I 00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:11.815 thought given this evening there is 00:12:11.839 --> 00:12:13.495 an item on the agenda about supporting 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.055 our diverse community and I'm 00:12:16.079 --> 00:12:18.375 obviously unable to speak to this motion 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.976 and given there are other few similar 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:21.416 items I thought I would share some of 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.296 those reflections the type of City 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.096 we are in Kingston is not by accident. 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.176 The fact we are a City rich in 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.176 multicultural and interfaith diversity 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.176 that understands and respects the 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.935 cultures and ethnic communities that 00:12:34.959 --> 00:12:37.815 live, work, learn, and play here is not 00:12:37.839 --> 00:12:40.296 something that just happens. It is 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.096 planned for, cared for, and nurtured. It 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.016 is something that must be protected and 00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:46.615 strengthened. 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.776 In a world where division can sometimes 00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:51.800 be loud, our commitment to respect, to 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.399 inclusion and harmony must be louder, we 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.255 must continue to create spaces where 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.136 culture is celebrated, not sidelined, 00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:01.815 where difference is embraced, not 00:13:01.839 --> 00:13:04.055 feared, and where every community feels 00:13:04.079 --> 00:13:06.536 a sense of belonging. When we invest in 00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:09.560 multiculturalism, we invest in unity, in 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.576 resilience, and in a shared future built 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.375 on mutual respect. In that spirit, I 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.216 also wanted to share to personally 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.615 condemn the egregious display at 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.136 memorial services across the country, 00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:21.576 but in particular the one that occurred 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.656 at the shrine of remembrance., and 00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:25.495 for a second in time during an address 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.736 made by Uncle Mark Brown from the Bunurong 00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:29.736 country, someone who all councils around 00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:31.815 the table I know are very familiar with, 00:13:31.839 --> 00:13:34.536 someone of great integrity. 00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:37.016 It is hard to paint in words how much 00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:39.176 someone must love their country that 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.815 they would sign up to military service, 00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:44.216 ship out, put their life on the line to 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.240 defend their their country. 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.856 All while knowing that when they come 00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:50.375 back home, they wouldn't be given the 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:51.896 same treatment as the people they fought 00:13:51.920 --> 00:13:54.696 beside. That they wouldn't be given the 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.696 same block of lands or courtesy that a 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.136 white veteran was given because of the 00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:00.375 color of their still of their skin. But 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.399 they would still go anyway. That is in 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.815 effect what people booed. That is in 00:14:05.839 --> 00:14:07.896 effect why the work that council does on 00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:10.375 reconciliation on multiculturalism and 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.399 on interfaith is so important. Um as 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.600 veterans saw it their duty to serve. I I 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.175 feel and I believe our councils around 00:14:19.199 --> 00:14:20.696 the table also believe this. It is our 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.375 duty to build a City that is tolerant 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.096 and respectful. So I wanted to say thank 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.336 you to Uncle Mark Brown and from me 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.096 personally and I'm sure the council 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.656 shares the view. We are sorry for the 00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:33.175 treatment that you and the indigenous 00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:35.495 community continues to be subject to, 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.136 but this only strengthens our resolve 00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:40.216 and proves that there is still much work 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:42.856 to do. Thank you. 00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:44.536 Thank you, Council Saab.

These types of events 00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:03.816 invite the community to reflect, 00:18:03.840 --> 00:18:05.976 respect, and celebrate together with 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.376 costs including marketing, performers, 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.216 consultation with traditional owners, 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.535 setup and equipment.

First one 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.336 is from Rose. Why was a council officer 00:19:23.360 --> 00:19:25.496 unable to confirm with VCAT the precise 00:19:25.520 --> 00:19:28.136 state council first engaged legal advice 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.136 as contained in the officer's affidavit 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.216 submitted to VCAT relating to Kingswood 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.856 redevelopment VCAT practice day hearings 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.816 held in December 2025 and two questions 00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:40.456 from Lynn.

I'll ask 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:50.856 council's general manager planning and 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.376 place Mr. to Jonathan Goodman to 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.015 respond. 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.456 Thank you.

In response to the question 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.936 from Lynn, the report provided under 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.960 item 8.2 2 outlines that pursuant to 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.376 clause 7201 of the Kingston planning 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.616 scheme, the Minister for Planning is the 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:20.456 responsible authority for the issue of 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:23.480 of permits at the subject site. 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.856 As such, at this time, council does not 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.856 have any official status in the issue of 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:30.936 planning permits at the subject site, 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:32.936 nor is council an official referral 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:34.456 authority. 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.096 The report prepared under this item does 00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:39.496 however recommend it is council's view 00:20:39.520 --> 00:20:41.976 that the application in its current form 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.296 should not be supported. 00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:46.216 Officers understand that the assessment 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.976 undertaken 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.296 by the department and of transport and 00:20:50.320 --> 00:20:52.296 planning will however form part of its 00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:55.320 considerations of this matter. 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.775 The next two questions of the next 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:02.376 two authors I'll consolidate the answers 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.256 as well. First one is from Donna. Is it 00:21:05.280 --> 00:21:06.775 true that Kingston Council sought 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:08.535 community feedback to councelor Hatti 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.696 Sab's motion about racism and refugee 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.176 migration amongst other things mentioned 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.200 tonight in agenda item 13.1 by targeting 00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:17.895 51 leader members of the community 00:21:17.919 --> 00:21:19.976 groups directly. And from these only 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.135 nine responded and of these only four 00:21:22.159 --> 00:21:23.816 specifically supported or commented on 00:21:23.840 --> 00:21:25.895 multicultural and refugee initiatives 00:21:25.919 --> 00:21:28.696 and refugee welcome zones page 395 in 00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.176 the agenda tonight. Two questions from 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.655 Steven. How can council frame this low 00:21:33.679 --> 00:21:36.056 number of feedback responses nine out of 00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:38.216 51 from the leadership of Kingston 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:39.976 community groups to the Hadis motion 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.000 being discussed tonight 13.1 as being a 00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.856 strong support for the statements made 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.256 within the motion even noting even 00:21:47.280 --> 00:21:49.895 noting that these responses only four 00:21:49.919 --> 00:21:51.416 particularly represented a strong 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.416 support for recognizing migrant and 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:55.176 refugee contributions and migrant 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:58.200 welcome zones within Kingston page 395 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.240 agenda. Second question is this hadis 00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:04.216 subm motion at 13.1 trying to justify 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.736 and lay the groundwork for Kingston 00:22:05.760 --> 00:22:08.456 Council to become an immigration refugee 00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:10.856 welcome zone council. I'll ask council's 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.456 general manager committee strengthening 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.176 Kate Waters to respond. 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:16.936 Thank you. And through you, mayor. At 00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.496 the council meeting in October 2025, 00:22:19.520 --> 00:22:21.336 council resolved to defer the notice of 00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:23.655 motion 412025 00:22:23.679 --> 00:22:25.655 supporting our diverse community and 00:22:25.679 --> 00:22:27.816 sought communication and consultation 00:22:27.840 --> 00:22:29.816 with our multicultural community around 00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:31.816 the matters contained within this notice 00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:34.535 of motion. The updated guidance notes on 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.559 page 394 of the agenda outline the 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.296 community consultation methodology and 00:22:40.320 --> 00:22:43.096 findings. The consultation was targeted 00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:45.576 and as outlined in the question, 51 00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:47.256 community leaders were invited to 00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:49.416 provide feedback and nine responses were 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:51.416 received. Some responses were 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.655 comprehensive while others were brief. 00:22:53.679 --> 00:22:55.496 As outlined in the guidance notes, there 00:22:55.520 --> 00:22:57.176 were four comments that specifically 00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.096 related to the theme support for 00:22:59.120 --> 00:23:01.976 multicultural and refugee initiatives. 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.576 Of the community leaders that did 00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:05.576 respond, they all supported the matters 00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:07.576 contained within the notice of motion. 00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:09.336 The reference to strong support is in 00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:11.655 reference to the responses received. 00:23:11.679 --> 00:23:13.336 Councilors have been provided with the 00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:15.976 full consultation findings. In response 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.296 to the third question, notice of motions 00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:20.856 are submitted by councilors, not council 00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:23.096 officers, and as such I cannot comment 00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:25.655 on councelor sub's intention in relation 00:23:25.679 --> 00:23:28.135 to refugee welcome zones, but I refer 00:23:28.159 --> 00:23:31.159 you to the rationale on page 391 and 392 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.240 of the agenda. 00:23:35.679 --> 00:23:38.056 The next two authors are consolidated as 00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:40.856 well.

Why is council silent 00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:49.736 on the topic of hydrarology with regard 00:23:49.760 --> 00:23:51.976 to Kingswood? And the second author 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.135 Graeme, why has Kingston Council not 00:23:54.159 --> 00:23:55.576 previously hired its own external 00:23:55.600 --> 00:23:57.256 hydrarology experts with relation to 00:23:57.280 --> 00:23:59.015 Kingswood?

