A
H
Life
of
work,
ethics,
Duty
and
faith
Our
Queen,
Elizabeth
II,
is
expired
exploration,
examples
of
delegations
and
service
to
a
country
and
a
commonwealth.
Her
Devotion
to
honor
her
pledge
to
serve
other
people
over
to
70
years
demonstrate
their
strength
and
selflessness.
I
would
like
to
pass
from
condones
to
the
restaurant
royal
family.
May
she
rest
in
peace,
Our,
Queen,
Is,
Dead,
long
live
the
king.
I
E
We've
heard
a
lot
about
her,
especially
since
her
passing
as
a
queen
as
a
mother
and
a
grandmother.
One
of
her
quotes
that
struck
me
is
grief,
is
the
price
we
pay
for
love.
Love
was
at
the
center
of
her
being
in
whatever
she
did.
She
was
devoted
to
her
loving
service,
which
she
carried
out
with
dignity
and
Grace.
As
the
Archbishop
of
country
Canterbury
said,
during
the
funeral
service,
the
grief
felt
across
the
world
arises
from
the
Queen's
Abundant
Life
and
loving
service
now
gone
from
us.
Thank
you,
your
majesty,
for
your
loving
service.
A
J
J
Of
course
didn't
answer
back,
but
but
it
was
just
just
amazing
that
she
she
ended
up
meeting
so
many
people
and
we
have
a
very
proud
photo
at
home
of
of
the
queen
Prince
Philip
talking
to
our
two-year-old
son
of
the
little
story,
it's
opening.
So
again
it
was
an
incredible
thing
that
she
did
so
many
things
across
her
life
that
were
so
important
to
a
whole
lot
of
people.
So
again
we
acknowledge
that
tremendous
work
she
has
done.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
A
Speak
on
the
motion.
Yes,
please
thank
you
on
behalf
of
Burbank
City
Council
I
would
like
to
congratulate
Emily
Nguyen,
who
is
a
15
year
old
young
lady
who
lives
in
brimbank,
who
has
recently
been
selected
to

Australia
at
the
junior
world
karate
championships
in
Kanye
turkey
and
to
qualify
selection.
A
All
gold
medals
Emily
is
currently
in
year,
10
at
the
MC
Robinson
girls
high
school,
and
she
has
been
training
in
karate,
since
she
was
five
and
a
half
years
old
and
she
started
comparing
when
she
was
eight
and
over
the
years
she
has
won.
Many
competitions
and
her
goal
would
be
to
represent
Australia
at
the
world.
Championships
is
absolutely
amazing
that
we
have
this.
This
young
woman
living
in
brimbank,
that
is
now
Australia
representing
Australia
in
Karate.
In
the
world,
so
congratulations
to
Emily
Nguyen
on
representing
Australia.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
would
also
like
to
join
the
mayor
in
the
congratulating
emlin
Ewing
on
being
selected
to
represent
Australia
at
the
junior
world
karate
championships
in
Konya
and
turkey.
I
would
also
like
to
congratulate
her
on
her
achievements
so
far,
and
this
representation
is
quite
an
achievement
in
itself.
Irrespective
of
the
outcome,
you
are
ready
and
achiever
and
I
want
to
wish
you
all
the
very,
very
best
in
these
championships.
Thank
you.
F
K
A
You
Deputy,
Mayor
old
out,
resumed
cheering
and
yeah.
It's
a
great
honor
for,
for
you
know,
to
have
Emily,
come
from
brimb
bank
and
once
again
represent
Australia,
and
if
you
want
to
find
more
information
about
it,
you
can
look
at
the
karate
australia.org.eu
website
and
if
you
want
to
support
her
financially
on
her
journey
to
the
World
Championships,
she
also
has
a
GoFundMe
as
well
now
Mrs,
Sakurai
I
understand.
We
have
received
some
questions
from
them
as
a
public.
L
A
L
Thank
you,
madam.
The
third
question
is
from
Desi
Marin,
who
asks?
Are
there
any
plans
to
upgrade
Familia
Drive
Reserve,
given
that
the
Lakes
Reserve
Flagship
park
has
been
recently
upgraded,
Familia
Drive
Reserve
is
a
large
area
and
has
a
capacity
and
potential
to
provide
the
same
enjoyment
to
many
residents
and
their
families.
