proposal to everyone in there I 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.959 think it's uh on page 13 which has also 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.680 got some pictures in there as well which 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.800 probably paint a bigger picture and 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.759 rather me shouldn't the major sitting 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.920 here talking about it so 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:52.720 um 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.680 we've we've currently got four football 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.160 teams and uh including women's team and 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.879 over 30 participants in that the problem 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:02.800 we have at the moment is the facilities 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.839 aren't allowing for we have we have 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.240 three problems really uh the facilities 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:08.920 aren't allowing for the women's 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.920 participation in sport comfortably 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.360 um we have as in the photos there we 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.079 have the uh the only toilet in the 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.240 building is actually there's one female 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.040 toilet inside the building which 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.000 accommodates on a game day possibly up 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.319 to 60 players and also accommodates uh 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.720 supporters support staff and all of um 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.439 all of our committee and uh and 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.160 supporters as well so 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.319 that's inside the buildings which omad 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.160 has got new carpet in there as well so 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:41.439 we can't go in and out of there with 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.959 boots that's one of our rules anyway 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.399 um one of the other things we wanted to 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:46.879 talk about as well was the showering 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.040 facilities we've been lucky up to date 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:50.600 that there's been no 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.439 um really cold Icy wet winter days and 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.600 uh the women haven't really needed to 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.839 have a nice hot shower afterwards but 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.360 they're all just open open 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.360 um open showers and anyone can come and 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.879 go at any time during uh during when the 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.319 women are in there getting changed in 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.720 that as well so we also 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.480 where the uh umpires now we have seven 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.000 umpires per game uh and half of those 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.560 are women as well so they have to turn 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.600 up in their outfits and leaving their 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.839 outfits wet and muddy so 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.240 um as you can see in the photos we what 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:25.839 we're looking for there if we possibly 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.120 can is to hopefully get a temporary fix 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.639 so then the women can be accommodated 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.240 for and then hopefully get put into it 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.120 once the the budget or or Finance allows 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.639 for us to have a permanent fix on that 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.839 one of the other things we've got an 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.040 issue with is our lighting 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.000 um the AFL state that the lighting needs 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.240 to be 50 Lux for uh for training and 100 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.040 Lux for games we're lucky to have we've 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.399 got eight Lux in one corner and the best 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.120 I can come up with is about 18 Lux in 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.279 certain points of the ground so it is a 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.040 safety concern 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:03.839 um I understand that that's quite a 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.439 large a large chunk of money to to be 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.879 thrown at something but as long as if we 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.560 could just get some indication as to We 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.480 Are on a list we are being listened to 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.160 that we do need it one of the things I 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.560 really wanted to get across as well and 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.560 that's why we're very grateful that we 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.040 could come here and speak in person as 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.879 well as that that we want to get across 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.439 it these aren't things that we don't 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.279 want major upgrades we don't want major 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:28.839 facility upgrades like some of the 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.120 things that have been going on I 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:31.959 understand it that's probably a thing of 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.319 the past as well 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.920 what we're after is needs we're after 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.279 critical things to be able to get our 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.160 club to survive so at the moment with 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:42.759 the introduction of women the club's 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.000 growing we can't continue to grow 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.439 without without some facility upgrades 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.319 so we ask that you please 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.319 um look look at those look at our 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.399 submissions and hopefully you can 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.600 understand our point of view again 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.319 one of the things that we've uh we've 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.279 come across as well is that we don't 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.319 have much storage in the place we've got 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.600 a very small storage area that's about 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.879 two meters by two meters 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.439 um so all of our all of our barbecues 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.480 any large items and that need to be 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.319 stored in the away rooms or the umpire's 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.720 room so every game day or every time 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.439 that we go we've got a training session 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:20.800 or something we have to pull all those 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.800 out leave them outside obviously in the 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.519 rain or wherever we can leave them and 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.000 then we have to put all this stuff back 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.000 in there at the end of each night so 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.639 um to be able to get some sort of 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.799 storage would be really great but our 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.720 key thing is we really need the upgrade 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.039 for the women's toilets and showers 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.559 and we would really like to be able to 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.960 get a um a a temporary fix to be able to 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.480 accommodate them especially as we're 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.519 getting into the colder parts of winter 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.639 and that and also for the umpires so 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:51.679 um 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.519 yes of everything else is in the uh in 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.440 in the um submission we've put there 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.480 I've also put that request for Capital 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.120 uh I think it was Capital Works which 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.159 I've submitted as well 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.200 um also on behalf of the qriket club The 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.080 Cricket Club are looking at expanding as 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.759 well and looking at 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.960 um expanding with women's different age 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:12.879 groups so women like Junior women and 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.039 open age groups as well so those 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.159 facilities would be used by both cricket 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.399 and football we've also got netball 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.720 which we don't have