Council's grant program 00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.799 was one of them. Thank you. 00:26:42.159 --> 00:26:44.856 Next question is from Avette. Is it true 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:46.856 that some developers of land in Kingston 00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.616 have had to pay thousands of dollars in 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:50.135 some sort of payments to Aboriginal 00:26:50.159 --> 00:26:52.696 entities to attain attain council 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:54.535 permission just to move forward with 00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:55.895 their development plans on their own 00:26:55.919 --> 00:26:58.376 land? And secondly, what is this payment 00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:00.376 called? I was council's general manager 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:02.296 planning a place Mr. Jonathan Goodman to 00:27:02.320 --> 00:27:04.296 respond. 00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:06.456 Thank you. In response to the question 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:08.376 AC in in response to this question 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:09.976 across the state of Victoria, cultural 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.895 heritage management plans are required 00:27:11.919 --> 00:27:13.895 when high impact activities planned in 00:27:13.919 --> 00:27:16.456 areas of cultural heritage sensitivity 00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:18.936 as defined by the Aboriginal heritage 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:21.960 regulations 2018. In certain instances, 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:24.376 exemptions are established for certain 00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:27.400 types of use and development. 00:27:27.520 --> 00:27:29.496 Areas of cultural heritage sensitivity 00:27:29.520 --> 00:27:31.416 include registered cultural heritage 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:33.576 places and the mapping of these 00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:36.056 locations across the state of Victoria 00:27:36.080 --> 00:27:39.080 can be found on the Vic plan website. 00:27:39.120 --> 00:27:41.176 Costs associated with cultural heritage 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:43.576 assessment processes when required will 00:27:43.600 --> 00:27:45.255 likely involve the assistance from a 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:47.736 cultural heritage consultant and input 00:27:47.760 --> 00:27:50.696 is also likely to be sought from the 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.720 registered Aboriginal party. Thank you. 00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:57.496 The next question is from Elena. The 00:27:57.520 --> 00:27:59.255 treaty appendix in tonight's agenda 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:01.096 talks of the ability of local councils 00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:03.255 being able to support treaty even though 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.416 they may not be invited to participate. 00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:07.096 However, what if a council point blank 00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:09.576 refuses to support treaty negotiations 00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:11.416 and subsequent land and water grabs by 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.976 Aboriginal groups? Two, will Kingston 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.496 will our Kingston councils have an 00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:17.655 opportunity to vote yay or nay as to 00:28:17.679 --> 00:28:19.416 whether Kingston recognizes any demands 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.655 or entitlements whatsoever put forward 00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:23.816 by these new Trenty negotiators over 00:28:23.840 --> 00:28:25.496 whatever lands and waters they may lay 00:28:25.520 --> 00:28:27.736 claim to in Kingston. I'll ask council's 00:28:27.760 --> 00:28:29.176 general manager committee strengthening 00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:31.496 Kate Waters to respond. 00:28:31.520 --> 00:28:33.096 Thank you and through you mayor. I 00:28:33.120 --> 00:28:34.856 assume the question is referring to item 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.880 9.5 reconciliation strategy 2026 to 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.576 2030. The reconciliation strategy is 00:28:41.600 --> 00:28:43.255 separate from the Victorian treaty 00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.496 process and does not commit council to 00:28:45.520 --> 00:28:47.576 enter to entering into local treaty 00:28:47.600 --> 00:28:49.895 processes. The primary negotiating 00:28:49.919 --> 00:28:51.416 parties for treaties are either the 00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.655 state or the first people's assembly for 00:28:53.679 --> 00:28:56.056 a statewide treaty or the state and a 00:28:56.080 --> 00:28:57.976 traditional owner delegation for 00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.135 traditional owner treaties. Local 00:29:00.159 --> 00:29:01.496 governments may be invited to 00:29:01.520 --> 00:29:03.895 participate as an additional negotiating 00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:06.296 party. If council is invited to 00:29:06.320 --> 00:29:08.296 participate, it would be a decision for 00:29:08.320 --> 00:29:11.320 council to resolve on. Thank you. 00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:16.296 The next two questions are from Gil. 00:29:16.320 --> 00:29:18.216 Will our democratically elected Kingston 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:20.456 councils be updated in a timely manner 00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:22.216 and indeed have a final say on matter 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:23.976 over negotiations with any registered 00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:25.976 traditional Aboriginal owner groups 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.895 about any coming treaty claims these 00:29:27.919 --> 00:29:29.976 groups will make to entitlement over any 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.296 of our Kingston lands and waterways? And 00:29:32.320 --> 00:29:34.216 two, can democratically elected Kingston 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:36.616 councilors be updated in a timely manner 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.456 and indeed have a final say on matter 00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:40.296 over negotiations with any registered 00:29:40.320 --> 00:29:42.375 traditional Aboriginal owner groups over 00:29:42.399 --> 00:29:44.535 lands and waterways in Kingston. I ask 00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:45.895 council's general manager planning a 00:29:45.919 --> 00:29:48.919 place Jonathan Gutman to respond. 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:55.720 Um item 9.5 reconciliation strategy 2026 00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:59.895 2030 that is being considered tonight 00:29:59.919 --> 00:30:02.056 includes an action to provide updates on 00:30:02.080 --> 00:30:04.375 treaty developments to council and the 00:30:04.399 --> 00:30:06.936 community with any decisions requiring 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:09.736 separate reports to council. The primary 00:30:09.760 --> 00:30:11.736 negotiating parties for treaties are 00:30:11.760 --> 00:30:14.616 either one the state and the assembly 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.336 for a statewide treaty or two the state 00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:19.816 and a traditional owner delegation for 00:30:19.840 --> 00:30:22.135 traditional owner treaties. Local 00:30:22.159 --> 00:30:23.655 governments may be invited to 00:30:23.679 --> 00:30:26.296 participate as additional negotiating 00:30:26.320 --> 00:30:29.096 parties. If council is invited to 00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:31.576 participate, it would be a decision for 00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:34.600 the council to resolve on. 00:30:35.760 --> 00:30:37.895 Next question is from Dominique. Is 00:30:37.919 --> 00:30:39.496 council aware the community groups have 00:30:39.520 --> 00:30:41.015 been trying desperately for a long time 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:43.015 to stop the tower being built on the 00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:45.496 adjacent station site at 79 Balcon Road 00:30:45.520 --> 00:30:47.336 Menone and have been rallying the 00:30:47.360 --> 00:30:49.176 community of Manton asking for this to 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.200 become a gateway mental 00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:55.655 manager planning a place Jonathan 00:30:55.679 --> 00:30:58.679 Goodman to respond. 00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.576 Thank you. And through you, Madame 00:31:17.600 --> 00:31:19.255 Mayor. The CEO is reading the questions 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:21.336 in unusual order tonight, which is 00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:24.360 certainly keeping us on our toes. Um, in 00:31:25.120 --> 00:31:27.895 response to the question from Dominique, 00:31:27.919 --> 00:31:30.056 council considered a report as part of 00:31:30.080 --> 00:31:32.856 item 7.5. of its ordinary council 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:35.880 meeting on the 23rd of March 2026 00:31:35.919 --> 00:31:37.736 whereby a submission was made to the 00:31:37.760 --> 00:31:39.416 state department of transport and 00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:41.816 planning on the men activity center 00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:44.375 program. The report and accompanying 00:31:44.399 --> 00:31:47.399 submission highlight this matter and 00:31:47.840 --> 00:31:49.895 reinforce the concerns raised by the 00:31:49.919 --> 00:31:52.135 community in relation to the prospective 00:31:52.159 --> 00:31:55.159 development of 79 Balcomm road men. 00:31:57.360 --> 00:31:59.096 With respect to a response from the 00:31:59.120 --> 00:32:02.120 question from Jeff, council disposes of 00:32:02.320 --> 00:32:04.616 land in line with the approved property 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:06.375 strategy and subject to public 00:32:06.399 --> 00:32:09.096 consultation. At this stage, there is no 00:32:09.120 --> 00:32:11.336 identified parcel to swap for this 00:32:11.360 --> 00:32:13.255 purpose and council has not been 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:14.775 formally approached by the state 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.799 government to purchase this land. 00:32:18.399 --> 00:32:20.775 Thank you, Mr. Putman. Next question is 00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.015 from Roslin. Given more than 500 00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:24.616 Kingston residents have signed a 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:26.296 petition to oppose the Drews Community 00:32:26.320 --> 00:32:28.296 Grant, what action will Kingston Council 00:32:28.320 --> 00:32:30.056 take to ensure future money is not paid 00:32:30.080 --> 00:32:32.056 to this entity which resides in the City 00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:34.135 of Dandino? I'll ask general manager 00:32:34.159 --> 00:32:35.736 community strengthening Kate Waters to 00:32:35.760 --> 00:32:37.015 respond. 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.015 Thank you. And through you may council 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:40.616 resolves the funding outcomes for 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:42.375 community bannual grants, operational 00:32:42.399 --> 00:32:44.056 and partnership grants and community 00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:46.535 festivals, events and creative activity 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:49.015 grants. All grant recipients must comply 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:51.015 with the Kingston grants program policy 00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.336 guidelines and funding agreements and as 00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:54.696 long as they do the grant funding 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.576 continues as per the grant time frame. I 00:32:57.600 --> 00:32:59.255 don't believe the petition referred to 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.015 in the question has been presented to 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.655 council. 00:33:03.679 --> 00:33:05.895 The next two authors James and Anna 00:33:05.919 --> 00:33:07.576 will read the questions together. 00:33:07.600 --> 00:33:09.096 Question from James. Is it true that 00:33:09.120 --> 00:33:11.495 Kingston has a database of 55 so-called 00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:13.816 black businesses which you mentioned in 00:33:13.840 --> 00:33:15.416 tonight's agenda that get preferential 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.696 treatment and consideration for 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:18.696 contracts support procurement and 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:20.135 services above other businesses in 00:33:20.159 --> 00:33:21.895 Kingston as stated in your 00:33:21.919 --> 00:33:24.919 reconciliation strategy 2026 page 23 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:28.375 appendix reconciliation strategy 2026 00:33:28.399 --> 00:33:30.856 two questions from Anna why does council 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:32.936 think it quite okay to use the word 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:35.576 black spelled without a C to describe 00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:37.336 Aboriginal enterprises like black 00:33:37.360 --> 00:33:39.895 markets black businesses as on page 23 00:33:39.919 --> 00:33:42.135 of appendix 1 in the reconciliation 00:33:42.159 --> 00:33:44.456 strategy in tonight's agenda. Is it not 00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.216 true that the use of the word black by 00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:48.616 council like this is obviously racist? 00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:49.976 I'll ask council's general manager 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:51.655 committee strengthening Kate Waters to 00:33:51.679 --> 00:33:53.655 respond. 00:33:53.679 --> 00:33:55.416 Thank you and through you mayor. 00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:57.416 Kingston maintains a database of all 00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:59.655 suppliers of which some identify as 00:33:59.679 --> 00:34:01.976 first nations businesses. Council does 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:03.816 not operate a preferential procurement 00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:06.135 system and no business is automatically 00:34:06.159 --> 00:34:08.375 given priority, advantage or guaranteed 00:34:08.399 --> 00:34:10.936 access to contracts or services. All 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:12.696 council procurement and contracting 00:34:12.720 --> 00:34:14.615 follows property value for money and 00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:17.016 legal requirements. Aboriginal owned 00:34:17.040 --> 00:34:19.256 businesses must meet the same criteria 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:21.736 as all other businesses. No contracts, 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.055 funding, or services are awarded outside 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:25.496 council's established procurement 00:34:25.520 --> 00:34:28.456 policies. The term black spelt without 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.256 the C is a self-determined term used by 00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:33.016 Aboriginal and toouristrate islander 00:34:33.040 --> 00:34:35.095 peoples particularly in contemporary 00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:38.119 cultural artistic and business context. 00:34:38.240 --> 00:34:40.776 Is not a derogatory term nor is it a 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:43.655 council created language. Today black B 00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.536 L A is commonly and deliberately used by 00:34:46.560 --> 00:34:49.335 Aboriginalled organizations, artists, 00:34:49.359 --> 00:34:52.055 businesses and markets across Australia 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.536 to describe their own work. Council's 00:34:54.560 --> 00:34:56.375 use of the term in the reconciliation 00:34:56.399 --> 00:34:58.216 strategy reflects respect for 00:34:58.240 --> 00:34:59.575 contemporary Aboriginal 00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.055 self-identification and language and 00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:03.976 aligns with how these enterprises 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:06.216 describe themselves. Council does not 00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:08.136 use the term to label people nor to 00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:10.456 impose language is only used in 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:12.536 reference to Aboriginalled enterprises 00:35:12.560 --> 00:35:14.456 and initiatives that them that they 00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:16.776 themselves use this terminology. For 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:18.616 these reasons, council does not consider 00:35:18.640 --> 00:35:21.575 the use of the term black BLK in this 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:23.416 context to be racist. Rather, it 00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:25.176 reflects respectful, informed, and 00:35:25.200 --> 00:35:26.936 contemporary practice guided by 00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:28.696 Aboriginal voices and cultural 00:35:28.720 --> 00:35:31.720 authority. Thank you. 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:33.896 Next two questions are from Kate. Aren't 00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:36.055 proposals to create a kindergarten cury 00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:37.815 kinder seemingly specifically only for 00:35:37.839 --> 00:35:39.815 Aboriginal children completely contrary 00:35:39.839 --> 00:35:42.216 to the idea of promoting inclusivity and 00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:44.456 social cohesion in our society? As 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.696 mentioned in agenda tonight on page 23 00:35:46.720 --> 00:35:48.536 of appendix 1, strategy for 00:35:48.560 --> 00:35:51.496 reconciliation 2026. and two, aren't we 00:35:51.520 --> 00:35:53.095 supposed to be stronger together and not 00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:55.176 separated out according to our race and 00:35:55.200 --> 00:35:56.936 skin color? Again, I'll ask general 00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:58.296 manager committee strengthening Kate 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.095 Waters to respond. Thank you and through 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:03.976 you, mayor. The reconciliation strategy 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.616 does not include a proposal for a quory 00:36:06.640 --> 00:36:08.856 kinder. However, the idea of a quory 00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:10.536 kinder was one of many suggestions 00:36:10.560 --> 00:36:11.896 received during the community 00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:14.616 consultation processes. The consultation 00:36:14.640 --> 00:36:17.640 findings are on page 22 and 2023 of the 00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:19.575 strategy under the what we heard 00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:21.496 section. Importantly, community 00:36:21.520 --> 00:36:23.656 consultation is only one input used to 00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:26.680 develop the strategy. 00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:28.616 Next question is from Vera. Two 00:36:28.640 --> 00:36:30.616 questions. They are reconciliation 00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:32.296 action strategy meetings held in person 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:34.296 at Kingston somewhere and if so where 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.055 are they held and how and where is the 00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:37.896 public informed about the time and 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.256 whereabouts of these meetings so that 00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:41.256 the public can join in to this and 00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:43.335 support? And the second question or is 00:36:43.359 --> 00:36:45.176 the wider public not invited? Again, 00:36:45.200 --> 00:36:47.896 I'll ask Miss Waters to respond. 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.696 Thank you.

