Given the lack <strong>of</strong> a large available performance space, ticket sales for the<br />
production would likely not <strong>of</strong>fset costs in the first year. It was noted that once<br />
performance requirements such as the sets and costumes are obtained for the first<br />
year, they could be used for performances in subsequent years, making the production<br />
more viable in the future. The Society will be seeking long term corporate sponsorship<br />
for the performances and will also be using volunteers and local performers to help<br />
keep costs down.<br />
In discussion it was noted that the production could move from location to location on<br />
the Coast, as sets would be constructed that could be moved.<br />
Res. No. 961-07/2012 – Hockley/Lutes<br />
That Council provide a letter <strong>of</strong> support, in principle for Coasting Along Theatre<br />
Society’s proposed performance <strong>of</strong> “The Nutcracker” on the Sunshine Coast.<br />

Mayor Henderson thanked Ms. Holmes for her presentation.<br />