burden on on the small 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.000 amount of facilities that we have for 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:32.360 the women there so 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.440 but um on behalf of the club

00:11:56.639 parking that's needed and the upgrade of 00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.639 oval 5 including Cricket Nets our 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.720 Cricket Club has 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.440 one usable Grandad of three 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.080 over the last four seasons 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:08.919 promoted context our club has a long 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:10.919 history of over 70 years we currently 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.200 have over a thousand registrations in 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.200 service a vast section of the city of 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.919 Kingston Community generally ranging 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.919 from Karen to mordialloc and everywhere 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:21.600 in between 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:23.879 we are actively promoting in all of our 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.360 codes a strong value of participation in 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:27.679 community sport for all community 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:29.200 members 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.240 we've seen the most ever female 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.039 registrations in our club and will 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.360 continue to promote inclusions inclusion 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.120 I should say from all sections of our 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:38.799 community more than half of our 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.799 registrations at the moment are female 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.200 whilst we have no suitable change 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.000 facilities for these participants 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.679 we understand the current Financial 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.600 climate and acknowledge that securing 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:51.679 funding for a full master plan may not 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.399 be achievable at this time however we 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.559 are fully prepared to work 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:57.240 collaboratively with the council to 00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:58.799 explore alternatives 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.399 we are optimistic that we can work 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.080 transparently with the council to 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.600 achieve a compromise that meets all of 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:06.600 the needs of the stakeholders 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:08.559 we note that Kingston has a strategic 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.120 plan for its Pavilions and we support 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.000 the need for a thorough process for this 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:13.960 and believe the need for Urgent 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:15.639 attention is required to address the 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.000 unmet critical needs to the broader Boom 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.159 Beach ycw Community 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.200 as you were aware these issues have 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.039 existed and were identified in the 2008 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.240 master plan 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.440 unfortunately the degradation has 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.679 continued and we continue to face these 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:32.679 challenges of facilities that are 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.240 substandard in terms of accessibility 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.679 health and safety size and fit for 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.039 purpose with the significant growth in 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:42.159 our registrations and firm commitment to 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.440 our growth strategy 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:46.960 these will continue to worsen we believe 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:50.080 the time is now to act and support our 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:51.919 community by investing in much needed 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:52.960 upgrades 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.360 as a club we strongly value inclusion 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.120 diverse Community participation while 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.679 creating a sense of belonging by shaping 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:01.440 and supporting a community that also 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:04.360 hold these values Delaney upgrades will 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.600 only lead to increased maintenance costs 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:08.320 for the current facilities which will 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.320 only escalate over time Furthermore with 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:12.879 the predicted significant increase in 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:14.240 building costs in the coming years 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.679 acting now will save both time and money 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.360 in the long run and will support the 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:19.799 council's vision of engaging and 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:21.919 supporting connectedness and Community 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.919 participation in a positive way 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.639 grateful to the city Kingston for 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.720 providing this platform to express our 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:30.799 concerns and aspirations the Palm Beach 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.519 ycw Junior sports club is committed to 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.080 working

we believe that by investing in the 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.559 Redevelopment or innovation of the Bon 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.600 Beach yzw Club room's additional car 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.360 parking and the upgrade to oval five 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.720 we're not only investing in our sporting 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:50.879 facilities but also the health 00:14:50.960 -->

00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.320 these are two clubs that have these 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:33.679 needs now and that have had these needs 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.600 for a number of years and it's something 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.080 that I I really do thank them for being 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.320 here this evening to not only put them 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.799 forward from their

