committee
meetings
are
expected
to
behave
respectfully
at
all
times
and
not

to
engage
with
the

or
Council

During

course
of
the
meeting
officers
are
employees
who
have
a
right
to
be
safe
and
treated
with
respect

A
We
will
not
tolerate
any
behavior
that
threatens
the
safety
of
anyone
present
in
the
chamber
or
which
disrupts
the
ability
for

its

on
behalf
of
the

in
the
unlikely
event
of
emerge.
An

Due
to

I
note
that
under
section

the
brimbank

I
must
vacate
the

if
I
wish
to
move

item
or
speak
to
any
other
items
and
the
council
must
appoint
a
temporary
chair.
A

B

The
second
award,
which
is
something
that's
really
exciting,
is
the
parks
and
Leisure
award
Australia
award
out
of
Excellence
I
would
like
to
congratulate
The,
brimback,
Aquatic

two
parks

So
the
aspiration
that
this

showed
in
developing
Innovation

Advising
of

decision.
Thank.
B
A
If
I
I'll
just
read
yeah
the
annual
budget
and
the
annual
plan
action
plan,
the
council
plan
action
plan
2023-24
is
a
very
significant
document
within
council's
processes.
Accordingly,
I
would
like
to
make
some
comments
on
these
significant
documents.
Through
the
chair
council's
annual
budget
and
year,
three
council
plan
action
plan
strongly
demonstrate
and
shape
our
ongoing
commitment
to
the
delivery
of
a
range
of
important
Council,
Services
programs
and
infrastructure
in
2023-2024
over
the
next
year.
A
Council
will
invest
significantly
in
capital
works
and
other
services
projects
and
initiatives
that
prioritize
our
community's
health
and
well-being
improve
our
Parks
roads
and
town
centers
upgrade
sporting
and
Community
facilities
focus
on
sustainability
projects
and
respond
to
climate
emergency.
This
budget
will
see
an
investment
of
55.9
million
dollars.
A
A
6.3
million
for
playgrounds
parks
and
Gardens,
2.2
million
for
improvements
to
community
facilities,
1.4
million
for
traffic
management,
830
000
for
Town
Center
improvements,
five
hundred
thousand
for
sustainability
projects.
Our
annual
action
plan
for
2023-24
includes
109
actions
that
respond
to
what
our
community
told
us
was
important.
The
delivery
of
these
actions
is
fundamental
in
processing
progressing.
Sorry,
council's
vision
for
a
transformed
brimbank
that
is
beautiful,
thriving
healthy
and
connected.
A
We
thank
the
community
for
helping
shape
our
budget
and
annual
action
plan
by
providing
feedback.
During
council's
extensive
Community
engagement
and
consultation
processes,
we
look
forward
to
delivering
the
many
vital
programs
and
services
that
will
help
us
continue
to
build
a
strong
and
resilient
brimbank
community.
A
B
You
thank
you
Mr,
Mayor
and
counselors.
The
exceptional
facilities
and
parks
that
we
build
are
what
our
community
want
and
need
right
now
coming
out
of
a
covert
pandemic.
The
the
demand
on
our
facilities
is
unprecedented:
the
growth
of
Sports
and
Physical
Recreation
and
Park
visitation
at
an
all-time
high.
So
it
makes
sense
that
our
Council,
where
possible,
through
strong
Partnerships
with
clubs
with
the
state
government
that
we
together
deliver
facilities
they
need.
B
We
are
at
the
precipice
of
achieving
this
with
this
particular
sports
club,
that
I've
mentioned
and
with
a
proud
100,
Year
history
in
football
and
Cricket,
a
club
that
has
grown
and
evolved
to
provide
Pathways
for
women
in
football
or
and
also
Cricket
I,
was
there
when
the
first
girls
qriket
team
began
with
the
under
Administration
and
I
have
seen
girls
grow
to
become
absolute
stars
with
one
currently
on
the
number
one
draft
pick
Montana
Han
coming
straight
from
our
community
clubs.
This
is
a
Grassroots
Club,
it's
reliant
on
volunteers.
B
It
receives
no
money
from
pokies,
it's
a
family
club
that
connects
many
parents
to
build
lasting
and
strong
friendships,