Again, I ask 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:34.376 Miss Waters to respond to that question. 00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:35.976 Thank you. and through you may the 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.055 reconciliation strategy reference group 00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:40.296 currently comprises four members three 00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:41.736 of whom are first nations 00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:43.815 representatives at the time of community 00:37:43.839 --> 00:37:46.055 consultation on the reconciliation 00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:47.896 strategy the group had eight members 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:49.496 five of whom were first nations 00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:51.656 representatives 00:37:51.680 --> 00:37:54.616 next question is from Arena is it not 00:37:54.640 --> 00:37:55.976 true that this Kingston Council 00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:59.000 Aboriginal strategy plan 2026 to 2030 00:37:59.040 --> 00:38:00.536 within the agenda tonight will mean 00:38:00.560 --> 00:38:02.456 actioning a policy to change the name of 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.256 places streets parks waterways and other 00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:06.776 things and places in Kingston because 00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.256 this renaming forms part of the policy 00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.256 in this plan. Once again, I will ask 00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:13.815 Miss Waters to respond. 00:38:13.839 --> 00:38:15.736 Thank you and through you, Mayor.

Um the simple 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:25.896 answer is no. The reconciliation does 00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:28.296 not introduce a new naming policy and it 00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:30.536 does not require or mandate the renaming 00:38:30.560 --> 00:38:33.176 of existing streets, parks, waterways or 00:38:33.200 --> 00:38:35.575 places in Kingston.

Can 00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:53.976 council please give me an idea how many 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:56.776 trees in Kingston have been or will be 00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:58.856 lost to the following build big build 00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.880 works.

I'll ask general 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:21.815 manager infrastructure and open space 00:40:21.839 --> 00:40:24.696 Samantha Cruel to respond. 00:40:24.720 --> 00:40:26.536 Thank you and through the chair.

There's 00:43:24.640 --> 00:43:27.095 been an extensive amount of work 00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.119 not only in this document and um the 00:43:30.160 --> 00:43:32.856 attached documents also um but really 00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:34.936 it's a culmination of over a decade of 00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.815 work. So um the team's put in an you 00:43:37.839 --> 00:43:40.839 know a mammoth amount of time um into 00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:42.616 supporting the community over all that 00:43:42.640 --> 00:43:44.776 time. Um there are some really good 00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:47.656 points within this report as well 00:43:47.680 --> 00:43:50.376 that really shows I think a close 00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:53.176 understanding of of our community and 00:43:53.200 --> 00:43:55.335 what our community are hoping to see 00:43:55.359 --> 00:43:57.896 from council. Um just pulling out one 00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.536 thing just the just the recommendations 00:44:00.560 --> 00:44:03.256 around the 5 m setbacks around the 00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:06.216 perimeter of the um of the golf course 00:44:06.240 --> 00:44:09.240 and trying to retain as much um 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:13.000 canopy cover within those setbacks. I I 00:44:13.040 --> 00:44:16.040 think is really useful. Um it might not 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:18.616 seem significant, but I know it will 00:44:18.640 --> 00:44:20.536 have a massive impact on anybody who's 00:44:20.560 --> 00:44:22.376 adjoining the golf course if that was to 00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:25.400 be followed. So again, I' I'd like to 00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:27.815 really thank the team for all their work 00:44:27.839 --> 00:44:29.736 and really happy to see this in front 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:32.760 of council. So thank you. 00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:34.456 Thank you, Councelor Hill. Councelor 00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.095 Revanus. 00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:39.095 Thank you, Madame Mayor. just in line 00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:40.936 with everybody else thanking the 00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:43.095 officers for their works but also to 00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.736 Jacqueline Murdoch for her work as well. 00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:47.335 Thank you. 00:44:47.359 --> 00:44:49.016 Thank you councelor Evanasus. Are there 00:44:49.040 --> 00:44:52.040 any other counselors? 00:44:54.240 --> 00:44:56.136 Whilst I completely agree in thanking 00:44:56.160 --> 00:44:57.736 our officers, I also do want to thank 00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.295 the community for their ongoing 00:45:00.319 --> 00:45:01.656 support of council in working through 00:45:01.680 --> 00:45:04.616 what has been I know a very difficult 00:45:04.640 --> 00:45:07.176 time. Um, and I know there's been a lot 00:45:07.200 --> 00:45:09.496 of things going on. And I I hope that 00:45:09.520 --> 00:45:11.736 this represents the views of the 00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:14.216 community as much as we possibly can, 00:45:14.240 --> 00:45:16.696 not being the one responsible for the 00:45:16.720 --> 00:45:19.016 approval of of the development at this 00:45:19.040 --> 00:45:22.040 site. Um, I I certainly think that this 00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:24.776 report puts forward the views of the 00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:27.095 community to achieve the best possible 00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:28.856 outcome that can be there with an 00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:30.776 approval of a development. And whilst 00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:32.856 council was very vocal in supporting the 00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:34.856 community in trying to stop the 00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:36.616 development of this site, I think we're 00:45:36.640 --> 00:45:39.575 at a point where perhaps the inevitable 00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:41.896 is happening, but we are still trying 00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:43.496 our very best to put forward the views 00:45:43.520 --> 00:45:44.776 of the community to support the 00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:46.776 community in achieving the very best 00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:49.800 possible outcome that can be there. um 00:45:50.160 --> 00:45:51.416 particularly in some of the benefits 00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:52.776 that we're we're trying to get for the 00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:54.856 wider community on this site and and 00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:56.295 some of the issues I know that the 00:45:56.319 --> 00:45:57.656 community's raised with us that we are 00:45:57.680 --> 00:46:00.055 now putting forward in this submission. 00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:01.815 Um, I think this highlights to me though 00:46:01.839 --> 00:46:03.896 that the the changes that are being made 00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:05.976 from a planning perspective, from the 00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:09.000 state government are not supporting our 00:46:09.040 --> 00:46:11.496 local communities. And it's something 00:46:11.520 --> 00:46:13.736 that I I have been vocal about and will 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.736 continue to be very vocal about of that 00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:17.736 local planning decisions should be made 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:19.736 by your local council that is able to 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:21.976 listen to and represent the views of the 00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:24.055 local community exactly as we have done 00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:26.776 in this report. But unfortunately, we 00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:28.216 aren't the decision maker in this 00:46:28.240 --> 00:46:30.216 scenario. And unfortunately, that seems 00:46:30.240 --> 00:46:31.976 to be happening more and more and will 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:33.335 continue to probably happen more and 00:46:33.359 --> 00:46:35.416 more with the planning reform changes. 00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:36.936 And I just think that that is a real 00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:38.536 shame because the relationship that 00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:39.976 we've been able to develop with our 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:42.696 community through this has been a a 00:46:42.720 --> 00:46:45.720 really good one. Um, and whilst it's not 00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:47.736 the outcome we would have liked to have 00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.536 seen at Kingswood, um, I certainly hope 00:46:50.560 --> 00:46:52.616 that the community are happy with the 00:46:52.640 --> 00:46:53.896 submission that we are putting forward 00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:56.055 and knowing that we will continue to try 00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:57.815 and get the best possible outcome in 00:46:57.839 --> 00:47:00.616 this site right until the very end. If 00:47:00.640 --> 00:47:02.616 there are no other counselors, council 00:47:02.640 --> 00:47:04.856 O'Donnell, do you wish to close? 00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:06.696 Reserve. Oh, you don't reserve. We just 00:47:06.720 --> 00:47:08.936 move to the vote. Thank you. I'll put 00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.960 that to the vote. All those in favor? 00:47:13.680 --> 00:47:16.680 That is carried unanimously. 00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.616 We'll move to item 9.1, the Kingston 00:47:20.640 --> 00:47:22.776 Grants Program Local Business Community 00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:25.256 Act category. 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:27.256 Council O'Donnell, 00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.280 the amended motion. 00:47:30.319 --> 00:47:32.216 Thank you.

Um and subsequently that went to 00:48:12.160 --> 00:48:13.976 our grants working group where the 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.335 grants working group were able to 00:48:15.359 --> 00:48:18.055 discuss this matter and subsequently 00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:19.656 have sort of worked together to come up 00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:22.216 with um the eligibility criteria and 00:48:22.240 --> 00:48:24.456 amendment here that would support our 00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:26.856 small businesses um without needing to 00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:29.176 get into the conversation on how many 00:48:29.200 --> 00:48:31.016 employees or contractors or any of those 00:48:31.040 --> 00:48:33.095 types of things and just basing that on 00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:35.575 an annual turnover and having operated 00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:37.496 in the City of Kingston.