A
Merely
a
drive
Reserve
is
classified
as
a
neighborhood
park
on
the
councils,
creating
better
Parks
policy
and
plan
and
was
upgraded
between
2014
to
2017,
the
new
playground,
basketball
court
and
extensive
tree
planting
consistent
with
a
neighborhood
park.
At
this
stage
there
are
currently
no
further
plans
for
improvements
at
the
Premier
Drive
Reserve.
A
Council
has
undertook
extensive
Community
consultation
as
part
of
the
development,
an
ongoing
review
of
councils,
creating
better
Parks
policy
and
plan
to
ensure
Community
views
are
considered.
Council
also
undertakes
Community
consultation
on
Park
upgrades
improvements.
Potential
community
members,
including
any
Community
groups,
have
an
opportunity
for
import.
L
The
next
question
is
from
Jamie
Ramsey
matamor,
who
asks
we
have
seen.
The
state
Liberal
Party
announced
10
million
dollars
in
new
funding
for
The
brimbank
Aquatic
and
Leisure
Center.
If
elected
at
the
upcoming
state
election.
Can
this
Council
advise
if
any
commitment
has
been
provided
by
the
current
sitting,
State
MP
for
Saint
Albans
to
match
the
funding
commitment
promised
by
the
state
opposition.
L
The
next
question,
also
from
Mr
Jamie
Ramsey
Madam
mayor,
is
a
lot
of
people,
and
businesses
have
seen
Council
rates
increase
at
a
time
when
they
can
least
afford
it,
with
cost
of
living
pressures,
increased
interest
rates
and
lingering
downturn
post
covert.
Will
the
mayor
now
deliver
on
her
campaign
pledge
to
waive
rates
for
those
that
need
that
most
need?
It.
A
A
Currently,
no
petitions
and
there
are
no
minutes
of
delegated
committees.
There
are
nine
officer
reports
for
consideration
by
council
tonight
before
we
consider
reporting
13.1,
which
is
the
governance
report.
I
would
like
to
invite
Mr,
Chef
Harry
chair
or
the
audit
and
risk
committee
to
address
the
council
and
provide
an
update
on
behalf
of
the
committee.
A
H
A
A
A
A
H
The
motion,
the
notes
of
motion
I'll
bring
to
the
chamber
this
evening
is
request
from
the
VCA
a
non
not-for-profit
organization
that
deliver
charity
events,
home
care
service
for
Elder's
and
disabled.
They
do
cultures,
prop
programs
to
various
community
service.
The
group
established
their
Community
Center
in
brimbank
and
seek
your
understanding
and
consideration
under
compression
of
the
ground,
I
like
to
make
this
clear
that
this
motion
is
not
asking
Council
to
weigh
the
principal
rates
or
waiving
the
installment
interest
that
has
to
incur
these
some
are
being
met
by
the
VCA.
H
These
volunteer
groups
like
The
VCA,
are
valuable
groups
because
they
take
up
and
deliver
service
to
those
that
form
in
between
the
cracks
to
those
who
require
individuals
or
extra
attention
and
to
those
you
simply
don't
make
the
condition
needed
to
obtain
various
government.
Estate
Services,
the
VCA,
with
its
empathy
and
compassion
mortality,
has
taken
on
this
role.
It
is
an
enormous
task
by
any
definition.
Unfortunately,
funds
and
grants
don't
always
meet.
The
demand.
H
H
Any
fund
Rising
additional
operation
fund
during
those
years
were
put
into
subsidizing
these
community
services.
This
is
the
reasons
why
they're
behind
their
rights
and
charges
in
recent
time,
we're
structuring
a
new
community
sort
of
vci's
directions
is
to
fulfilled
application.
We
cancel
debts
in
the
past
few
years,
not
including
covert
lockdown
vcas
have
some
has
fundraise
and
paid
back
over
75
percent
of
the
debts.
Unfortunately
doing
so,
the
extensive
list
of
program
serversed
to
our
community
is
not
getting
meat
and
at
the
attention
they're
needed.
It
is
the
most
disadvantage
in
our
community.
H
That's
required
a
service
and
they
are
the
victims
counselors.
My
submission
to
you
today
is
that
when
you
deliver
your
decision,
I
ask
you
not
to
think
about
the
most
or
wave
you're,
probably
interest
for
a
non-profit
organization,
but
rather
ask
yourself
when
you're
delivering,
who
will
really
benefit
from
this
decision,
because
every
dollar
is
safe.