clubs 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.360 recently and seen firsthand the 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.720 facilities and without trying to be 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:54.679 offensive to either of the clubs 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.679 they need some love 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.200 um certainly the women's change rooms I 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.679 know at Chelsea Heights footy Club 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:02.440 um 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.359 I'm trying to put it delicately didn't 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:07.319 entirely smell very nice the showers 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.759 weren't overly nice the urinals in the 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:11.720 female change rooms weren't overly nice 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.720 and just as an environment for women to 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.559 come along and be happy and confident 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.119 playing the sport that they obviously 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.480 love is something that Council can 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.799 certainly do something about I note in 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:25.200 the email that councilors would have 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:26.720 received just prior to this meeting 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.319 giving a bit of an update as to where 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.759 we're up to with Chelsea Heights and it 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.599 seems as if and I'm not sure if this 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.640 might be news to the footy Club so 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.119 hopefully this is a bit of an update for 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.279 you as well that we are working towards 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.920 some temporary solutions in terms of the 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.839 storage opportunities and potentially 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:45.880 supportable facilities down there so I 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:47.920 know the the team at active Kingston are 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.599 working on that at the moment and 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:51.079 hopefully that can be something that can 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.160 come in the in the short term to 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:54.960 alleviate some of those concerns which 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.279 would be a fantastic outcome 00:17:57.359 --> 00:17:58.960 I know that we'll continue to work on 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.720 that moving forward and I think that's a 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:02.319 really positive outcome that has come 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.519 from this submission process allowing 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.039 people to come along share those 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.400 concerns in a public council meeting to 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.440 mean that they are heard that council is 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.519 taking these seriously along with all 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.720 the other submissions that we have 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:15.720 received that couldn't be here this 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:17.000 evening 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.319 Bombay to icw councilor Howell and I 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.079 have spoken about a lot we try and put 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.279 it into every every item that comes to 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.640 council to again put this as a as a 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.119 priority for counseling at the Forefront 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.640 for Council again is another club that 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.240 really does need a bit of love we've 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.160 been down there a couple of times now Mr 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.119 Mayor you've seen the the state of the 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.200 rooms down there and how much love those 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.279 rooms need from Council and in reality 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.279 both of these clubs they need it now 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.799 and whilst I've had these conversations 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.720 if we can't promise this overnight and 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.119 it is a process but it is something that 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:53.920 I want Council to really see the 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.519 importance of to see the people here who 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.319 have given up their Wednesday night to 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.519 be here to put forward the needs of 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:01.759 their Club 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.440 and their committees are volunteers who 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:05.759 are putting forward the needs of their 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:07.680 club and have continued to put forward 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.519 the needs of their club for years 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.720 and I hope that very soon we can make 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.759 this a very fruitful exercise for them 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.960 to see some of those upgrades to see 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:19.240 some of those maintenance issues 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:21.319 resolved to get some of those temporary 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:23.759 fixes in place what I really love about 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.000 the two submitters that we've seen 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:27.839 Tonight is their acknowledgment of the 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.400 climate that we're in 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.680 and the financial constraints that 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.920 Council has 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.720 and with that I think it is so 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:36.319 incredibly important that we do thank 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.440 them this evening but also acknowledge 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.079 that we need to be able to provide some 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:43.519 solutions and we need to be able to do 00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:45.279 that soon 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.319 and it may not be the exact solutions 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.920 that the clubs are asking for but if we 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.079 can just get them on that list give them 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.400 some certainty as to when they might be 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.000 receiving their maintenance issues their 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:58.079 upgrades and those types of things I 00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:59.400 think would just give the club some 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.759 clarity and some ability to be able to 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:03.960 plan to be able to get those extra girls 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:05.759 teams in to be able to get those girls 00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:07.920 teams playing cricket and footy and make 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.960 sure that they have the facilities to go 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:11.559 with the incredible amount of dedication 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:13.839 that comes from both of these clubs and 00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:15.319 all of the submissions that we've seen 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.640 But particularly tonight these two clubs 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.839 that have come along to submit so I 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.279 really would like to thank our 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:22.839 submitters for their submissions this 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.960 evening and hopefully we can get some 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.039 good outcomes for the both of you thank 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.079 you thanks Council Oxley councilor State 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:32.400 class 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.440 uh thank you and I do support the motion 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.640 and I'd also like to note that we also 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.559 thank the hundreds of submitters to the 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.440 talking Kingston process there have 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.000 certainly been quite a number of 00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.920 community groups and organizations that 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.880 have participated in all of the various 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:01.079 forms and forums that we've enabled that 00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:03.039 