Thank you, 00:54:56.319 --> 00:54:59.176 Council O'Donnell. 00:54:59.200 --> 00:55:02.200 Thank you, Mayor Oxley. Um 00:55:03.119 --> 00:55:05.815 I have been quite open in regards to my 00:55:05.839 --> 00:55:07.335 concerns 00:55:07.359 --> 00:55:10.359 for the potential for cost shifting from 00:55:11.520 --> 00:55:14.520 state federal governments or treaty. Um 00:55:15.520 --> 00:55:18.216 I haven't got any proof in that 00:55:18.240 --> 00:55:20.616 happening and I was listening to the the 00:55:20.640 --> 00:55:22.696 questions asked by the community and I 00:55:22.720 --> 00:55:24.136 can understand the questions that were 00:55:24.160 --> 00:55:25.575 asked this evening and why you are 00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:28.599 concerned. Hence why I am moving this 00:55:28.640 --> 00:55:31.095 amendment to 00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:34.119 show that I understand the concerns come 00:55:34.240 --> 00:55:36.055 coming from the community. I also 00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:38.456 understand the concerns and what I have 00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:40.535 witnessed personally as the MAV 00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:43.496 delegate for the City of Kingston. Um, 00:55:43.520 --> 00:55:45.416 as I said, I haven't any proof, but 00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:48.440 discussions that have taken place, I 00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:51.335 would I feel much far more comfortable 00:55:51.359 --> 00:55:53.496 um having this come through to make sure 00:55:53.520 --> 00:55:56.136 that we protect the City of Kingston 00:55:56.160 --> 00:55:58.136 from any potential. Now, I don't know 00:55:58.160 --> 00:55:59.896 the numbers that come together for 00:55:59.920 --> 00:56:02.376 renaming a street, an oval, a park, a 00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:05.400 park bench, a road, a whatever else 00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:07.815 could happen, but I do understand that 00:56:07.839 --> 00:56:10.216 it is quite significant. Local 00:56:10.240 --> 00:56:11.736 government is not in a situation where 00:56:11.760 --> 00:56:14.760 it's able to sustain that level of cost 00:56:16.720 --> 00:56:18.376 shifting from local government or 00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:21.400 federal government or from treaty itself 00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:24.599 should there be a movement towards 00:56:25.359 --> 00:56:28.359 renaming council assets. And in saying 00:56:28.799 --> 00:56:31.176 that, 00:56:31.200 --> 00:56:34.200 it's very blurry in regards to 00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:38.856 Could we please make sure that the 00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:41.880 gallery remains quiet? Um, it's very 00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.095 blurry on what this is going to look 00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:48.119 like um, moving forward. So, whilst I'm 00:56:49.520 --> 00:56:51.256 supporting the reconciliation strategy 00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:53.256 moving forward, I do want to make sure 00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:54.696 that council is protected from the 00:56:54.720 --> 00:56:56.376 potential cost shifting that could take 00:56:56.400 --> 00:56:59.095 place. It is not said that it is going 00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.736 to take place. I said could take place 00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:03.416 and that is why I'm moving this 00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:05.736 amendment this evening. Also to 00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:08.535 recognize the feedback from the 00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:11.559 community in regards to supporters and 00:57:11.599 --> 00:57:13.095 those who have not been overly 00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:16.119 supportive but understand that the the 00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:19.400 feedback specifically often outlines the 00:57:20.799 --> 00:57:23.575 concern regarding the cost associated 00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:26.599 with it. Um so that is why I'm making 00:57:26.640 --> 00:57:28.456 the amend bring the amendment into 00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:31.256 chamber tonight is to make sure that 00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:34.055 whilst as I said I supportive of the 00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:35.896 reconciliation strategy but I just want 00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:37.656 to make sure that we're a listening to 00:57:37.680 --> 00:57:39.575 the community and their feedback and b 00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:41.815 making sure that the City of Kingston 00:57:41.839 --> 00:57:43.815 are protected from any potential cost 00:57:43.839 --> 00:57:45.976 shifting that we may see in the future. 00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:48.456 So thank you. Thank you, councelor 00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:51.016 O'Donnell. Councelor Agirtan 00:57:51.040 --> 00:57:54.040 reserve. Any other counselors? Councelor 00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:57.079 Athanasopoulos. 00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:00.760 Um, not to cover much more about the 00:58:01.520 --> 00:58:03.256 actual reconciliation action plan. I 00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:06.280 think it looks like it may 00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:08.376 potentially come back to the to another 00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:11.016 meeting., but I will speak to what we 00:58:11.040 --> 00:58:14.040 have before us. my discomfort 00:58:14.799 --> 00:58:17.496 around how this is written is um 00:58:17.520 --> 00:58:19.095 considering the consultation process 00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:21.416 that has taken place and the feedback 00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.136 that has been incorporated. I think a 00:58:24.160 --> 00:58:25.815 pure deferral would have been our best 00:58:25.839 --> 00:58:28.839 process going forward. Um and then for 00:58:29.359 --> 00:58:32.359 our counselors if you like um to put 00:58:34.160 --> 00:58:35.896 forward the changes that they think are 00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:37.496 in line with the feedback that we 00:58:37.520 --> 00:58:40.136 receive. Now that in saying that I think 00:58:40.160 --> 00:58:42.376 it would be fair to say and Ms. Waters 00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:43.976 please interrupt me if I'm incorrect in 00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:45.815 saying this but our officers have 00:58:45.839 --> 00:58:48.295 considered the information that our 00:58:48.319 --> 00:58:50.216 community has provided and on balance 00:58:50.240 --> 00:58:52.376 considering there are conflicting um 00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:55.400 views. they think that the 00:58:55.680 --> 00:58:57.176 reconciliation action plan has put 00:58:57.200 --> 00:58:58.696 before council is what they would 00:58:58.720 --> 00:59:01.256 recommend. So kind of in point A, I 00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:03.575 think um I don't know. I'm not confident 00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:06.456 that officers could respond in any 00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:09.480 meaningful way. Um and I feel maybe I'm 00:59:09.839 --> 00:59:11.736 not saying this is the intent or that it 00:59:11.760 --> 00:59:13.496 actually achieves this, but I don't want 00:59:13.520 --> 00:59:15.815 to be seen as um potentially directing 00:59:15.839 --> 00:59:18.839 officers. So um yeah, for me it would 00:59:19.200 --> 00:59:21.256 have been better that we defer. On point 00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:23.176 B though, I totally agree. I think that 00:59:23.200 --> 00:59:26.200 that um cost shifting exercise if 00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:28.376 something is endorsed by council that 00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:30.136 we'd support and go ahead with yeah I 00:59:30.160 --> 00:59:31.976 think we should pay for it. I think when 00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:34.696 something is put upon us and yeah we 00:59:34.720 --> 00:59:36.295 should have something in our papers that 00:59:36.319 --> 00:59:38.936 say it it remains our decision on how 00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:41.416 that's paid for and worked on. So I 00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:42.856 wouldn't have an issue with that. But 00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:44.055 yeah I think I find it a bit 00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:45.896 uncomfortable as it's presented to us 00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:47.575 tonight. It doesn't mean I'm not going 00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:50.376 to vote um I'm going to vote against it, 00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:52.216 but I would have much preferred that 00:59:52.240 --> 00:59:54.535 just an overall deferral which would 00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:55.656 would have achieved the same thing 00:59:55.680 --> 00:59:57.335 really and for it to come back to 00:59:57.359 --> 00:59:59.656 council. 00:59:59.680 --> 01:00:01.416 Thank you. Councelor Athanasopoulos, are there 01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:04.440 any other councilors? 01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:08.535 Council Ash Colette. 01:00:08.559 --> 01:00:10.055 Would we be able to vote for this in 01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:12.136 parts, please? 01:00:12.160 --> 01:00:14.136 yes, 01:00:14.160 --> 01:00:17.160 I'm happy to do that. 01:00:18.319 --> 01:00:20.295 Are there any other counselors wanting 01:00:20.319 --> 01:00:23.319 to speak to the matter? 01:00:24.799 --> 01:00:27.799 A question. 01:00:27.839 --> 01:00:29.176 When we say in parts, are we going to 01:00:29.200 --> 01:00:30.856 just do one and two or we going to do 01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:32.936 one, 2 A, 2 B? 01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:35.960 One, 2 A, and 2 B. 01:00:36.160 --> 01:00:39.160 Yep. More votes the better. 01:00:40.160 --> 01:00:43.160 Any other councils on this matter? 01:00:45.200 --> 01:00:47.736 I will just say that um I'm happy to 01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:49.656 support this this evening. I think with 01:00:49.680 --> 01:00:51.496 the inclusion of potential changes in 01:00:51.520 --> 01:00:54.520 response to feedback um allows officers 01:00:54.880 --> 01:00:57.016 to provide options. They have obviously 01:00:57.040 --> 01:00:59.176 provided their officer recommendation. 01:00:59.200 --> 01:01:01.335 Um I perhaps have a different view that 01:01:01.359 --> 01:01:03.976 we haven't necessarily incorporated the 01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:06.055 feedback and and perhaps some of the 01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:08.856 responses that were given um could have 01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:11.815 been more inclusive of all of the 01:01:11.839 --> 01:01:13.416 submitters. And I think they've they've 01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:14.775 taken their time to provide that 01:01:14.799 --> 01:01:17.095 feedback whether we agreed with that 01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:19.656 feedback or not. Um I think we deserve 01:01:19.680 --> 01:01:21.815 to to take that on board whether we want 01:01:21.839 --> 01:01:23.896 to incorporate that. That's obviously a 01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:25.095 decision of council. I don't think it's 01:01:25.119 --> 01:01:26.535 directing officers. I think if that's a 01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:28.535 decision of council to ask them to go 01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:29.736 back and provide options for 01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:31.815 incorporating that feedback then that is 01:01:31.839 --> 01:01:33.815 a a perfectly reasonable decision for 01:01:33.839 --> 01:01:35.256 council to make. So we'll be supporting 01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:37.976 that this evening. Councelor Donald you 01:01:38.000 --> 01:01:41.000 wish to close? 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:45.000 Yes. And am I 01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:46.535 press it again? 01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:49.416 Yeah. 01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:50.456 Yep. We're good. 01:01:50.480 --> 01:01:51.496 Yeah. 01:01:51.520 --> 01:01:54.520 Okay. It's playing games with me. Um, 01:01:54.720 --> 01:01:57.256 thank you, Mayor Oxley, for making that 01:01:57.280 --> 01:01:59.416 far more clear than than I obviously got 01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:02.440 to. Um I do want to point out as I said 01:02:02.640 --> 01:02:05.640 I am not not supporting the 01:02:06.799 --> 01:02:09.095 reconciliation 01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:12.055 um strategy that is before us that we 01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:13.976 have spent a lot of time going out to 01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:17.000 the community for their consultation. 01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:20.119 It is my position that I am elected to 01:02:20.720 --> 01:02:23.095 to make sure that I'm listening to 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.496 everyone's feedback in regards to this. 01:02:25.520 --> 01:02:27.416 This is not my opportunity to have an 01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:29.416 opinion. That is not what this is. that 01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:31.016 is not what I will do as a counselor and 01:02:31.040 --> 01:02:33.335 what I'm elected to do. So, this is 01:02:33.359 --> 01:02:36.359 entirely making sure that our community 01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:39.480 are heard, listened to, and that that's 01:02:39.680 --> 01:02:41.736 received in the strategy that is put 01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:43.176 forward. So, that's where we're at 01:02:43.200 --> 01:02:46.200 tonight. As I said, um and reiterate my 01:02:46.240 --> 01:02:49.095 concerns to potential cost shifting. Um 01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:50.856 that's the reality. We deal with it on a 01:02:50.880 --> 01:02:53.335 number of faces throughout multiple 01:02:53.359 --> 01:02:55.496 areas of concern throughout local 01:02:55.520 --> 01:02:57.736 government. The cost shifting happens 01:02:57.760 --> 01:03:00.760 regularly and it is something that is a 01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:04.856 massive concern to to myself as a 01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:07.256 counselor and our ability to be able to 01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:09.496 wear those costs when they are placed 01:03:09.520 --> 01:03:12.520 upon us by governments of state and 01:03:13.200 --> 01:03:15.335 federal level. It can be incredibly 01:03:15.359 --> 01:03:17.335 damaging. That is what ends up having 01:03:17.359 --> 01:03:19.496 your rates increased.