On
this
volunteers
group
is
a
dollar
going
back
to
our
community
in
more
way
than
one
food
as
Services
food
is
supplements,
food
assistance
and
food
that
need
all
daughters
needed
people
as
Council.
H
We
consistently
brainstorms
to
find
ways
to
meet
and
meet
the
people's
need
and
fund
services
and
prior
to
assist
the
community.
Here
we've
got
the
VCA
an
established
body
in
place
to
assist
out
its
residents
and
help
those
less
fortunate
Community.
They
are
here
because
they
recognize
they
need
our
help.
They're
exhaustive,
on
fundraising
activities
will
feel
the
debt
obligation
to
us
and
if
they
continue
any
further
for
extended
period
of
time
without
Council
intervention
would
greatly
affect
the
service
and
program
in
any
end
result
who
suffer
our
community.
H
I
Thank
you,
Deputy
Mayor,
yes,
I'd
just
like
to
say
a
couple
of
words:
I
think
councilor
Lou
has
covered
most
of
it,
but
as
a
non-for-profit
organization,
the
Vietnamese
Community
Association
of
Australia
has
been
an
avid
contributor
to
the
bring
bank
community
supporting
many
local
charities
and
the
most
disadvantaged
in
our
community.
I
therefore
support
this
motion
to
wave
the
entire
penalty
interest
amount.
Thank
you.
J
J
I
I
think
I've
heard
Lots
from
the
councilors
in
the
community
about
the
good
work
that
this
group
does
and
to
have
led
into
this
circumstance
is
most
unfortunate
and
we,
probably,
as
a
council,
should
have
been
a
bit
more
active
in
this
area
to
sort
that
help
them
sort
these
issues
out,
but
they
shouldn't
be
penalized.
This
way,
this
money,
as
suggested
by
Council,
should
be
going
back
into
the
helping.
J
F
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
completely
support
the
words
of
counselor
Lou.
The
Vietnamese
community
in
Australia,
Victoria
chapter
has
done
so
much
for
our
community
here
in
brimbank
and
Far
Beyond
I
ran
for
Council
to
support
my
community,
especially
Community
groups
that
are
so
giving
and
have
done
so
much
to
help.
F
Those
around
us
understand
how
difficult
this
last
couple
of
years
have
been
for
everyone
and
I
think
that
VCA
for
all
their
hard
work
during
such
an
unprecedented
time,
I
want
VCA
to
know
that
so
many
residents
of
our
community
appreciate
your
work,
and
that
is
why
I
will
support
councilor
lose
motion.
Thank
you.
M
E
Thinking
about
this
motion,
first
of
all,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
charity
work
that
the
VCA
does,
as
well
as
the
various
community
services
that
it
provides.
However,
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
motion.
Council
has
been
working
with
this
organization
for
quite
a
few
years.
It
has
been
on
financial
hardship
since
2010
19
and
no
interest
has
been
charged.
E
In
addition,
a
payment
plan
was
entered
into
on
the
10th
of
January
2020,
with
annual
payments
of
ten
thousand
dollars
spread
over
the
four
accounts,
five
five
thousand
to
be
paid
in
January
and
July.
Each
year
on
May,
the
29
2020
go
with
hearty
payment.
The
federal
was
granted
for
all
accounts
on
the
6th
of
August
2021
Financial
hardship
was
granted
based
on
the
same
payment
plan
of
ten
thousand
dollars
into
in
August
2022.
E
Considering
the
fact
that
the
VCA
owns
four
properties
in
North
sunshine,
The,
Current,
financial,
financial
situation
with
brimbank
goes
beyond
compassion.
If
it
was
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
support
it.
Rules
and
regulations
are
there
to
ensure
equity
and
fairness.
Other
members
of
the
community
are
more
or
less
in
similar
situation
and
are
required
to
pay
dependency
interest.
E
This
motion
will
set
a
precedent,
something
which
Council
can't
afford
to
do.
Finally,
during
our
induction,
as
counselors
I,
remember
very
clearly
being
told
that
our
decisions
in
the
chamber
need
to
be
made
for
the
best
interest
of
the
whole
community
and
not
for
a
subgroup
of
the
population.
This
is
also
enshrined
in
the
Local
Government
Act
of
2020..
D
Thank
you.
I
also
would
like
to
speak
against
the
merchant
and
I
do
acknowledge
the
work
done
in
the
community
by
the
VCA
about
40
minutes
ago.
