A
E
Thank
you,
madam

The
purpose
of
this
report
is
for
council
to
note
the
status
of
the
actions
of
the
brimbank
coronavirus
response
and
recovery
strategy
for
the
reporting
period
of
the
1st
to
the
30th
of
september

as
well
as
note
the
covert
19
temporary
outdoor
dining
permit
guidelines.
Thank
you.
Madame.
A
D
A
Our
community
faced
enormous
challenges
in
the
second
half
of
the
financial
year
due
to
the
covert
19
health
emergency
that
has
hit
the
most
vulnerable
among
us.
Among
us
council's
priority
has
been
protecting
the
health
and
safety
of
our
community
and
on
supporting
bring
bank
through
the
response
and
recovery
process.
A
It
aims
to
ensure
our
municipality
gets
maximum
benefit
from
once
in
a
generation
investments
targeted
for
brink
bank,
including
the
10
billion
melbourne
airport
rail
link
via
sunshine.
The
western
rail
plan,
via
the
sunshine
super
transport
hub
and
priority
precinct,
our
transforming,
bring
back
key
advocacy
priorities,
have
been
for
jobs,
education,
sport
and
recreation
and
environment
equity
for
the
greenbank
community.
A
A
One
of
the
majority
priorities
of
this
council
was
to
build
australia's
best
multi-function
facility
to
replace
the
tired
and
aging
st
albans
leisure
centre.
This
year
we
signed
off
on
that
having
completed
almost
four
years
of
work
to
ensure
a
legacy
for
our
community
that
will
stand
for
decades
to
come.
A
Council
has
awarded
a
55.1
million
dollars
contract
to
demolish
the
tide
of
saint
albans
leisure
centre
and
build
a
state-of-the-art
health
and
well-being
hub,
including
a
50
metre
10
lane
swimming
pool,
two
massive
water,
slides,
a
wellness
centre,
community
program,
room
and
more.
We
look
forward
to
the
completion
of
this
new
hub
in
2022
council
also
continued
its
important
work
in
protecting
our
pressures
environment
in
june
environment.
A
I
would
like
to
personally
thank
everyone
who
has
helped
our
community
during
these
challenging
times,
as
we
draw
to
a
close
on
the
term
of
this
democratically
elected
council
in
bringbank.
I
wish
to
thank
my
fellow
councillors
and
the
bringbank
community
for
the
honor
of
representing
them.
Thank
you
now
councillors.
Are
there
any
points
of
clarification
or
any
questions?
Counselor

A

A

F

It
highlights
the
various
actions
taken
with
regards
to
the
health
and
well-being
response,
community
response,
business
support
and
assistance
response,
economic
support
response
and
community
and
engagement
and
advocacy
response.
This
response
also
includes
the
temporary
outdoor
dining
guidelines,
which
are
of
utmost
importance.
F
As
such,
it's
important
that
council
ensures
that
these
guidelines
are
accessible
to
the
community,
including
to
the
non-english
speaking
community.
It's
important
to
continue
to
work
with
the
state
government
with
regards
to
such
information
being
translated
in
various
languages.
Thank
you.
Madame.
G
We
would
need
to
build
one
of
these
buses
every
day
for
the
next
10
years.
What
an
incredible
thing
for
job
opportunities
for
us
in
the
future,
but,
more
importantly,
in
relation
to
the
outdoor
dining,
we
look
forward
to
enjoying
that
space
that
we're
going
to
make
available
as
a
council
and
hope
that
in
the
future,
this
is
an
ongoing
thing
where
we
have
cleaner
air,
quieter
roads.
So
thank
you,
madam
man.
D
Thanks,
madam
mayor,
look,
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
about
the
report.
I
think
an
excellent
report,
five
pillars
and
a
response
strategy
for
each
of
those
five
pillars
that
we
received
tonight
and
we've
also
received
a
recovery
strategy
for
restaurants
and
cafes,
providing
mainly
outdoor
services
to
seated
diners
with
density
quotas
applied.
D
I'm
looking
forward
to
council
putting
forward
a
recovery
strategy
that
is
comprehensive
and
talks
about
other
outdoor
responses
that
the
council
will
be
activating
in
its
in
its
spring
and
summer
activity
activities
and
in
a
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
pipeline
of
projects
for
that
activation
to
occur
at
the
parks,
leisure
centers,
libraries,
town
centres
and
so
on.
To
keep
this
city
on
track
to
recover
from
the
significant
covert
impacts.