as
do
the
many
kids
who
become
lifelong
friends.
It's
an
important
interface
for
care
law
and
many
people
have
been
involved
in
some
level
or
attended
a
game
at
the
Village
But
as
time
progresses.
The
growth
of
this
club,
which
is
over
1
400
members,
has
made
the
the
current
Club
facility
unsustainable,
which
is
why
I
stand
here
today
to
provide
the
evidence.
A
A
A
We
certainly
believe
that
the
additional
money
that's
proposed
there
was
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
in
the
budget
for
this
there's
another
550
000
making
700
000,
which
matches
the
state
Grant
that's
put
forward,
and,
of
course,
other
groups
are
putting
in
including
the
club
putting
in
substantial
amounts
of
money
and
certainly
working
very
hard
to
make
this
proposal
a
reality.
The
staff
and
the
community,
the
club
counselors,
have
all
worked
and
I've
been
very
impressed.
A
All
worked
very
hard
to
make
sure
the
checks
and
balances
are
in
place
to
see
this
project
will
go
ahead
and
will
be
successful
and,
of
course,
we
are
very
keen
as
counselors,
to
see
as
much
work
done
in
our
term
as
possible.
There
is
certainly
the
money
in
the
budget
to
do
this,
and
and
as
such,
I
too
would
like
to
thank
all
those
involved
in
achieving
this
result
and
would
also
like
to
support
the
proposal.
Thank
you.
A
G
I'd
like
to
speak
to
an
emotion
yes,
so
last
year,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
the
facilities
of
the
killer,
Sports
Club
a
lot
of
other
counselors,
including
tacos
here
as
well,
and
and
we
had
a
meeting
with
Minister
Ben
Carroll
as
well-
and
you
know
the
council's
very
supportive
in
helping
the
club
get
the
funding.
Are
they
required
to
upgrade
the
kitchen
and
toilet
facilities?
Furthermore,
and
as
I
could
tell
demand,
always
outstrip,
Supply
and
I'm
sure
lots
of
communities
and
Sport
Clubs
would
love
to
get
the
series
upgrades.
G
So
it's
very
tricky
and
difficult
task
on
in
terms
of
budget
allocation
and
Council
has
also
done
some
work
to
review
our
Sports
facility
development
plan
and,
as
you
can
see,
with
a
big
Council,
a
lot
of
facilities
and
as
with
anything
that
needs
to
be
rebuilt
or
with
our
recapitalization
works,
that
they
are
set
in
terms
of
needs
and
price.
If
we
are
to
update
things
strategically
and
with
this
review,
we
have
found
that
yes,
the
the
kitchen
and
toilet
upgrades
for
the
killer.
Sports
has
been
higher
up
in
the
list.
G
Renewal
works,
they
have
a
high
priority,
I
think
I
do
believe
they
have
an
urgent
priority
need
and
we
also
understand
that
whenever
we
build
something,
we
need
to
go
through
due
process.
A
special
significance
works
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
this
case
700k
from
the
state
government,
200,
crepe
and
Melbourne
Airport,
and
you
know
I've
understand.
The
club
itself
has
raised
a
lot
of
money,
so
that
needs
to
go
through
a
tender
process.
G
G
And
you
know
it's
very
important
that
we
go
through
this
property
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
go
outside
procurement
policy.
That's
that's
important
as
a
standard,
so
I
I
do
have
concerns
about
that,
because
we
still
need
a
lot
more
work
to
be
done
to
get
to
that
point.
We
still
need
a
permit
and,
like
I
said,
like
you
know,
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
these
upgrades
aren't
welcomed.
G
It's
just
that
there
needs
to
be
a
due
process
that
needs
to
be
ticked
off
and
yeah
and
I'm
aware
there
are
other
clubs
and
organizations
that
don't
even
have
a
facility,
so
I
just
really
want
to
be
Equitable
Affair
how
to
go
about
it,
and
but
it's
not
to
say
that
the
council
has
not
done
things
to
support
this
club
because
we
have
done
these
actions
of
it,
but
like
for
this
budget,
I
I
do
think
there
are