It's 01:08:58.080 --> 01:08:59.655 been in a bit of need of some love and 01:08:59.679 --> 01:09:02.679 some TLC. Um I do want to point out that 01:09:03.120 --> 01:09:05.496 in reflection to 01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:08.520 the two parks named at waterways. Um 01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:12.856 there is going to be 01:09:12.880 --> 01:09:15.255 more work done in the future um to what 01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:16.616 this looks like. But we also need to 01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:19.096 take into consideration the entire space 01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:21.976 and what what we can do and we can move 01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:24.536 forward together as is working together. 01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:25.735 And I love catching up with the 01:09:25.759 --> 01:09:27.416 residents association and the owners 01:09:27.440 --> 01:09:30.215 corporation in waterways. um you're a 01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:31.735 great bunch of people to work with.

Council 01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:49.815 Ashworth, Colette. 01:09:49.839 --> 01:09:51.096 Yes. So, I'd like to start off by 01:09:51.120 --> 01:09:53.255 thanking councelor John for u allowing 01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:55.816 this amendment on number four just to 01:09:55.840 --> 01:09:58.840 extend um playground work that's beyond 01:09:59.040 --> 01:10:00.936 her wall. The plans for her wall look 01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:03.496 fantastic. Um 01:10:03.520 --> 01:10:05.736 it's really important in my mind that we 01:10:05.760 --> 01:10:08.760 have local and small local neighborhood 01:10:08.880 --> 01:10:10.456 playgrounds 01:10:10.480 --> 01:10:12.695 um revitalized or renewed. A lot of them 01:10:12.719 --> 01:10:15.175 are over 20 to 25 years old. And so 01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:17.655 that's what this point 4 is asking for 01:10:17.679 --> 01:10:19.736 is a briefing back to counselors and 01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:21.336 then when some more information comes 01:10:21.360 --> 01:10:24.360 together for a report as well and 01:10:25.120 --> 01:10:26.536 hopefully we might be able to implement 01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:29.336 putting in more playgrounds into the 01:10:29.360 --> 01:10:32.360 future. Um, these small and small local 01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:34.456 and local playgrounds are the type of 01:10:34.480 --> 01:10:36.456 ones that might just be on a single 01:10:36.480 --> 01:10:38.856 block of land. And they're the type of 01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:40.936 playgrounds that I think a lot of 01:10:40.960 --> 01:10:43.256 parents and caregivers know about is 01:10:43.280 --> 01:10:46.280 you've been inside all day. You might be 01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:48.376 living in high density. So, you have a 01:10:48.400 --> 01:10:50.776 small backyard and you go out for a bike 01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:52.376 ride, your kid goes out for a bike ride, 01:10:52.400 --> 01:10:54.616 a scooter or a walk and then they spend 01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:56.936 some time there. And I think in these 01:10:56.960 --> 01:10:58.616 small playgrounds, community comes 01:10:58.640 --> 01:10:59.816 together really well. you make 01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:01.976 friendships, you see the same kids and 01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:04.056 parents and families there. So, I think 01:11:04.080 --> 01:11:05.496 that the connections that happen in 01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:07.256 these playgrounds are really important 01:11:07.280 --> 01:11:09.256 compared to maybe some of our more 01:11:09.280 --> 01:11:11.256 amazing bigger playgrounds on the four 01:11:11.280 --> 01:11:12.536 shores and that sort of thing where 01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:14.215 they're more of a destination that 01:11:14.239 --> 01:11:16.616 people come to. So, I'm really looking 01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:18.536 forward to getting a report back on to 01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:21.560 these and I'm putting into action um 01:11:21.840 --> 01:11:23.336 some of the great work that was done 01:11:23.360 --> 01:11:25.655 through your playway strategy back in 01:11:25.679 --> 01:11:27.736 2023. Just wanted to thank councelor 01:11:27.760 --> 01:11:30.616 O'Donnell again. 01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:32.135 Thank you councelor Ashworth Colette. 01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:34.536 Are there any other counselors? 01:11:34.560 --> 01:11:37.560 Councelor Hill. 01:11:38.480 --> 01:11:40.215 Thanks Mayor Roxley. look I just 01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:43.239 wanted to quickly speak in support of 01:11:43.440 --> 01:11:46.440 point4. Also um in my ward the Patty 01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:49.336 Street Burke Street playground has just 01:11:49.360 --> 01:11:51.816 recently been renewed. Um, we've 01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:53.256 obviously just gone through school 01:11:53.280 --> 01:11:56.280 holidays and, anyone in the local 01:11:56.560 --> 01:11:58.776 area would have, seen if they drove 01:11:58.800 --> 01:12:01.416 past just how well utilized that new 01:12:01.440 --> 01:12:03.416 playground has been. And I think it's 01:12:03.440 --> 01:12:06.215 just a great example of how what in the 01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:08.536 grand scheme of things isn't, you know, 01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:11.175 an overly big investment for council 01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:12.616 relative to some of the other things 01:12:12.640 --> 01:12:15.016 that we need to spend money on. But when 01:12:15.040 --> 01:12:17.175 you see the massive amount of well the 01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:19.496 massive impact that it has on our 01:12:19.520 --> 01:12:22.520 community, um much of Kingston is very 01:12:23.440 --> 01:12:25.336 familyfriendly. Um these play 01:12:25.360 --> 01:12:27.336 playgrounds are super important. They go 01:12:27.360 --> 01:12:30.360 to um I guess the sense of place that 01:12:30.480 --> 01:12:32.776 people have about the areas that they 01:12:32.800 --> 01:12:35.655 live. the even these smaller playgrounds 01:12:35.679 --> 01:12:38.616 can be you know destinations in a sense 01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:40.215 that you know when you have guests over 01:12:40.239 --> 01:12:42.215 or something that you know the first 01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:45.016 destination will be the local playground 01:12:45.040 --> 01:12:46.936 um with with your friends kids and those 01:12:46.960 --> 01:12:49.256 sorts of things. So I I do think these 01:12:49.280 --> 01:12:51.096 are are great investments. I know it 01:12:51.120 --> 01:12:52.776 always has to be considered in the grand 01:12:52.800 --> 01:12:55.336 scheme of the overall budget um but I do 01:12:55.360 --> 01:12:56.776 think it does need um some 01:12:56.800 --> 01:12:58.776 consideration. So happy to support that. 01:12:58.800 --> 01:12:59.576 Thank you. 01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:00.936 Thank you councelor Hill. Are there any 01:13:00.960 --> 01:13:03.960 other counselors?