I
took
an
oath
that
I
will
act
in
the
best
interest
of
the
brimbank
community
as
a
whole
and
consider
the
immediate
and
long-term
impacts
of
my
decisions.
I
would
make
decisions
fairly
and
without
bias,
and
in
this
situation
I
do
agree
that
we
will
be
setting
a
precedent.
It's
not
that
I
don't
support
the
waiver,
it's
just
I'm,
not
confident.
D
This
is
the
appropriate
Forum
to
consider
that
waiver
I
think
you
know
there
are
alternative
options
to
go
through
and
I
think
you
know
we
are
awake
rate
capped
organization
and
we
are
taking
away
from
the
whole
Community
to
provide
that
there
are
plenty
of
people
in
this
situation,
and
you
know
we
have
to
consider
all
of
those
people.
If
we
can,
we
consider
this
one.
Thank
you.
H
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
in-depth
outline
of
an
occupavement
through
the
covert
as
hardship
power
of
council
ball,
as
most
organizations
did
receive
that
what
the
waiver
here
is
seeking
not
between
the
covert
figures,
basically
that
seeking
on
compassionate
Crown
less
than
2D
charity
work.
They've
done
and
let
me
outline
what
they're
doing
they're,
not
just
for
the
Vietnamese.
Can
regroup
they'll
be
in
mind
you
before
doing
the
Bushfire
before
covert
these
got
a
group
that
actually
organized
food
and
went
all
the
way
up
to
gippsland.
H
Gippsland
must
say
other
side
of
the
state
to
kill
all
this
bill
burned
down
and
did
a
refuge
and
during
lockdown
days
of
the
group
that
actually
organized
food
for
all
those
high-rise
flat
people
residents,
whether
they're
Australians
Indonesians,
whatever
they
were
out
there
every
day
it
came
to
food
package,
so
there's
no
discrimination
to
what
a
single
group.
These
organizations
help
not
only
our
community
but
every
community
in
Victoria.
So
let
me
explain
to
that
detail
lesson.
There's
very
organizations
Listen
to
As
much
as
this
one.
H
H
Actually
here
because
they
support
these
PCA,
so
that's
for
the
background,
and
this
one
over
here
is
seeking
your
compassion
ground,
not
because
it
does
that
person.
That's
why
we're
here
every
time
someone
else
away
about
a
decision.
Emotion,
that's
our
job!
We
decide
on
each
one.
Each
one
is
separate,
there's
no
question,
it's
one
individuals
separately
and
we
charge
it
on
their
Merit.
Thank
you.
K
K
B
B
A
Will
now
resume
on
me?
Thank
you,
Council
Deputy
May
dang
for
for
cheering.
There
are
no
minutes
of
delegate
committees.
Well
now,
Revive
on
to
the
nine
officer
reports
for
consideration
by
council
tonight
before
we
consider
report
13.1,
the
government's
report
I
would
like
to
invite
Mr,
Jeff
Harry,
chair
of
the
audit
and
risk
committee,
to
address
the
council
and
provide
an
update
on
behalf
of
the
committee.
N
N
N
N
Look
I'm
not
going
to
talk
to
all
of
my
slides
I've
made
some
notes.
It's
got
given
us
a
structure.
The
agenda
looks
far
more
forbidding
than
it
is
because
I'm
not
going
to
talk
to
all
of
those
points,
but
given
that
you
are
considering
the
annual
financial
report,
the
annual
performance
statement
this
evening-
and
you
will
receive
also
a
report
from
the
committee
in
regards
through
the
CEO
regarding
the
committee's
self-assessment
of
its
performance
for
the
year,
it
seemed
to
me
that
this
was
really
good
timing
touch
on
these
things.
N
Briefly,
so
turning
the
page,
the
first
slide
is
just
a
reminder
of
what
the
audit
and
risk
committee
does.
You
probably
all
know
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
remind
you
about
the
sorts
of
things
that
we
do
look
at
and
just
down
the
bottom.
There
I
note
also
that
we
do
look
closely
at
the
Integrity
agency
reports,
because
there
are
lots
of
them
and
they're
always
challenging
issues
raised
in
those
reports.
N
N
Conflicts
of
interest
at
the
beginning
of
each
meeting
really
do
we
have
any
problems
or
anyone
able
in
needing
to
to
raise
an
issue
so
I
think
in
the
year
that
was
just
completed,
there
were
no
conflicts
of
interest
and
then
on
the
next
slide.