Chen
Council
Newen
our
quantity,
surveyor
report,
traffic
management
report,
parking
arborist
report
plans
have
been
lodged
with
planning.
There
is
an
extensive
checklist
of
checks
and
balances
that
this
process
has
to
go
through,
and
another
report
will
be
required
as
well
as
outlined
in
my
in
my
motion
that
I've
put
together.
However,
I
want
to
look
at
the
positive
outcomes
that
that
will
come
out
of
this
and
there
is
a
real
need,
and
you
said
that
we
have
given
the
money
before
to
this
club.
B
That's
because
it's
needed
it
and
because
it
in
the
past
it
hasn't
always
received
funding
allocation.
We
have
an
opportunity
now,
with
the
shovel
regi,
Earth
shovel
ready
project
where
it's
ready
to
go.
It's
not
disadvantaging
as
far
as
I'm
aware
any
other
project,
any
other
project
that
goes
through
the
review
process
will
be
completely
supported
by
this
Council.
B
However,
this
is
an
opportunity
where
we
we
have
moved
it
up,
because
it
is
received
a
grant
and
and
also
it
has
gone
through
the
some
of
some
of
the
the
due
diligence
but
there's
an
another
report
to
come
through
so
I
urge
counselors
to
please
re-read
the
amended
motion
that
it
will
go
through
another
report
phase
and
it's
an
in-principle
support
for
the
additional
maximum
of
the
550
000..
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
The

The

Mr.
A
D
D
And
hearing
our
prayer,
thank
you
in
hearing
our
priorities
for
affordable
housing.
I
think
this
presents
a
great
opportunity
to
the
area.
I
also
acknowledge
the
parking
concerns
I
think
in
this
particular
development.
Providing
the
double
garages
was
wise,
I
have
seen
the
original
and
and
the
new
plan
and
I
must
say
it
has
improved
significantly
and
so
I
do
support
this
development.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
I
wish
to
speak
against
it:
Mr
Mayor
Mr
Mayor.
There
is
a
planning
proposal
here
to
build
seven
double-story
houses
on
28,
rockbank,
Road,
28,
Rock,
Bank
Road
lies
between
the
cross
intersection
of
Lawrence
Street
and
a
bend
in
the
road
of
Rock
Bank
Road.
It
is
only
a
stretch
of
approximately
100
meters.
In
this
stretch,
there
is
a
16
properties
with
driveways
that
lead
onto
the
road.
There
are
27
houses
within
this
small
stretch
of
road.
The
residents
previously
objected
to
this
plan
for
nine
double-story
houses.
B
There
were
over
30
objections,
Council
refused
this
application.
The
applicant
appealed
it
to
vcat
and
it
was
refused.
This
is
a
new
application,
but
the
same
issues
exist:
a
mass
of
properties
within
a
small
stretch
and
a
proposal
that
does
not
fit
in
with
the
characteristics
of
the
neighborhood.
Although
Council
recommended
the
proposal
still
has
the
same
issues
and
concerns
the
objectives.
Last
week
at
the
planning,
Forum
spoke
up
about
accidents
involving
their
cars
due
to
the
already
high
density
of
properties.
B
A
I
A
H
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
for
Council
to
consider
an
assessment
of
a
planning
application
for
the
construction
of
two
additional
dwellings
to
the
side
of
the
existing
dwelling
at
13
McDonald
Court
Taylors
Lakes
against
the
provision
of
the
brim.
Bank
planning
scheme
officers
recommend
that
the
issue-
the
council
issues
a
notice
of
decision.
A
D
Look
I
again:
I
have
seen
both
sides
to
this
one
I
understand
it's
gone
through.
Vcard
I
understand
we're
here
because
of
the
concerns
regarding
noise,
which
have
been
checked
by
two
individual,
like
reports
or
experts,
I
should
say
and
I'm
satisfied
with
the
response.
I
support
this
development.
Thank
you.
B
You
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
I
attended
this
planning
Forum
as
well
and
I
I
believe
that
the
residents
are
employed,
a
specialist
in
the
noise
technician
firm
now,
people
that
are
so
concerned
about
their
health
that
they're
willing
to
take
that
step,
because
we
know
that
noise
Specialists
are
not
cheap,
obviously
concerned
about
the
health
impacts
of
ongoing
noise.
So,
on
that
basis,
I
am
not
convinced
that
this
planning
application
is
providing
that
certainty
around
the
noise
issue
in
which
was
raised
at
the
planning
planning
Forum.