Um anyway, more importantly, the 01:13:20.480 --> 01:13:22.296 this is a great notice of motion. one 01:13:22.320 --> 01:13:24.376 for the area in question that we're 01:13:24.400 --> 01:13:25.816 actually going to take some action on, 01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:28.840 but two also because everyone in every 01:13:29.360 --> 01:13:31.655 um ward would would know of a local 01:13:31.679 --> 01:13:33.655 park. that's very important for 01:13:33.679 --> 01:13:35.336 people to get to. You don't want people 01:13:35.360 --> 01:13:37.096 jumping over major roads or especially 01:13:37.120 --> 01:13:38.856 kids having to jump over major roads and 01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:40.215 risk themselves. So having the 01:13:40.239 --> 01:13:41.655 infrastructure right there where they 01:13:41.679 --> 01:13:43.976 are so they can access it quite easily 01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:45.976 is very very important. And if you were 01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:47.896 to look like a waterway center, there is 01:13:47.920 --> 01:13:49.816 quite vast distances that you may have 01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:52.840 to cover if there's um those parks 01:13:52.880 --> 01:13:55.016 aren't up to scratch. So, and you know, 01:13:55.040 --> 01:13:57.336 if you look at my neck of the woods, 01:13:57.360 --> 01:13:59.096 it's different again where you're penned 01:13:59.120 --> 01:14:01.096 in by Center Road, Clayton Road, West 01:14:01.120 --> 01:14:03.496 Road potentially. And if those sort of 01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:05.016 facilities in and around that area, 01:14:05.040 --> 01:14:08.040 you're requesting people to um go into 01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:11.096 areas um with quite big barriers in the 01:14:11.120 --> 01:14:13.496 way. So I think it'll be interesting to 01:14:13.520 --> 01:14:15.016 see what comes back to us in December 01:14:15.040 --> 01:14:17.175 and I'm pretty confident that most 01:14:17.199 --> 01:14:18.776 councilors would want to see an 01:14:18.800 --> 01:14:21.336 expansion in this space. Thanks. 01:14:21.360 --> 01:14:22.856 Thank you councelor Athanasopoulos. Are 01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:25.880 there any other councilors? 01:14:26.400 --> 01:14:27.576 Councelor O'Donnell, do you wish to 01:14:27.600 --> 01:14:29.416 close? 01:14:29.440 --> 01:14:32.135 I just want to thank councelor Ashworth 01:14:32.159 --> 01:14:34.856 Colette for the the chats and 01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:37.880 discussions we've had in regards to this 01:14:38.080 --> 01:14:41.080 resolution and it's playgrounds. I mean 01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:44.296 really who doesn't love a playground? 01:14:44.320 --> 01:14:45.256 Thank you. 01:14:45.280 --> 01:14:46.776 Thank you. I will put that to the vote. 01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:49.496 All those in favor 01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:52.520 that is carried unanimously. 01:14:53.440 --> 01:14:55.816 Item 10.3, the response to resolution 01:14:55.840 --> 01:14:57.576 establishing a botanical garden in 01:14:57.600 --> 01:15:00.600 Kingston. Councilor O'Donnell. 01:15:02.480 --> 01:15:05.480 An amended motion. 01:15:05.679 --> 01:15:08.679 We're getting there. 01:15:11.760 --> 01:15:14.616 Y. 01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:15.816 Can you just double check that's 01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:18.840 correct? 01:15:23.360 --> 01:15:26.360 A second. Councelor H. Thank you, 01:15:27.360 --> 01:15:30.360 Council O'Donnell. 01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:36.520 Councelor How? 01:15:37.120 --> 01:15:38.776 Thank you, Mayor Oxley. this is a 01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:41.800 wonderful opportunity to um 01:15:44.080 --> 01:15:45.496 to go and look at what the site can 01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:48.056 really deliver 01:15:48.080 --> 01:15:51.080 but importantly to um 01:15:52.239 --> 01:15:54.616 not duplicate effort to look at the um 01:15:54.640 --> 01:15:56.776 the site for the sake of a botanical 01:15:56.800 --> 01:15:58.376 garden and then realize that may not be 01:15:58.400 --> 01:16:00.616 suited later on. one of the 01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:02.215 advantages of this site is that it 01:16:02.239 --> 01:16:05.175 actually has a um well it will shortly 01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:08.199 have a um a relocated indigenous 01:16:09.120 --> 01:16:11.256 nursery. So that creates a great 01:16:11.280 --> 01:16:13.736 opportunity to take this space and 01:16:13.760 --> 01:16:16.296 look at this as being either a botanical 01:16:16.320 --> 01:16:19.016 garden or a arboritum. 01:16:19.040 --> 01:16:22.040 We all know what that is. Thank you. 01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:24.776 Thank you councelor How. Are there any 01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:27.096 other counselors? 01:16:27.120 --> 01:16:29.576 Councelor sub 01:16:29.600 --> 01:16:31.896 just a question through you mayor to the 01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:34.920 um relevant manager. Um have we engaged 01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:39.960 in this process with um the Botanic 01:16:40.080 --> 01:16:41.736 Society of Australia like the Botanic 01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:43.336 Gardens Society of Australia or I think 01:16:43.360 --> 01:16:45.175 they called the Royal Botanic Society of 01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:48.199 Australia something along those lines. 01:16:49.199 --> 01:16:52.199 Miss Crawl, 01:16:52.719 --> 01:16:54.856 thank you through you may um I'm not 01:16:54.880 --> 01:16:57.880 sure whether we have um councelor SA if 01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:00.135 officers have not done so yet we 01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:01.976 definitely will as part of developing 01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:05.000 the future use of this site 01:17:07.760 --> 01:17:10.215 just 01:17:10.239 --> 01:17:13.096 thank you um that's okay so you might 01:17:13.120 --> 01:17:14.616 not have the answer now sorry miss crawl 01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:17.640 but just I guess another question then 01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:19.816 if it's not necessarily engaging with 01:17:19.840 --> 01:17:21.736 them. But have we done a feasibility to 01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:24.760 understand um like the necessity of 01:17:25.840 --> 01:17:28.056 having a botanic gardens in this area 01:17:28.080 --> 01:17:29.896 versus other parts of the City? Cuz 01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:32.616 generally botanic gardens are for a 01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:34.376 wider area, not necessarily just the 01:17:34.400 --> 01:17:37.016 City. 01:17:37.040 --> 01:17:40.040 Miss Crop, 01:17:41.280 --> 01:17:43.576 thank you through you, Mayor. Um the 01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:46.456 report does talk to the neighboring 01:17:46.480 --> 01:17:49.336 larger botanical gardens in our 01:17:49.360 --> 01:17:50.776 neighboring municipalities which are 01:17:50.800 --> 01:17:53.016 more destination type gardens. The 01:17:53.040 --> 01:17:55.175 report also touches on the existing 01:17:55.199 --> 01:17:57.896 small botanical garden we have in on 01:17:57.920 --> 01:17:59.976 Kingston Heath Reserve and also 01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:01.576 highlight in the report on the number of 01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:03.976 sites we've looked at around Kingston um 01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:06.135 as potential sites for development of a 01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:09.159 botanical garden in Kingston. 01:18:10.159 --> 01:18:13.159 Council 01:18:14.880 --> 01:18:15.736 sub. 01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:17.655 Thank you. I just comments if I can now. 01:18:17.679 --> 01:18:19.976 Thank you, Mayor. Um I'm I'm actually 01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:22.215 really supportive of of the idea of us 01:18:22.239 --> 01:18:24.135 exploring um the development of a 01:18:24.159 --> 01:18:25.976 botanic garden. I do also think I've had 01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:28.456 conversations with councelor How around 01:18:28.480 --> 01:18:31.480 Liam Reserve and um a while back um and 01:18:32.080 --> 01:18:34.695 I understand you know how the site is 01:18:34.719 --> 01:18:35.896 used and what the potential for that 01:18:35.920 --> 01:18:38.695 site could be. Um, I guess my my concern 01:18:38.719 --> 01:18:40.936 in this is just I guess I wasn't totally 01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:42.376 aware of what the budget implications 01:18:42.400 --> 01:18:43.816 for having a botanical gardens, 01:18:43.840 --> 01:18:45.016 especially something of the scale that 01:18:45.040 --> 01:18:47.096 they preserve is um and what that would 01:18:47.120 --> 01:18:48.695 mean for future considerations. The 01:18:48.719 --> 01:18:51.719 other concern I have generally is um 01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:54.776 whether or not a botanic garden by 01:18:54.800 --> 01:18:57.800 definition is needed in this part of um 01:18:58.719 --> 01:19:01.256 this the state. Um given there is a 01:19:01.280 --> 01:19:03.256 really significant one neighboring us 01:19:03.280 --> 01:19:05.416 near Casey and another one not too far 01:19:05.440 --> 01:19:08.440 off. in City of Port Phillip as 01:19:09.280 --> 01:19:11.896 well as then in the City of Melbourne 01:19:11.920 --> 01:19:14.920 and not from a not a long ways away. Um 01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:18.376 I guess so I just my hesitation is 01:19:18.400 --> 01:19:21.400 trying to better understand where those 01:19:21.760 --> 01:19:23.736 where this would fit amongst the other 01:19:23.760 --> 01:19:25.256 botanic gardens that exist throughout 01:19:25.280 --> 01:19:26.695 the state and and what kind of purpose 01:19:26.719 --> 01:19:27.896 that would then serve. I don't know if 01:19:27.920 --> 01:19:29.576 we've fully fleshed that out in this 01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:32.600 just yet. Um, for those reasons, I would 01:19:33.440 --> 01:19:35.655 likely abstain on this particular item, 01:19:35.679 --> 01:19:37.416 though generally I am supportive of the 01:19:37.440 --> 01:19:39.416 development of a botanic garden. I just 01:19:39.440 --> 01:19:41.496 I'd like to have some more detail around 01:19:41.520 --> 01:19:44.135 the questions and if the mover and the 01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:46.296 second would be amendable to it, it 01:19:46.320 --> 01:19:47.976 would I'd appreciate the opportunity to 01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:50.296 possibly defer so we could have some 01:19:50.320 --> 01:19:53.320 more of those discussions. Um, but 01:19:53.679 --> 01:19:55.416 conscience conscious that others may 01:19:55.440 --> 01:19:56.536 have already made their mind and I don't 01:19:56.560 --> 01:19:58.215 want to put them in that place. So if 01:19:58.239 --> 01:19:59.976 they aren't amendable to the idea of 01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:01.816 deferring I will have to abstain. Thank 01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:03.416 you. 01:20:03.440 --> 01:20:04.856 Thank you. Are there any other 01:20:04.880 --> 01:20:06.856 counselors? 01:20:06.880 --> 01:20:09.880 Councelor Reidas. 01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:12.296 Thank you ma madame mayor. I just wanted 01:20:12.320 --> 01:20:14.296 to make the comment um about the 01:20:14.320 --> 01:20:17.320 importance of botanical gardens and um 01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:20.936 even though there are other ones close 01:20:20.960 --> 01:20:23.960 by um with the rapid increase of high 01:20:24.320 --> 01:20:27.320 density living and um just to use as an 01:20:29.440 --> 01:20:32.440 example the the S William Fry Reserve um 01:20:33.679 --> 01:20:35.576 we're not sure how much land we're going 01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:37.496 to be given back by the state 01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:40.456 government. So, I think that it's really 01:20:40.480 --> 01:20:42.456 important to have as many botanical 01:20:42.480 --> 01:20:45.480 gardens as we we can. I support open 01:20:45.679 --> 01:20:48.679 spaces. So, I support this motion. Thank 01:20:48.960 --> 01:20:49.736 you. 01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:51.736 Thank you, councelor Revenus.