D
So
look
forward
to
a
very
strong
and
comprehensive
recovery
strategy
coming
from
council
along
those
five
pillars
that
really
focuses
on
outdoor
activity,
particularly
over
this
next
spring
and
summer,
and
then
the
next
spring
and
summer
after
that,
as
hopefully,
we
don't
get
a
third
wave
of
covert
likes
happening
in
europe
at
the
moment.
Thank
you.
A
H
Thank
you.
Madame
I'm,
just
reiterating
some
of
the
comments
from
some
of
the
councillors
madame
merits.
It's
this
report
certainly
does
show
that
council
has
not
stood
still.
We
do
have
a
strong
response
and
recovery
to
co
to
covert
it
is
a
moving
feast.
After
all,
things
are
moving
quite
quickly.
The
virus
is
mutating.
We
don't
know
what's
going
to
happen
in
winter
in
europe
we
may
find
ourselves
another
in
another
lockdown.
H
I
certainly
hope
that
we
don't,
but
it
certainly
is
a
moving
feast
and
council
has
responded
with
its
19
19-point
response
and
recovery
plan.
We
also
have
a
range
of
initiatives
that
have
continued
to
be
delivered.
We
have
not
stopped,
we
have
continued.
Corona
has
not
stopped
us
in
delivering
services.
H
Initiatives
from
sports,
pavilions
support
for
daughters
and
sons
of
the
west
business
support
grants,
liaising
with
community
groups
having
their
fees
waived.
Food
registration
has
been
looked
out.
The
outdoor
dining
has
already
been
mentioned,
of
course,
and
we've
been
updating,
clubs
and
all
of
our
venues
and
and
community
centers,
with
the
better
way
of
doing
things
under
the
covered
pandemic.
H
Madame
and
of
course,
our
our
staff
have
been
very,
very
busy
in
answering
calls,
and
so
have
we
as
council
laws
and
answering
calls
from
so
many
worried
residents
out
there
that
don't
understand
the
rules
and
the
regulations
and
it's
up
to
us
to
actually
explain
it
to
them.
So
a
big
call
out
and
a
big
thank
you
to
our
customer
service
staff,
who
are
manning
the
phones
every
single
day,
with
all
of
that
information,
whether
it
be
state
government,
information
or
federal
government
information
or
just
council
information.
H
I
Thank
you.
Yes,
I'd
just
like
to
say
that
to
reiterate
what
was
said
also
and
that
it's
a
very
comprehensive
report,
the
local
economy
has
been
particularly
hit
hard
and
the
rollout
of
the
micro
grants
and
other
grants
by
council
have
been
significantly
helping
and
reaching
a
lot
of
these
businesses,
and
the
take
up
of
them
has
really
helped
them
through
these
difficult
times.
I
A
J
Walsh,
apologies
madame.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
to
present
to
council
the
status
of
planning,
permit
applications
and
trends
in
the
planning
approvals
in
brimbank,
and
also
to
outline
the
decisions
made
under
the
delegated
authority
during
september
2020
regarding
planning,
permit
applications
and
other
matters.
A
council
are
asked
to
note
the
planning
activity,
update
and
delegate
decisions
for
september
2020
and
the
delegated
planning
permit
decisions
that
are
detailed
at
attachment.
One
to
this
report.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
My
question
to
director
walsh
is
really
one
around
the
planning
activity
per
ward
again.
Harvest
award
has
topped
the
list
with
65
of
the
115
applications
for
this
month,
and
I
guess
my
question
is
that,
given
the
increasing
density
in
harvest
award
in
places
like
north
sunshine,
albion
idea,
west
sunshine,
durimet
and
the
poor
access
to
parks,
playgrounds,
open
spaces
that
we
have
in
the
the
well-developed
area
and
the
impact
that
that's
having
on
future
livability?
A
D
A
J
D
G
G
J
Thanks,
madam
mayor,
I
think
in
looking
at
the
the
table
in
attachment
two,
we
can
see
that
the
that
the
estimated
cost
of
works
is
is
highly
fluctuates
quite
a
lot
month
to
month,
and
it
would
be
more
appropriate
to
pick
a
trend
line
through
through
that
and
again,
I
would
need
to
take
that
on
notice
to
provide
counsellors
with
a
more
detailed
trend.
Analysis
on
the
on
the
on
the
on
the
estimated
costs
of
work.
A
G
Thank
you
madame
yes,
just
a
few
brief
words
the,
although
the
figures
might
look
particularly
down
this
month.
I
certainly
take
the
point
of
view
raised
by
the
director
that
one
month
does
not
make
a
year
and
the
overall
figures
from
this
year.
