So, we've got those all 00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:46.295 voted. 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.319 So, we're up to public question time. 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.215 Public question time is allocated at the 00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:53.896 start of the meeting before formal 00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:56.920 agenda by council. Questions must be 00:03:56.959 --> 00:03:59.096 submitted in writing to council by 10:00 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.120 a.m. the day of the council meeting. 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.360 Um the first question we have tonight is 00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:09.640 um from Brian Basham of Horsham. 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.840 What assurance has HRCC attained from 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.976 Vic roads that the Horsham hedges at 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.735 the new roundabout works will be 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.759 retained and undamaged? 00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:23.576 The response is from John Martin, 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.376 director from or infrastructure. Thanks 00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:28.455 Mr. Acting May. The Department of 00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:30.615 Transport and Planning who is delivering 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.016 the Horsham Junction roundabout project 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.536 has advised that the hedge is not 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.416 directly impacted by the works. However, 00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:40.376 the visual alignment or orientation of 00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:43.175 the hedge will not be effective as it 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.776 will be near one edge of the roundabout 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.576 rather than in a prime location. 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.735 Additionally, ongoing maintenance will 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.256 be hampered by the proximity of the 00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:53.256 traffic lanes to the location of the 00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:55.256 hedge requiring extensive traffic 00:04:55.280 --> 00:04:57.816 management to ensure staff safety. This 00:04:57.840 --> 00:04:59.416 would be a major impact on through 00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:02.056 traffic and is not practical. On the 00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:03.656 completion of the works, council will be 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.496 able to review the location of the hedge 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:07.895 and consider an appropriate position and 00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:10.696 alignment in conjunction with DTP to 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.216 ensure appropriate safety for the 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.376 modified intersection. 00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:15.976 To me, it's worth noting that the hedge 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:17.735 was regrown following the Millennium 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.759 drought in about 2011 and with a 00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:22.455 different species at that time. So, 00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:24.455 regrowing the hedge should be quite 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:27.479 straightforward. Thank you. 00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:31.015 Um the next public question is from 00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:33.976 Robin Bane of Long. 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.895 A diverse range of investment ready 00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:37.576 projects have been created in 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.976 collaboration with the community. Please 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.536 describe to the community the asset 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.536 assessment process and selection 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.336 criteria for the recent sport and 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.576 recreation grant application and the 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.536 election priority list and explain why 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.416 though these projects were chosen over 00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:58.440 all others. response from um GAP CEO. 00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:02.376 Thanks.

Um, look, the 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.776 council's undertaken an extensive review 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.800 of the advocacy priorities and 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.216 investment ready projects adopted by the 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.295 previous council and will maintain a 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.615 focus on many of these, albeit with the 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.015 inclusion of updated information and or 00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:21.976 revised advocacy approach. Council's 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.295 approach is also informed by and 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.216 reflective of the responses received to 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.536 the consultation recently undertaken in 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:29.895 relation to the revision of the 00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:32.696 community vision and also development of 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.720 the council plan 2025 to 2029 where we 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.536 can over 400 members of the community 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.216 share their aspirations for the 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.615 municipality's future. In relation to 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.295 the election priority list, these 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.536 projects were selected as outlined in 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.496 the associated media release which we 00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:51.175 released at the time which stated that 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.895 these upgrades and revitalization works 00:06:53.919 --> 00:06:55.976 represent projects of significance to 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.455 our community security. The council's 00:06:58.479 --> 00:06:59.895 commitment to meeting infrastructure 00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:02.056 needs and to transforming community 00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:04.376 spaces and facilities and specific 00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:06.216 details for each of the key election 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:07.816 funding projects are outlined in the 00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:09.656 media release and that's available on 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.056 council's website. 00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:13.015 Thank you. 00:07:13.039 --> 00:07:16.039 Thank you. Um um Robin's second question 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.680 is on behalf of a group of year 4 00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:23.175 students when will council build more 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.816 basketball courts? The response again is 00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:27.976 from Gat CEO. 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.056 Thanks Mayor. thanks again Robin for 00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:32.376 your second question. 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:34.295 remains committed to exploring 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:35.895 opportunities to enhance sporting 00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:37.816 facilities within the municipality, 00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:39.816 including basketball courts as the 00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:42.776 previous council. As you would be aware, 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.696 unfortunately, there is no definitive 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.536 time frame for major projects because 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.295 they're subject to funding and other 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.656 considerations due to their 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.976 multi-million dollar costs, so need to 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.976 be supported and supplemented through 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.056 investment by other parties and levels 00:07:56.080 --> 00:07:58.936 of government.

Um, I also believe it's 00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:26.935 worth noting that some of our targets 00:09:26.959 --> 00:09:29.815 were set during the budget process and 00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:31.976 our actuals from last year have exceeded 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.000 that. So, the numbers may not match, but 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.776 we are still aiming to always be 00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:38.536 improving. 00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:40.696 Thank you.

Um, as an animal 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:25.176 lover, I know how much pets can 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.856 enrich our lives and how important they 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:29.176 are to us, but I'm also quite aware of 00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.616 the stress and angst they can cause 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:32.135 neighbors or other people within the 00:28:32.159 --> 00:28:34.216 area if they're not managed properly. As 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.240 a council, we're required to um prepare 00:28:37.760 --> 00:28:39.736 this document and have it submitted 00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:42.296 every four years. This plan has been 00:28:42.320 --> 00:28:43.736 done with significant community 00:28:43.760 --> 00:28:45.895 consultation and feedback and I'd 00:28:45.919 --> 00:28:47.336 encourage people to have a bit of a read 00:28:47.360 --> 00:28:48.936 to ensure they understand the 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:51.176 responsibilities of pet ownership, many 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:52.775 of which are set by other levels of 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.576 government but enforced by council. 00:28:55.600 --> 00:28:57.096 in there there's also services and 00:28:57.120 --> 00:28:59.015 programs that are offered to make those 00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:00.856 responsibilities as easy as we're able 00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:02.936 to make them. , one of the new 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.096 initiatives in this plan that I'm a bit 00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:08.120 excited about is the bike patrols um for 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.616 the walking and bike paths to in order 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.696 to cover more area and be more time 00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:14.456 efficient. Hopefully, this will lead to 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:16.296 a greater compliance for on leash 00:29:16.320 --> 00:29:17.655 requirements and cleaning up after 00:29:17.679 --> 00:29:19.176 animals making it much nicer for 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:20.535 everyone. 00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:22.936 Thank you. 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:24.936 Are there any councilors wish to speak 00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.960 against the motion? 00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:29.976 Are there any councilors that wish to 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.135 speak for the motion?
