3. Council may also wish to be involved in the final approval of the script and
video content before its release.
4. Assurances that the footage not used for the documentary is either destroyed, or
approval must be sought from the Working Group and or Council for it use at a
later time.
5. It may also be prudent for all the above conditions to be included in a contract
signed by all parties.
Since this time the Paranormal Documentary Team have shown the video to some
members of the Willow Court and Barracks Working Group Special Committee and
Councillors.
The Documentary has been scrutinised by the State Archivist in regard to the
contents of the documentary.
There has also been some discussion in regard to the MOU for the Willow Court
and Barracks Working Group Special Committee, and the view that they do not
wish to be liable for the release of the documentary.
This committee was only an advisory committee when it was formed and
recommendation from them was to be the subject of a report to Council. On that
basic it would be Council that made the decision in regard to the release of the
documentary.
Some members of the Friends of Willow Court Special Committee were concerned
in regard to the content in the video this as stated above was the subject of a review
by the State Archivist and his approval for its release has been given.