If
one
were
to
certainly
look
at
what's
been
happening
through
this
year.
G
A
D
D
This
has
been
the
trend
and,
as
we
kept
saying,
there
is
a
developer
contributions
approach
that
goes
on
in
this
city,
but
in
this
part
of
the
world,
the
access
to
parks,
playgrounds,
open
spaces,
and
that
is
very
limited,
particularly
in
places
like
north
sunshine
and
it'll.
Be
an
idea
and
we're
sunshine
and
parts
of
deremit,
so
we
do
do
rely
on
developer
contributions
to
be
able
to
facilitate
new
land
acquisitions,
new,
develop
new
development
of
parks,
playgrounds
and
open
spaces.
D
So
the
the
point
I
would
like
to
make
is
that
if
the
planning
applications
keep
coming
through
at
this
rate
for
the
next
four
years-
and
there
isn't
significant
improvements
in
access
to
a
whole
range
of
council
services
and
livability
in
this
city,
this
part
of
the
city
will
be
compromised
further
than
what
it
is
already
and
that
isn't
a
good
outcome
for
a
whole
of
brimbank
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Madam
mayor,
thank
you.
A
A
J
You
thank
you
again,
madam
mayor.
The
purpose
of
this
report,
or
this
report
is
a
quarterly
report
that
comes
to
council,
to
provide
council
with
a
an
understanding
and
an
outline
of
planning
compliance
over
activity
taken
undertaken
during
the
last
quarter.
So
between
the
1st
of
july
and
the
30th
of
september,
2020
and
council
is
asked
to
note
the
planning
compliance
activity
update
for
that
period.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
G
G
A
D
D
But
there
is
a
lot
of
unmet
need
out
there
at
the
moment,
and
I
urge
councillors
and
council
administration
to
have
a
think
about
how
we
do
have
a
more
proactive
approach
to
identifying
those
issues
and
dealing
with
them
in
the
streets,
because
they're
not
going
to
happen
through
a
complaints
process.
As
I
see
it,
so
congratulations
for
all
the
work.
That's
going
on.
D
A
A
C
I'll
try
again,
madam
man.
My
apologies.
Thank
you.
The
monthly
governance
report
is
a
standing
item
within
the
ordinary
council
meeting
agenda.
It
is
a
summary
of
recent
governance,
governance
activity,
accordance
with
best
practice
and
good
governance
principles
written
in
compliance
with
provisions
applying
respectively
in
the
local
government
act
of
1989
and
the
local
government
act
2020.
C
D
Thanks,
madam
mayor,
just
a
typo
in
one
of
the
social
justice
coalition
sid
report,
we
have
counsellors
in
the
congreve
in
there
and
my
question
relates
to
the
brimbank
etsy
consultative
committee
report.
That's
in
there
there
are
significant
issues
raised
in
that
report.
Areas
of
improvement
required,
including
a
meeting
with
the
brimbank
ceo.
D
E
Thank
you,
mr
hogan.
Through
you,
madame
mayor,
we
are
currently
working
with
the
the
rim
bank,
aboriginal
and
torres
strait,
islander
committee,
to
review
the
current
committee
with
having
a
series
of
workshops
that
we're
actually
working
through
with
the
aboriginal
facilitator,
so
that
for
the
new
council,
we
will
have
an
opportunity
to
review
the.
I
guess,
the
purpose
of
that
group
and
also
listen
to
what
they
their
requests
around,
how
they
would
like
the
group
to
be
focused
and
also
including
things
like
terms
of
reference
and
membership
of
that
group.
D
My
other
question
was
around:
how
does
the
community
keep
informed
about
the
progress
with
those
10
areas
of
improvement,
which
were
quite
significant,
a
lot
of
them?
How
does
the
community
keep
up
with
that?
To
know
that
the
that
the
committee
is
working
well
and
that
the
issues
are
being
dealt
with
effectively.
E
B
H
Last
governance
report
that
I'll
be
speaking
on
for
this
term.
Madame
it
does
show
that
there
has
been
a
little
bit
less
activity,
of
course,
this
month
for
very
obvious
reasons,
but
nonetheless
a
very
good
report
and
a
standing
governance
report,
which
I
have
no
doubt
will
continue
with
all
of
the
delicates
reports
and
all
the
portfolio
committees
to
be
set
at
the
next
council.
So
congratulations
to
everyone,
madame
a
very
good
report
and
a
very
good
final
report
for
this
council.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
F
Okay.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
the
two
reports,
including
included
in
this
report,
namely
the
social
justice
committee
report
and
the
one
from
the
brimbank
aboriginal
and
torres
strait,
islanders
consultative
committee
report.