Um, 01:24:00.080 --> 01:24:01.496 I'm really really happy with the 01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:04.520 officer's report here and I think this 01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:07.496 is fantastic for our community with the 01:24:07.520 --> 01:24:09.096 number of councils that haven't 01:24:09.120 --> 01:24:12.120 supported the obligation to implement 01:24:12.639 --> 01:24:14.536 the glass recycling service as part of 01:24:14.560 --> 01:24:17.560 the state government's curbside reforms. 01:24:18.400 --> 01:24:19.896 It is not only going to come at an 01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:22.856 unbelievable cost with when you look at 01:24:22.880 --> 01:24:24.615 waste management as I have had the 01:24:24.639 --> 01:24:26.536 pleasure of getting to know a lot better 01:24:26.560 --> 01:24:29.560 since being elected to council. Um and 01:24:30.639 --> 01:24:33.016 now have a far deeper understanding to 01:24:33.040 --> 01:24:34.695 what goes into picking up your curbside 01:24:34.719 --> 01:24:36.215 bin. 01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:38.615 Adding another bin is not just for the 01:24:38.639 --> 01:24:40.376 homeowners to wheel out of their yard 01:24:40.400 --> 01:24:43.175 and onto the curb every week, fortnite, 01:24:43.199 --> 01:24:44.856 month, or whatever it's going to look 01:24:44.880 --> 01:24:47.416 like. It goes into the manufacturing and 01:24:47.440 --> 01:24:50.135 the purchasing of the bins, the trucks 01:24:50.159 --> 01:24:53.159 to actually execute the pickup. The list 01:24:53.360 --> 01:24:55.496 goes on and on and on. Not to mention 01:24:55.520 --> 01:24:57.576 the areas of curb sides throughout 01:24:57.600 --> 01:24:59.256 Kingston that you're going to be 01:24:59.280 --> 01:25:01.096 hardressed to find any curbside to put 01:25:01.120 --> 01:25:03.496 another bin on. 01:25:03.520 --> 01:25:06.376 the very low amount of glass that's 01:25:06.400 --> 01:25:08.776 present in the City of Kingston be 01:25:08.800 --> 01:25:10.936 through out using initiatives 01:25:10.960 --> 01:25:12.456 implemented 01:25:12.480 --> 01:25:14.695 um with the container deposit scheme 01:25:14.719 --> 01:25:16.536 which you know if you're anything like 01:25:16.560 --> 01:25:19.560 my husband he's got it all sorted and I 01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:21.416 reckon there's nearly one in every 01:25:21.440 --> 01:25:24.440 household that makes sure that the extra 01:25:24.480 --> 01:25:26.456 recyclable bottles are picked up and if 01:25:26.480 --> 01:25:28.135 not it's the kid going to look for some 01:25:28.159 --> 01:25:31.159 extra spare change to put in their 01:25:31.360 --> 01:25:33.736 skyrockets to be able to you 01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:35.896 head down the shops and buy I'd say a 01:25:35.920 --> 01:25:37.336 bag of mixed lollies, but I'm tipping 01:25:37.360 --> 01:25:39.976 their priced up high now these days. Um, 01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:43.000 we need to make sure that we stand up 01:25:43.280 --> 01:25:46.280 and protect the City of Kingston and 01:25:46.480 --> 01:25:47.976 stand by the other councils that are 01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:50.936 going to be standing with us to make 01:25:50.960 --> 01:25:53.960 sure that we can say no, we don't need 01:25:55.120 --> 01:25:58.120 this. the residents do not need any more 01:25:58.639 --> 01:26:01.416 bins put on their curb side because this 01:26:01.440 --> 01:26:03.816 doesn't bring any solutions. All it's 01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:05.655 going to do is cost us more money. So, 01:26:05.679 --> 01:26:07.576 thank you so much to the team that have 01:26:07.600 --> 01:26:09.175 put this report together. Thank you so 01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:11.175 much for the conversations that are 01:26:11.199 --> 01:26:14.199 happening with other councils and it's 01:26:14.239 --> 01:26:15.816 so cool when you start to see us all 01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:18.840 working together because you know what, 01:26:19.040 --> 01:26:22.040 more mouths and talking make a stronger 01:26:22.159 --> 01:26:25.096 voice to be able to be heard. So, um, 01:26:25.120 --> 01:26:26.856 thank you so much to Sam and her team 01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:29.736 and I really look forward to 01:26:29.760 --> 01:26:31.976 watching how we can get a better outcome 01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:33.736 from this. Thank you. 01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:35.175 Thank you, councelor O'Donnell, Council 01:26:35.199 --> 01:26:38.199 Agit. 01:26:39.120 --> 01:26:41.416 Thank you, Madame Mayor., thank you 01:26:41.440 --> 01:26:43.576 officers for putting together a 01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:46.296 comprehensive report reflecting what we 01:26:46.320 --> 01:26:48.296 hear in our communities every day. Our 01:26:48.320 --> 01:26:50.376 residents want to be able to recycle 01:26:50.400 --> 01:26:53.016 their wine and spirit bottles. they do 01:26:53.040 --> 01:26:56.040 not want to um incur additional cost in 01:26:58.320 --> 01:27:01.320 maintaining the fourth bin or the 01:27:02.159 --> 01:27:05.159 fifth bin for some households. Um so 01:27:05.280 --> 01:27:08.280 fully support um 01:27:08.480 --> 01:27:11.256 advocacy efforts to expand the um 01:27:11.280 --> 01:27:13.416 container recycling programs to include 01:27:13.440 --> 01:27:16.440 said items and um perhaps save our 01:27:17.679 --> 01:27:20.679 planet one one bottle at a time and 01:27:21.120 --> 01:27:23.655 um to ensure that City of Kingston rate 01:27:23.679 --> 01:27:25.896 payers and residents are not incurring 01:27:25.920 --> 01:27:28.056 any further costs that they didn't ask 01:27:28.080 --> 01:27:30.856 to incur. That is all. Thank you. 01:27:30.880 --> 01:27:32.376 Thank you councelor Agirtan. Any other 01:27:32.400 --> 01:27:34.776 counselors? Council 01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:37.800 Thenopoulos. 01:27:37.840 --> 01:27:39.576 Yeah, I'll concur with all the 01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:41.175 comments being made so far. I think that 01:27:41.199 --> 01:27:43.655 goes without saying. one thing that 01:27:43.679 --> 01:27:46.679 we do know is separation does help to 01:27:47.360 --> 01:27:49.896 repurpose as much waste as possible. So 01:27:49.920 --> 01:27:52.920 the intent behind separation is great. 01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:56.199 The logistics though have not been 01:27:57.199 --> 01:28:00.199 you know executed well in my view. 01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:03.239 um other options which have been 01:28:04.239 --> 01:28:05.976 presented in in this report, but you 01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:07.816 don't even have to just go into our 01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:09.336 report. You can look at examples all 01:28:09.360 --> 01:28:11.336 over the world where there are other 01:28:11.360 --> 01:28:13.416 ways of actually achieving the outcome 01:28:13.440 --> 01:28:14.856 that the government would like to 01:28:14.880 --> 01:28:16.135 achieve. And it's great that we've got 01:28:16.159 --> 01:28:18.536 other like-minded municipalities who 01:28:18.560 --> 01:28:21.175 probably will have even more ideas on 01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:24.056 how we can solve the issue of 01:28:24.080 --> 01:28:27.080 contaminated or mix u mingled um 01:28:27.679 --> 01:28:29.496 recycled bins and so on and so forth. 01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:32.520 So, um I fully support what's put before 01:28:33.040 --> 01:28:36.040 council and I think that um if we were 01:28:36.080 --> 01:28:37.576 together 01:28:37.600 --> 01:28:39.175 with the other councils and hopefully 01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:40.856 together with people within 01:28:40.880 --> 01:28:42.856 government or people running in this 01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:44.695 upcoming election come up with some 01:28:44.719 --> 01:28:47.175 ideas that might actually improve the 01:28:47.199 --> 01:28:50.199 outcome of achieve a day. Thanks. 01:28:50.480 --> 01:28:52.296 Thank you, Councelor Athanasopoulos. Councelor 01:28:52.320 --> 01:28:55.320 Hill. 01:28:55.679 --> 01:28:57.896 Yeah, thanks Mayor Oxley. And look, I 01:28:57.920 --> 01:28:59.655 think it's just important to note that 01:28:59.679 --> 01:29:02.679 the um the legislation 01:29:03.360 --> 01:29:06.360 regarding or that relates to the 01:29:06.400 --> 01:29:08.056 purple bin dates all the way back to 01:29:08.080 --> 01:29:11.080 2021. Um we've obviously subsequently 01:29:11.280 --> 01:29:14.280 had the um the container deposit 01:29:14.320 --> 01:29:16.776 scheme come on and that's been a huge 01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:19.800 success. So,, I think there was 01:29:20.080 --> 01:29:21.896 perhaps and and to councelor 01:29:21.920 --> 01:29:24.215 Athenosopouloolis's point, um, going 01:29:24.239 --> 01:29:26.135 back to 2021, 01:29:26.159 --> 01:29:29.016 um, there was a lot of contamination, 01:29:29.040 --> 01:29:31.736 , within our yellow bin from from 01:29:31.760 --> 01:29:34.760 broken glass and shards of glass,, 01:29:35.040 --> 01:29:37.336 rendering the contents of your yellow 01:29:37.360 --> 01:29:40.360 bin often, um, useless and and having to 01:29:41.040 --> 01:29:44.040 be put into landfill ultimately. But 01:29:44.560 --> 01:29:46.695 now, you know, getting down to the point 01:29:46.719 --> 01:29:48.615 where, you know, the the numbers in 01:29:48.639 --> 01:29:50.135 these in this report are really 01:29:50.159 --> 01:29:52.215 compelling. When you look at, you know, 01:29:52.239 --> 01:29:54.056 on average, our households only now 01:29:54.080 --> 01:29:55.576 producing somewhere in the region of 01:29:55.600 --> 01:29:58.600 3.25 kilos of glass rubbish a month. You 01:30:00.400 --> 01:30:02.215 know, it's it's really not very 01:30:02.239 --> 01:30:03.816 significant at all. And that's, you 01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:06.840 know, without furthering the CDS to 01:30:07.040 --> 01:30:09.016 potentially include um other bottles 01:30:09.040 --> 01:30:12.040 like wine bottles and spirit bottles. Um 01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:15.239 I I think there's you know you know more 01:30:15.440 --> 01:30:17.336 questions too when you when you talk 01:30:17.360 --> 01:30:20.360 about you know 65,000 bers costing 01:30:20.480 --> 01:30:23.480 costing in excess of 3.6 million um and 01:30:24.159 --> 01:30:26.856 that additional cost to residents as 01:30:26.880 --> 01:30:29.016 well for very little gain. Um we've got 01:30:29.040 --> 01:30:32.040 the I guess the understanding now 01:30:32.880 --> 01:30:35.496 that where the purple bin has been 01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:37.336 implemented there's very low pickup 01:30:37.360 --> 01:30:40.360 rates um by the trucks just because 01:30:40.560 --> 01:30:42.135 you know most houses aren't actually 01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:45.159 rolling out their purple bins. So I 01:30:45.679 --> 01:30:48.536 think it's it really brings into 01:30:48.560 --> 01:30:51.560 question the merits of the purple bin um 01:30:51.760 --> 01:30:54.296 at this current day. And I think 01:30:54.320 --> 01:30:56.615 there's there's you know very strong 01:30:56.639 --> 01:30:59.639 arguments for us to um you know come 01:31:00.400 --> 01:31:02.376 together with other councils and and 01:31:02.400 --> 01:31:05.016 look at other solutions that ultimately 01:31:05.040 --> 01:31:06.615 will most likely actually be more 01:31:06.639 --> 01:31:08.776 environmentally friendly than the 01:31:08.800 --> 01:31:10.856 introduction of a glass bin. So happy to 01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:12.376 support this. Thank you. 01:31:12.400 --> 01:31:13.896 Thank you councelor Hill. Any other 01:31:13.920 --> 01:31:16.920 counselors? 01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:20.199 Council Donald to close 01:31:21.040 --> 01:31:23.175 just briefly and thank you councelor 01:31:23.199 --> 01:31:24.776 Hill for pointing out those costs 01:31:24.800 --> 01:31:26.856 associated with rolling out the purple 01:31:26.880 --> 01:31:28.615 bins and that's just the bins on their 01:31:28.639 --> 01:31:31.639 own. Um I've heard some very creative 01:31:31.679 --> 01:31:33.655 stories of those in municipalities that 01:31:33.679 --> 01:31:36.376 currently do have their purple bins and 01:31:36.400 --> 01:31:38.456 they are being used for nearly 01:31:38.480 --> 01:31:41.175 everything else but putting out on the 01:31:41.199 --> 01:31:43.496 curb side once a month to pick up their 01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:45.496 bins. I have heard of one story where 01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:48.520 it's actually used to take the glass and 01:31:49.040 --> 01:31:52.040 the cans to the deposit collection 01:31:52.880 --> 01:31:55.175 space. So, yes, the bin's getting used, 01:31:55.199 --> 01:31:57.655 but not entirely what it's intended for 01:31:57.679 --> 01:31:59.336 and certainly doesn't have to come at a 01:31:59.360 --> 01:32:01.496 cost to rate payers of millions of 01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:03.976 dollars. So, thank you again everyone. 01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:05.336 Really great words from my fellow 01:32:05.360 --> 01:32:07.576 counselors. I respect everything that's 01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:09.976 said this evening and I will be 01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:11.655 supporting this recommendation from 01:32:11.679 --> 01:32:13.016 officers.

A seconder. 01:33:33.280 --> 01:33:35.336 Councelor Hill. 01:33:35.360 --> 01:33:36.936 Council SA. 01:33:36.960 --> 01:33:39.960 I'll reserve. Thank you. Council Hill. 01:33:44.800 --> 01:33:47.655 Yeah, thanks Madame Mayor. Um, look, the 01:33:47.679 --> 01:33:50.296 the policy just fills a gap by creating 01:33:50.320 --> 01:33:52.456 a clear local framework for how 01:33:52.480 --> 01:33:55.256 counselors request and communicate 01:33:55.280 --> 01:33:58.280 communicate leave,, ensuring everyone 01:33:58.800 --> 01:34:00.936 follows the same steps,, which which 01:34:00.960 --> 01:34:03.816 only seems right. um standardizes 01:34:03.840 --> 01:34:05.576 everything from simple meeting apologies 01:34:05.600 --> 01:34:08.135 to long-term absences, ensuring 01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:10.536 counselors remain accountable um to the 01:34:10.560 --> 01:34:12.536 community even when they're away. And 01:34:12.560 --> 01:34:14.695 finally, the the policy balances 01:34:14.719 --> 01:34:17.655 health and safety needs with transparent 01:34:17.679 --> 01:34:19.256 governance expected of public 01:34:19.280 --> 01:34:20.936 officials. So, it's all pretty 01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:22.376 straightforward. I'm happy to support. 01:34:22.400 --> 01:34:23.336 Thank you. 01:34:23.360 --> 01:34:26.360 Thank you.

Councelor O'Donnell, 01:34:41.120 --> 01:34:42.936 like to move that we defer. 01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:45.096 Defer this matter to the May 01:34:45.120 --> 01:34:46.135 to.