I've
just
indicated,
there's
been
a
few
changes
of
membership
of
the
committee
during
the
year.
N
N
We
enjoy
excellent
officer,
support
I,
I
I'm
involved
in
a
number
of
audit
committees
around
the
state
of
Victoria,
and
this
is
a
critical
point
to
ensure
that
the
the
committee
is
successful,
and
so
we
know
that
officers
spend
a
lot
of
time,
preparing
papers
and
presenting
for
us.
We
really
appreciate
that
and
we
also
receive
excellent
support
from
the
CEO.
N
So
I've
just
noted
some
key
points
at
the
bottom
of
that
slide
about
the
things
that
might
be
notable
to
councilors
for
the
year.
That's
just
ended,
so
turning
now
to
the
the
reason,
I
guess
why
I'm
here
tonight
it's
about
the
annual
reporting
obligations
that
Council
has
whereby
I
think
tonight
you'll
be
asked
to
resolve
in
principle
that
you
will
approve
the
annual
financial
report
and
the
annual
performance
statement.
These
are
documents
that
have
been
around
for
a
long
time.
N
They
can
be
rather
boring,
but
they're,
important,
and
so
the
process
about
in
principle,
I
think
demonstrates
the
fact
that,
even
though
you
may
endorse
them
and
approve
them
tonight,
because
sometimes
the
audit
process
is
not
complete
in
the
sense
of
there
might
be
minor
adjustments.
I,
don't
think
that's
an
issue
here
tonight
because
everything
has
been
completed,
and
the
other
point
to
note
is
that
this
information
gets
on
to
know
your
Council
website,
which
is
something
that
draws
a
lot
of
attention
from
time
to
time.
N
N
We've
noted.
The
recommendations
by
the
auditor
he's
made
some
recommendations
about
minor
points
of
improvement
that
we'll
consider
over
the
next
year
and
he's
also
indicated
that
he
will
be
providing
a
clean,
ordered
opinion.
So
he'll
be
saying
the
accounts
and
the
performance
statement
are
true
and
fair.
That's
an
important
Point,
even
though
qualifications
of
those
documents
are
quite
rare,
but
you
don't
want
to
have
one.
N
Okay,
so
next
slide
just
a
quick
one
there
on
how
the
process
went.
We
had
a
new
auditor
new
external
auditor
this
year
as
agent
of
the
auditor
general
hlb
man
Judd,
and
we
engaged
with
them.
I
think
the
audit
process
was
more
robust
than
it
was
the
previous
year
pleasingly.
There
were
very
few
requested
changes
by
the
Auditors
to
the
financial
statements,
which
indicates
that
what
was
presented
by
the
finance
team
stood
the
test
and
and
obviously
was
good
quality.
So
we
were
pleased
to
see
that.
N
And
then
on
slide
six
I'm,
just
reminding
you
of
the
other
things
again
that
we
do.
We
didn't
consider
that
at
our
last
meeting
we
didn't
consider
these
things
at
our
last
meeting,
because
we're
focused
on
the
financial
statements
so
slide
sticks
is
a
really
a
bit
of
an
advertisement
for
what
we
do
around
the
rest
of
the
year
on
on
the
next
slide
on
risk
management,
I'm
just
showing
you
there,
the
sorts
of
things
that
we
have
considered
and
discussed
during
the
year.
N
The
other
matters
on
this
page,
the
first
six
items,
are
all
fairly
standard.
We
look
at
them
during
our
the
year,
based
on
our
plan
of
attack
just
quickly.
The
next
slide
shows
you
what
the
internal
audit
Focus
for
the
year
was,
and
you
can
see
that
there
were
four
reviews
completed
by
our
new
internal
Auditors.
Some
of
those
reviews,
you
would
probably
think,
are
rather
contentious
issues,
others,
perhaps
not
so
so,
there's
a
mix
of
finance
and
and
broader
issues.
N
The
next
slide
is
about
just
more
broadly
the
control
environment,
which
is
the
the
thing
that
really
determines
how
strongly
council
is
managed
in
terms
of
its
Financial
controls.
There's
four
points
there
that
we
focused
on
during
the
year:
they're
they're,
fairly
standard
items,
but
I
will
say
that
the
committee
has
probably
shown
a
stronger
light
on
point.
N
Delivery
of
capital
expenditure
program
by
all
councils
is
a
huge
issue,
so
that
will
continue
to
be
so
I
think
for
a
few
years,
we've
also
looked
at
compliance.