As
usual,
robust
discussions
were
held
and
were
highly
productive,
and
I
would
like
to
add
that
it
has
been
a
great
pleasure
being
a
member
of
these
two
committees.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
members
of
the
community
staff
and
everyone
involved.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
just
wish
to
speak
about
two
things:
the
the
atsi
report.
I
I'm
looking
at
the
ten
areas
of
improvement
and
I'm
looking
at
first
one
is
respectfully
listening
to
others
and
elders
in
the
committee
lack
of
clarity
on
how
council
works
and
how
decisions
are
made.
Cultural
matters
arising
between
council
and
the
community,
increased
employment
for
aboriginal
people
and
so
on.
There's
a
whole
range
of
things
there,
this
connection
between
council
and
the
community.
D
What
does
community
look
like
community
frequency,
meaning
and
a
meeting
with
a
ceo
they're,
big
issues,
and
it
worries
me
about
where
reconciliation
is
heading
in
this
council.
We
do
have
a
commitment
to
it.
A
lot
of
people
in
this
community
are
very
committed
to
it.
I
think,
from
reading
the
the
outline
here
there
is
a
string
of
things
that
need
to
happen.
We
had
a
recent
decision
made
in
in
council
last
meeting
that
highlighted
some
sensitivities.
D
There
are
a
range
of
things
we
need
to
do,
but
I
urge
councillors
those
who
come
back
from
this
council
and
any
new
councillors
to
take
this
matter
really
seriously.
It's
one
of
the
big
ticket
items
for
this
council
going
forward
on
the
big
social
issues.
The
second
thing
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
the
code
of
conduct
going
to
the
new
council.
It's
one
of
the
the
parts
of
the
the
motion.
That's
before
us
here.
D
A
D
So
for
me,
I
think,
and
I
urge
councillors
to
really
pull
out
that
internal
dispute
resolution
process
and
own
it,
because
it
will
cause
a
cancer
again
inside
this
council
if
it's
not
used
properly,
if
councillors
go
to
the
extreme
option,
all
the
time
without
talking
to
one
another
without
sitting
down
and
having
conversations
about
what
the
issue's
about
it
is
very
destructive
and
it
does
impact
on
people's
health
and
well-being,
as
we've
seen.
So
I
urge
counsellors
to
do
just
that.
Thank
you.
A
D
A
A
A
I
would
also
like
to
acknowledge
what
a
proud
resilient
and
caring
community
bring
bank
is,
despite
the
many
challenges
we
have
faced
during
the
past
year,
including
bushfires,
the
covert
pandemic
and
working
from
home.
The
collaborative
spirit
of
our
council
and
community
has
worked
harder
and
will
get
us
through
this.
A
Thank
you
to
all
of
you
that
helped
to
make
our
city
the
great
place
it
is
to
live,
work
and
enjoy.
As
me,
I
am
extremely
proud
of
what
we
have
accomplished
as
a
council.
The
last
12
months,
but
as
we
know
there
will
be
more
work
ahead
that
will
require
to
support
our
community
and
local
businesses
through
the
covert
crisis.
A
As
a
leader,
I
witness
amazing
achievements
by
the
executive
management,
team
and
staff.
It's
so
important
that
we
choose
to
work
together
and
help
bring
back,
grow
and
evolve
in
a
positive
way.
A
lot
of
work
has
been
done
in
the
community
and
it
is
recognised
by
most
of
the
community
and
greatly
appreciated.
A
Most
of
you
had
an
important
role
in
me
succeeding
as
mayor.
I
could
not
have
done
this
without
your
support.
I'm
thankful
for
the
opportunities,
the
moments
of
strength
and
triumph,
the
professional
learning
that
took
place,
the
new
friendships
and
memories
that
I
will
cherish
and
some
that
I
will
not
forget
as
councillors.
I
believe
we
delivered
with
a
purpose
and
what
was
best
for
our
community.
A
There
may
be
some
items
that
a
minority
of
the
community
may
not
have
agreed
with
us,
but
I
can
confirm
that
each
one
of
our
councillors
had
the
best
interest
for
our
community.
Thank
you.
It
certainly
has
been
challenging
year,
but
a
rewarding
one
as
well
looking
forward
to
the
opening
of
our
new
aquatic
and
leisure
centre
in
2022,
please
continue
to
follow
the
covert
restrictions,
keep
well
and
safe,
and
I
wish
you
all
the
very
best
in
the
future.