Councelor of reserve. Any other 01:34:58.880 --> 01:35:01.880 councils on the deferral? 01:35:03.520 --> 01:35:04.776 There being none, I will put the 01:35:04.800 --> 01:35:07.800 deferral to the vote. All those in favor 01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:12.135 that is councelor How, Councelor 01:35:12.159 --> 01:35:14.215 O'Donnell, councelor Athanasopoulos, 01:35:14.239 --> 01:35:16.296 councelor Agirtan, councelor Evanas, 01:35:16.320 --> 01:35:18.056 councelor Ashworth, Colette, councelor 01:35:18.080 --> 01:35:21.080 Hill, and myself. All those against 01:35:21.840 --> 01:35:24.840 councelor Sar and that is carried. 01:35:26.960 --> 01:35:29.416 We'll move to item 11.5, the revised 01:35:29.440 --> 01:35:31.016 council nomination in a state and 01:35:31.040 --> 01:35:33.896 federal election policy. Do I have a 01:35:33.920 --> 01:35:36.920 motion? 01:35:40.239 --> 01:35:42.536 Council Agirtan. Thank you. The office of 01:35:42.560 --> 01:35:45.560 recommendation. A seconder. 01:35:46.239 --> 01:35:48.456 Council of Athanasopoulos. Thank you. 01:35:48.480 --> 01:35:49.736 Council Agirtan, do you wish to speak to 01:35:49.760 --> 01:35:52.296 the motion? No. Reserve. Council of 01:35:52.320 --> 01:35:55.320 Athanasopoulos. 01:35:56.480 --> 01:35:59.480 just to summize, I I think it's 01:35:59.679 --> 01:36:01.416 important to note that I think it's 01:36:01.440 --> 01:36:02.456 pretty obvious for those that are 01:36:02.480 --> 01:36:03.976 keeping tabs. There's an election coming 01:36:04.000 --> 01:36:07.000 up later on this year. Um and there are 01:36:07.440 --> 01:36:10.440 elections that constantly occur. it's 01:36:10.960 --> 01:36:13.175 important that we we understand what 01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:15.816 what would govern us as councilors if 01:36:15.840 --> 01:36:18.056 we were to take those steps to want to 01:36:18.080 --> 01:36:19.976 nominate or be part of it. It does get a 01:36:20.000 --> 01:36:22.135 little bit tricky. Um, and depending on 01:36:22.159 --> 01:36:23.896 the comfort of the individual, they'll 01:36:23.920 --> 01:36:26.135 take an action that they they deem 01:36:26.159 --> 01:36:29.016 worthy or correct for them to to make 01:36:29.040 --> 01:36:32.040 sure that they take some time off. Um, 01:36:32.560 --> 01:36:35.096 however, this states out what's expected 01:36:35.120 --> 01:36:37.096 when it comes to the City of 01:36:37.120 --> 01:36:39.976 Kingston. Um, so it's really there for 01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:42.776 everyone to read. It's not overly um 01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:44.856 complicated. makes it very very clear 01:36:44.880 --> 01:36:47.016 what's expected and the timelines of 01:36:47.040 --> 01:36:49.976 when people would need to to take 01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:51.816 either leave and all those sorts of 01:36:51.840 --> 01:36:53.496 things. So I commend it and put it 01:36:53.520 --> 01:36:55.416 through the council group. 01:36:55.440 --> 01:36:57.016 Thank you councelor Athanasopoulos. Are 01:36:57.040 --> 01:37:00.040 there any other councils on this matter? 01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:03.880 Just briefly um I don't want this to 01:37:04.080 --> 01:37:07.080 deter any councilors from future 01:37:07.280 --> 01:37:10.280 ambitions or feel the need to run in any 01:37:11.040 --> 01:37:13.576 state or federal election. um should 01:37:13.600 --> 01:37:16.135 they feel that that's where they wish to 01:37:16.159 --> 01:37:18.536 go. So, 01:37:18.560 --> 01:37:21.256 it's a policy at a at a Kingston based 01:37:21.280 --> 01:37:23.336 level. There are 01:37:23.360 --> 01:37:24.536 things in place with the local 01:37:24.560 --> 01:37:26.695 government act um that we have to 01:37:26.719 --> 01:37:29.016 respect, but I don't want any other 01:37:29.040 --> 01:37:30.776 counselor to feel that they don't have 01:37:30.800 --> 01:37:32.536 the opportunity to run in a state and 01:37:32.560 --> 01:37:34.856 federal election should that be where 01:37:34.880 --> 01:37:36.615 they choose to go. 01:37:36.639 --> 01:37:39.175 Thank you, Councelor O'Donnell. If 01:37:39.199 --> 01:37:41.976 there's no other counselors, 01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:43.576 I will put that to the vote. All those 01:37:43.600 --> 01:37:45.576 in favor, 01:37:45.600 --> 01:37:47.496 that is councelor How, Councelor 01:37:47.520 --> 01:37:49.655 O'Donnell, councelor Athanasopoulos, 01:37:49.679 --> 01:37:51.576 councelor Agirtan, councelor Ashworth, 01:37:51.600 --> 01:37:53.736 Colette, councelor Hill, councelor Sab, 01:37:53.760 --> 01:37:56.760 and myself. All those against and 01:37:56.880 --> 01:37:59.736 abstaining, councelor Revanus and that 01:37:59.760 --> 01:38:01.816 is carried. 01:38:01.840 --> 01:38:04.376 We'll move to item 11.6, the governance 01:38:04.400 --> 01:38:07.400 and compliance report. Council O'Donnell 01:38:07.760 --> 01:38:10.056 an amended motion 01:38:10.080 --> 01:38:13.080 please. 01:38:15.520 --> 01:38:18.520 So that is a deferral of two. So the 01:38:18.960 --> 01:38:20.776 rest as it appears. 01:38:20.800 --> 01:38:21.256 Yes. 01:38:21.280 --> 01:38:24.280 And then defer 2 to the June 01:39:12.800 --> 01:39:15.256 Do I have a seconder? 01:39:15.280 --> 01:39:18.280 Council Agirtan. Thank you. 01:39:18.960 --> 01:39:20.776 Council O'Donnell. 01:39:20.800 --> 01:39:22.936 Just 01:39:22.960 --> 01:39:25.960 not just quickly. Um 01:39:27.199 --> 01:39:29.496 the reason for the deferral on point two 01:39:29.520 --> 01:39:32.520 is we are yet to vote for the budget 01:39:32.800 --> 01:39:35.175 until 01:39:35.199 --> 01:39:38.135 um next month if I'm correct. So hence 01:39:38.159 --> 01:39:41.159 why the deferral because let's make sure 01:39:41.280 --> 01:39:44.280 we have a budget first before we vote on 01:39:44.480 --> 01:39:47.480 something. Thank you. 01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:51.000 Thank you.

Is that 01:41:02.560 --> 01:41:04.376 okay? Or you'd prefer to have it in the 01:41:04.400 --> 01:41:07.336 actual 01:41:07.360 --> 01:41:10.360 Okay.

Are there any other speakers 01:53:51.040 --> 01:53:54.040 to this matter? 01:53:56.239 --> 01:53:57.976 There being none, council sa, do you 01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:01.000 wish to close? 01:54:02.639 --> 01:54:05.639 Just really briefly, 01:54:05.679 --> 01:54:08.296 I think my counselor colleagues fully 01:54:08.320 --> 01:54:09.736 understand the current climate and 01:54:09.760 --> 01:54:11.816 environment that the world is in right 01:54:11.840 --> 01:54:14.376 now and it calls for leadership from all 01:54:14.400 --> 01:54:16.456 walks of life from people from local to 01:54:16.480 --> 01:54:18.936 state to federal to come together and 01:54:18.960 --> 01:54:20.456 understand and acknowledge that there is 01:54:20.480 --> 01:54:21.976 a lot of hurt at the moment. There is a 01:54:22.000 --> 01:54:25.000 lot of concern. Um there is a whole 01:54:25.119 --> 01:54:27.575 range of issues that are globally are 01:54:27.599 --> 01:54:28.776 happening across the world but they're 01:54:28.800 --> 01:54:30.215 affecting us here locally and we're 01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:32.615 seeing that in things such as even just 01:54:32.639 --> 01:54:35.639 our fuel costs. Um but I think further 01:54:35.679 --> 01:54:37.095 than that I think it's really important 01:54:37.119 --> 01:54:38.615 to understand when we look at a local 01:54:38.639 --> 01:54:39.976 level that there are members of our 01:54:40.000 --> 01:54:42.296 community that are feeling particularly 01:54:42.320 --> 01:54:44.135 like they don't belong that they don't 01:54:44.159 --> 01:54:46.056 feel like they are welcome here. and 01:54:46.080 --> 01:54:47.816 I think this motion will go a really 01:54:47.840 --> 01:54:50.376 long way um in actually demonstrating 01:54:50.400 --> 01:54:51.816 and especially when the report comes 01:54:51.840 --> 01:54:54.456 back and the opportunities for what 01:54:54.480 --> 01:54:57.336 could exist to support them further um 01:54:57.360 --> 01:54:59.336 and what we can do as a council to to 01:54:59.360 --> 01:55:01.175 actually show leadership in this space. 01:55:01.199 --> 01:55:03.496 Um I know other councils such as 01:55:03.520 --> 01:55:05.175 Glenra have done something a bit more 01:55:05.199 --> 01:55:06.695 involved with in a partnership with 01:55:06.719 --> 01:55:07.976 state government around work around 01:55:08.000 --> 01:55:10.135 social cohesion and I'd really encourage 01:55:10.159 --> 01:55:11.896 our council to work alongside them. I 01:55:11.920 --> 01:55:13.256 know they reached out to us last year 01:55:13.280 --> 01:55:15.175 when that motion was first adopted. Um, 01:55:15.199 --> 01:55:17.016 and this is kind of where this was born 01:55:17.040 --> 01:55:19.896 from. But I do really thank my councelor 01:55:19.920 --> 01:55:21.575 colleagues for their amendments. I think 01:55:21.599 --> 01:55:24.135 they're good a good amendments. They 01:55:24.159 --> 01:55:26.135 were necessary., and I appreciate 01:55:26.159 --> 01:55:28.776 the, um, full comprehensive 01:55:28.800 --> 01:55:30.296 conversations and consultation that 01:55:30.320 --> 01:55:32.296 we've had to date to get here. Um, I 01:55:32.320 --> 01:55:33.575 also just wanted to acknowledge Susan 01:55:33.599 --> 01:55:35.736 Kosh and Kate Waters for um, a lot of 01:55:35.760 --> 01:55:37.016 the work and effort that I know went 01:55:37.040 --> 01:55:38.215 behind the scenes and trying to engage 01:55:38.239 --> 01:55:39.976 with community to get to this point. Um 01:55:40.000 --> 01:55:42.056 and I really do hope that this does get 01:55:42.080 --> 01:55:44.056 resolved and I I really do hope we can 01:55:44.080 --> 01:55:45.575 kind of start working on remending some 01:55:45.599 --> 01:55:47.256 of the relationships with um our 01:55:47.280 --> 01:55:48.456 interfaith and multicultural 01:55:48.480 --> 01:55:50.456 communities.