our community to participate in as part 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.119 of this ongoing budget process 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.200 as a council it's been quite a long and 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:11.440 drawn out 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:14.039 process as you can imagine 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.880 walking into 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.160 the 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:23.000 2019-20 budget process before half of 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.680 the council came in we were in a healthy 00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.599 financial position we had quite good 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.880 Financial reserves the building sector 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.039 was in quite a good financial position 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.039 we were really going gangbusters in 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.559 terms of approving a lot of projects 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.880 projects were relatively easy to get off 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.039 the ground we had lots of tenderers 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:47.400 applying to do work at Council 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:49.599 we couldn't be in a more different 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.440 environment today projects that we were 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.720 getting off the ground for around 6 00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.839 million or seven million dollars and now 00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:01.480 coming back with tenders costing us 11 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.720 12 million dollars for the same kind of 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:04.799 work 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:06.039 um so I think there was an 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.799 acknowledgment by the submitters tonight 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.440 that those days are behind us and that 00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:14.640 council is going to have to find a way 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.079 to make the dollars go further I'm very 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.279 happy to hear both in the submissions 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.559 that we've received previously but also 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:25.960 in the verbal submissions that have been 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.359 made tonight and that inclusion is an 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.960 important part of the priorities of our 00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:35.559 clubs women's sport is very important to 00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:38.960 this Council we want to see all of the 00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:41.960 clubs whether they're AFL with their 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.559 Cricket whether they're soccer whatever 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.160 the sport is that have been previously 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.799 done dominated by men prioritize women's 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.079 sport and that's where our Council 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.200 dollars need to go so that women can 00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:57.759 have access to equal facilities and 00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:00.480 equal opportunities to sporting 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.000 facilities as the guys have had for so 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:06.880 many years this has been a difficult 00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.319 budget as I said with difficult cost 00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:12.400 pressures the budget proposes a 3.5 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.240 percent rate increase 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.960 with a about a seven percent 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.799 um 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.319 real increase in 00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.559 um in in the the cost of doing business 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.160 and that's that's the cost 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.960 um that's being applied just in terms of 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:35.680 the basket of goods for CPI the basket 00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:37.799 of goods as we know for Council is much 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.559 higher we don't have a figure on that 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:44.200 from Victoria but work that's been done 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.920 by local government Peak bodies from 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:50.279 other parts of the country show that the 00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:53.160 CPI for local government is much higher 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.920 than the seven percent and on projects 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.160 at least the escalation factor is closer 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.559 to 25 percent or more so it's a very 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:05.400 difficult time for local government but 00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:08.279 I do endorse the motion that's been put 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.160 forward tonight by councilor 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.519 thank you councilor stacos 00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.359 cancel how 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.559 thank you and thank you to both 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.119 gentlemen for getting up and speaking 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.960 tonight on behalf of your clubs it's 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:27.079 great to hear from you speak so 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:29.880 passionately about this because the 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.160 lifeblood of a lot of communities is 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:37.119 community sport uh one beach ycw are a 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:39.319 destination for junior sport between 00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.039 Karim and aspendale they're a 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:44.759 destination and as we heard from the 00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:47.039 president Jamie Johnson their facility 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.799 there's about 70 years old 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:51.559 70 years old 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:54.440 and that facility is not fit for purpose 00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.359 it's unsuitable for young boys and girls 00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.960 and every single person that's been down 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.279 there whether it's staff or counselors 00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.440 or other community members or even our 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:06.279 federal and state politicians can see 00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:08.200 that 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:10.680 Stevie Wonder could see that believe me 00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:12.319 he would see the same thing this 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:14.759 facility needs attention 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.920 and what we're talking to tonight is 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.279 practical outcomes now with Palm Beach 00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.960 ycw they had the 8.55 million dollar 00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:26.079 Clubhouse 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:29.920 the commercial reality is that that is 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.759 going to be potentially 00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.799 not possible in the current climate but 00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:37.680 they are open to other possibilities 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.200 including renovations 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.880 and I've spoken to a builder about a 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.519 full renovation of the ground floor and 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:47.559 a first floor extension coming back 00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:49.920 about a million dollars I don't believe 00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:51.759 the council is particularly competitive 00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.240 when it goes to Tender and I know that 00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:57.319 some of the outcomes that the Chelsea 00:25:57.400 --> 00:25:59.079 Football Club will still see Heights 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:01.920 football club sorry are looking for I do 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:03.640 believe that a lot of those would be 