I
won't
touch
on
those
points.
I
think
you'll
all
be
aware
of
the
sorts
of
things
that
are
in
there,
but
we
do
look
at
compliance
every
meeting
and
then
the
next
slide
deals
with
the
committee's
own
performance
later
tonight.
You
will
receive
a
report
on
the
outcomes
of
the
survey
that
we
did.
N
It
was
performed
as
a
self-assessment
survey,
so
we
assessed
our
own
performance
as
a
group
not
individually,
and
you
will
see
in
that
report
that
there
were
some
diver.
There
was
diversity
of
opinion
amongst
Council
amongst
sorry
about
amongst
members
of
the
committee,
not
officers,
and
the
committee
met
alone
the
week
before
last.
To
consider
those
points
we
agreed
as
a
group
that,
yes,
there
was
perhaps
some
procedural
unfairness
at
the
May
meeting.
N
N
B
N
Council
will
no
doubt
be
moving
down
that
path
and
may
have
already
made
commitments
I'm,
just
not
off
the
top
aware
of
what
they
are.
But
many
councils
are
doing
this,
and
so
there
are
commitments
being
made
to
move
towards
zero
emissions,
and
the
committee
will
be
interested
to
see
where
Council
gets
to
on
that
and
that
might
inform
some
of
our
work
over
the
next
12
months
and
Beyond
Madam
mayor
I'll.
Stop
there
I've,
probably
spoken
too
long,
but
I'm
very
happy
to
take
questions
this
time
and
your
agenda
allows
yeah.
A
J
Thank
you
minute,
mayor
I
would
just
like
to
quickly
say
the
depth
and
breadth
of
reports
that
are
considered
by
this
committee
are
amazing.
The
work
of
this
committee
is
very
professional.
Their
ability
to
adapt
to
change
is
greatly
appreciated,
as
with
councilor
kerrer
myself
being
on
this
committee,
it's
very
important
for
Council
and
very
important
for
confidence
in
the
community
in
this
Council.
So
a
chair,
councilor
Harry.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
work
and
the
work
of
the
community.
J
B
A
A
A
So
if
you
have
any
alternate
or
amen
emotions
this
evening,
you
must
draft
these
motions
and
provide
them
to
the
governance
team
via
email,
so
they
can
be
shared
on
screen
and
form
part
of
the
meeting.
Otherwise
we
may
have
to
defer
the
matter
until
the
motion
has
been
written,
allowing
the
meeting
to
proceed,
uninterrupted.
C
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
The
governance
report
is
a
standing
agenda
item
within
the

Thank

This
report
is
in
response
to
a
notice
of
motion
passed
at
the
April
council
meeting
2022,
which
called
for
Council
to
receive
a
report
detailing
costs
to
council
amount
of
Officer
resourcing
the
level
of
community
support
and
contribution
in
order
to
hold
a
European
Festival
in
Kiel
or
for
the
end
of
the
year,
in
partnership
with
local,
Traders
and
associations.
Thank
you.
Madame.
A
R
I
Yes,
please
I
want
to
thank
officers
for
this
very
detailed
and
informative
report.
A
lot
of
effort
and
time
has
gone
gone
into
delivering
this
information
in
light
of
the
results
and
consideration
of
forecast
costs
and
the
interest
of
local
Traders
I
believe
are
one-off
December.
To
remember,
European
themed
event
would
be
a
great
pilot
for
this
Festival.
This
will
give
Council
and
residents
a
taste
of
what
the
event
can
evolve
into
without
being
a
burden
in
costs
to
council.
Thank
you
again
for
the
time
and
Care
in
delivering
this
report.
A
H
A
S
A
A
A
A
I
There
is
no
doubt
that
this
is
a
world-class
facility
and
our
rate
payers
are
to
be
congratulated
for
having
funded
over
60
million
dollars
of
this
project.
Therefore,
it's
vitally
important
that
this
Center
is
inclusive
and
accessible
to
the
entire
Community.
I
have
received
feedback
from
residents
that
they
want
gym
only
memberships
available,
so
they
are
not
paying
for
services.
They
will
not
utilize
I've
also
received
emails
from
residents
explaining.
They
simply
cannot
afford
the
rates.
I
A
A
I
I
Yes,
please
Madame
mayor
tonight,
councilors
I
move
this
notice
of
motion
on
behalf
of
councilor
tarkos,
who
couldn't
be
here
tonight.