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:05.279 more achievable if we were more 00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.680 competitive when we went out to Market 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:09.640 uh it seems to me there's a hell of a 00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:10.799 lot of Builders out there and 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.160 contractors that are pretty comfortable 00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.160 putting in for 3.5 the full times the 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.039 cost 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:16.839 I know they'll get the work 00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:19.920 so is it possible we can work through 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.440 that and change it as we go forward 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.440 because quite clearly as with her 00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:25.960 tonight there is inflation there's 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.319 impacting our construction costs but 00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:30.079 there's also significant needs from the 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:32.759 community of Chelsea Heights and I'm 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:34.799 sure that the members of of that club 00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:36.200 don't just come from Chelsea Heights and 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:39.160 also for from one beach ycw which is a 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:40.720 destination so again

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.680 practical outcomes that we can Implement 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.039 in the near future and I want to thank 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:52.440 again both gentlemen for

Oxley if she'd like to 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:03.559 close 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:05.319 um just to really reiterate the process 00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:07.000 that council is undergoing in terms of 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:09.839 our budget so budgetary submissions and 00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:11.319 really talk about the new process that 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:13.920 we've undertaken in talking Kingston to 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:15.319 thank the submitters as well for their 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:17.519 time and in particular the Bond video 00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.799 icw for inviting me down to their club 00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:23.759 house I think I will reach out to 00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:26.079 yourself Stuart probably in the near 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:27.519 future to come and visit your facility 00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:28.960 as well 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.119 um if you'll have me 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:32.200 um 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:34.119 but also just to talk more broadly about 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:35.920 our talking Kingston submission we 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.160 received over 160 submissions and it's a 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:39.440 new process that we're undertaking with 00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:41.319 our budget at the moment I know we had 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:43.119 to call for this through a council 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:44.440 resolution 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:45.839 um which is really fortunate because we 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:47.039 have the opportunity to hear from our 00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.079 submitters as well in person 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:50.799 um but the talking Kingston submission 00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:52.920 is a year-long process a year-round 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.440 process I should say which affords the 00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:56.799 opportunity for anyone to make a 00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.680 submission at any time for consideration 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.039 by Council on any projects big or small 00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.279 that they see fit and a large portion of 00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:08.079 those submissions are almost immediately 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.559 addressed and responded to if they're 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:11.960 not something that we can do in the 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:13.319 foreseeable future 00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:16.079 they're referred to for future budgetary 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.640 consideration which is what those 160 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.319 are if we've got existing budget line 00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.880 items for some of those submissions then 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:26.200 they are actually put into the list as 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.279 we've referenced before about a list 00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.079 hypothetical list that we look into but 00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.079 I wanted to thank those submitters as 00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.160 well for their their time thank both the 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.400 clubs for their time as well 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.799 and we'll ask Council Oxley if she'd 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.079 like to close thank you just briefly uh 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:47.160 before we obviously vote on this one I 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.079 think it's really important that the 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:51.079 clubs do understand that process and all 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:52.559 of our submitters do understand that 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.079 process I think we've obviously had some 00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:56.960 learnings from this new consultation 00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:58.680 process that we've been doing and making 00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:00.319 sure that we do provide the opportunity 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.160 for residents ratepayers Community clubs 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:04.839 to come along and do this public 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:06.440 submission process I think it's 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.200 incredibly valuable to hear directly 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:09.359 from them 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.039 as much as I'd like to not have to have 00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:14.319 you waste a Wednesday night I don't 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.440 think it's wasted at all it is 00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:17.960 incredibly valuable for us to hear 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.680 directly from them so would like to see 00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:22.799 that included in in future processes for 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:25.119 consultation and the other thing that I 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.000 did flag with the general manager 00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:30.039 beforehand is making sure that we're 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:31.839 able to actually get those responses 00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:34.559 back from offices and and document that 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.880 in a council report so that we can 00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.960 actually see those responses from all 00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:40.720 these submissions to make sure that 00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:42.279 councilors are seeing them to make sure 00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:43.559 that we know what's happening with each 00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:45.559 one of these and the councilors over the 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:47.319 following years can follow these up to 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:48.960 make sure that we are responsive to the 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:50.799 community needs and make sure that even 00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:53.200 if that is in one two three years time 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:55.599 that these priorities are indeed not 00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:57.759 forgotten thank you and thank you again 00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:59.880 for coming along this evening 00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:01.920 Council Oxley 00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:06.200 I'll put this to the vote