Council
and
community
members
have
been
raising
the
serious
issue
of
lack
of
access
to
bring
bang
Park
after
rain
events
that
flood
the
access
forwards
in
the
maribyrnong
river
and
make
access
unsafe
for
many
many
years
when
the
Fords
are
flooded,
the
only
way
to
access
bring
bang
Park
is
by
car.
Given
there
is
currently
no
public
transport
access
to
bring
Bank
Park,
not
everyone
has
a
car
over.
I
D
Yes,
thank
you
Madame
mayor
this
issue
is,
has
been
an
issue
for
our
community,
for
as
long
as
I
can
remember
trying
to
walk
through
Parks
into
into
brimbing
park
and
having
to
turn
back
every
time,
because
it's
flooded
I
feel
like
this.
Council
has
advocated
we've
spoken
to
Parks
Victoria.
We
have
done
so
much
to
try
and
get
some
I,
don't
know
change
to,
to
obviously
be
able
to
access
that
without
any
response
to
dates.
A
I
Please
Madame
Council
has
been
advocating
to
the
state
government
and
the
EPA
as
the
responsible
agent
for
Urgent
action
to
respond
to
resident
concerns,
especially
regarding
odor
and
air
quality,
which
is
having
a
significant
impact
to
the
amenity
and
well-being
of
the
local
community.
The
Hot
Spot
Fires
at
kealba
landfill
have
been
burning
since
2019..
The
fires
are
having
an
unacceptable
impact
on
the
local
community's
ability
to
enjoy
their
homes
and
their
neighborhood.
I
This
notice
of
motion
will
again
see
us
raise
the
issue
with
the
chairman
of
the
Barrow
group,
the
Victorian
Minister
for
health
The
Honorable
Marianne,
Thomas
MP
and
the
Victorian
Minister
for
environment
and
climate
action,
The
Honorable,
Lily,
d'ambrosio
and
again
we'll
highlight
ongoing
frustration
regarding
the
fire
at
Barrow
group
Sunshine
landfill.
It
continues
our
advocacy
in
response
to
the
continued
and
desperate
Community
concerns
about
the
impact
of
their
health,
in
particular
mental
health
of
the
odors
emitted
from
the
site.
I
If
supported,
this
notice
of
motion
will
call
for
Urgent
and
immediate
mobilization
of
additional
research
Resources
by
the
Barrow
group
and
the
Victorian
state
government
to
expedite
a
resolution
of
this
issue
councils
on
behalf
of
councilor
tarkos
I
commend
this
motion
to
you
and
Trust
I
will
gain
your
support.
Thank
you.
A

I
certainly
support
the
notice
of
motion,
another
item
that
I
feel
like
we
are
continuously
talking
about
and
raising
and
trying
to
get
everyone
involved
to
get
some
action
without
success
today,
but
I
really
do
hope
for
our
community
that
in
the
immediate
future
we
we
get
some
action
on
this
important
issue.
Thank
you.
A
A
S
There
is
one
item
that
is
appropriate
for
Council
to
consider
admitting
as
an
urgent
business.
This
item
relates
to
the
mayor's
potential
attendance
at
the
international
right
International
Association
of
Horticultural
producers,
World
Green
City
awards
ceremony
to
be
held
in
the
Republic
of
Korea
on
the
14th
of
October
2022.
S
Council
Sunvale
Community
Park
is
a
finalist
in
the
living
green
for
health
and
well-being
category
at
the
wards.
The
mayor
has
indicated
that
that,
due
to
a
change
in
circumstances,
she
is
now
able
to
attend
and
pay
for
the
cost
of
accommodation
and
airfares
of
the
proposed
travel.
However,
under
the
brimbank
city
council,
our
support
policy,
a
proposal
relating
to
international
travel
while
on
Council
business,
requires
a
council
resolution.

Now
we
do
have
three
items
of
confidential
business.
So
I'd
like
to
request
for
a
mover
of
emotion
to
close
the
meeting
in
accordance
with
Section
62
66
2A
of
the
Local
Government
Act
2020
to
members
of
the
public,
and
this
is
for
the
consideration
of
reports
17.1
to
17.3,
which
had
been
designated
as
confidential.
So
is
there
a
mover,
that's
papalia.
A
A
That
version
carries
so
thank
you
to
everyone
who
is
currently
viewing
the
live
stream
of
this
meeting
and
also
to
the
members
of
public
who
have
attended
here
today
in
the
gallery.
This
meeting
will
now
be
closed
to
members
of
the
public.
He
will
be
placed
in
the
holding
Bay
for
the
duration
of
the
consideration
of
confidential
items.
A
A
Thank
you
again
for
your
patience.
I
declare
the
speeding
reopened
at
9
31
pm
Council
has
considered
the
confidence
report
17.1
to
17.3,
and
they
have
resolved
that
they
will
remain
confidential
at
this
stage
before
we
close
tonight's
meeting,
we'd
like
to
send
a
special
message
to
a
special
governance
manager.
A
So
this
meeting
is
the
last
meeting
of
Mr
Julian
Chris
Sakurai,
our
manager
of
governance,
Julian
started
with
brimbank
in
2017.
As
a
senior
coordinator
for
governance
and
legal.
Before
moving
into
the
governance
manager
role
in
late
2019.,
he
has
made
a
significant
contribution
to
bring
back
City
over
the
last
five
years,
attending
over
50
Council
meetings
and
providing
steadfast
support
to
all
councilors.
A
During
a
time
a
great
change
and
uncertainty
I'd
like
to
highlight
his
professionalism,
knowledge,
expertise,
reliability,
come
nature
and
unwavery
support
in
pursuit
of
good
governance.
I
know
that
personally,
for
me,
Julian
has
been
a
person
who's
quite
Frank
and
honest
in
his
advice
to
all
counselors
and
also
to
the
executive
management
and
staff.
He
has.
A
beautiful
radio
voice
has
been
great
in
working
us
through
all
the
public
questions
and
whenever
we
had
any
questions
regarding
governance,
Julie
is
always
there
to
provide
his
Sound
Advice,
and
you
know
it's
it's
great.
A
S
Very
well
on
the
words
Julian
has
been
an
outstanding
employee
in
the
short
time
I've
been
here,
he
has
provided
astute
advice
regularly
and
often,
and
I
certainly
admire
him
for
his
ability
to
stay
calm,
always
no
matter
what
is
going
on
and
he
is
going
to
be
significantly
missed
in
the
organization.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you.
P
I,
just
thank
you.
Mother
may
I
just
like
to
say:
I
met
a
lot
of
gentleman
gentleman
of
in
my
life,
but
he's
one
of
the
better
gentleness
I
met
ever
extremely
good
and
I.
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
Julian
and
would
like
to
you
and
your
family
of
in
Sydney.
All
the
best
I
hope
you
like
what
you
see
in
Sydney.
I
I
E
E
D
You
we
will
miss
you
so
much
Julian.
Thank
you
for
everything.
You've
really
supported
our
Council,
especially
a
lot
of
us
being
new
I,
really
appreciate
all
the
advice,
and
yes,
the
calmness
that
you
present
when
you're
presenting
us
with
the
advice
wish
you
all
the
very
best
major
loss
for
brimbank.

Leave
the
last
little
bit
Julian
I
could
tweet
I
could
treat
people
quite
a
bit
in
my
career
and
my
jobs,
but
proficiency
is
top
of
the
line
for
you
there's
no
button
if
very
high
proficiency
and
that's
outstanding
and
after
the
last
minute,
I'll
also
say
thank
you.
It
went
to
the
last
motion.
He
assisted
me
less
of
that.
Without
your
system,
a
lot
of
people
have
gone
through.
Thank
you.
C
I've
worked
with
Julian
for
I
think
five
weeks
now,
but
in
that
time
I've
been
I.
I've
just
felt
this
sense
of
calmness
that
comes
with
his
approach.
I
think
he's
provides
wise
counsel
to
us
all
and
I
really
trust
the
advice
that
he
gives
it's
very
considered
and
he's
always
got
Council
outcomes
in
mind
for
in
the
interests
of
the
community.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Julian.
It's
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you.
A
It's
quite
sad
because,
like
I
really
enjoy
sitting
next
to
Mrs
Sakurai
this
entire
time-
and
this
is
quite
Bittersweet-
that
this
will
be
the
last
time.
So
thank
you
so
much
Mr
Julian
Chris
sucker
for
all
your
service
to
bring
back
in
these
past
couple
of
years.
Thank
you.
So
thank
you
all
for
attending
this
meeting
and
for
your
interest
in
tonight,
I
decided
is
meeting
Clarisse
at
9
39
pm
at
instruct
Channel
31
to
stop
live
streaming.
This
meeting.
Thank
you.