A
G
Hi
Mr
Mayor
I
like
to
move
the
motion
as
per
the
shared
screen,
so
I
like
to
move
that
Council
endorses
the
draft
lgbtiqa
plus
action
plan
for
2023
to
2027,
and
also
the
inclusion
of
as
part
of
the
consultation
feedback
seek
the
potential
establishment
of
a
LGBT
iqa
plus
Advisory
Group
to
council,
and,
as
we
point
C,
you
can
see
on
the
shared
screen.
Thank
you.
G
Yes,
it's
quite
physically
that
you
know
I'm
quite
proud
that
our
council
is
trying
to
be
as
inclusive
as
they
can
to
the
community
and
considering
that
one
in
ten
Australians
identify
as
part
of
the
Rhema
community
and
by
simply
just
the
fact
that
I
identifying
as
being
part
of
the
community.
If
they're
you
know
if
they
feel
safe
to
do
so,
they
face
such
discrimination
and
they
you
know,
we
they
do
need
help.
G
You
know
including
minorities,
and
you
know
we've
got
to
go
further
to
even
considered
during
the
consultation
feedback
for
advisory
committee
and
look,
everybody
is
entitled
to
your
opinions.
They
can
provide
it
in
the
consultation
process,
but
we
won't
do
this
in
the
most
respectful
way
possible
and
yeah
I'm,
just
yeah
I'm
glad
that
Council
has
come
to
this
point.
It's
taken
a
while,
but
we're
here
now
with
the
action
plan.
Thank
you.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
Mr
Majors,
to
thank
Council
on
the
work
done
on
this
Action
Plan
and
there's
clearly.
Community
need
lgbtqia,
plus
communities,
experience
actual
and
perceived
discrimination
and
modulate
and
marginalization
at
higher
levels
than
the
rest
of
the
population.
I
think
that
was
evident
tonight.
This
experience
is
associated
with
economic
disadvantage,
poor
mental
health
and
poor
physical
health
outcomes
and
reduce
Community
engagement
and
social
connection.
D
So,
as
part
of
this
action
plan,
a
series
of
strategic
actions
are
presented
in
the
draft
LGBT
qia
plus
action
plan
which
have
been
identified
through
research
and
consultation.
These
reflect
council's
roles
in
providing
a
safe
and
inclusive
community
for
all
people
identifying
as
part
of
the
lgbtqia
plus
community
and
their
allies.
Thanks
I
commend
this
report
to
council.
A
B
B
Missed
on
us
to
treat
everyone
with
fairness
and
Equity,
we
must
speak
up
against
any
discrimination
and
hate
and
provide
a
safe
and
inclusive
environment
for
all,
irrespective
of
language,
religion,
politics,
ethnicity,
gender,
socioeconomic
status,
Geographic
or
postcode
location,
sexuality,
ability
or
age.
I'm
particularly
concerned
myself
about
the
young
people
who
have
it's
outlined
that
60.2
percent
have
felt
unsafe
or
uncomfortable
in
schools
and
in
our
in
our
municipality
and
not
felt
included.
B
We
are
a
very
highly
diverse
municipality
and
we
all
live
knowing
that
it
is
our
diversity
that
makes
us
stronger
and
unique
I'm,
proud
that
our
Council
Embraces
diversity
in
all
its
forms
and
provides
a
safe
space
for
everyone
to
thrive.
I,
look
forward
to
hearing
our
community's
response
to
this
draft
action
plan
and
supporting
a
safe
and
inclusive
community,
Within
brimbank,
end
of,
and
to
remind
everyone
that,
yes,
our
diversity
is
our
strength.
Thank
you.

B
Just
like
to
congratulate
our
department,
and
particularly
with
the
extensive
work
that
went
into
this
report,
but
I
also
like
to
thank
the
advocacy
department
for
all
its
exceptional
work
in
our
recent
Elga
reconnaissance
there
and
other

in

and
that
took
a
lot
of
work
and
preparation.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
went
into
it.
Thank
you.
A
A
K
Yes,
thanks
acting
mayor,
cancer
resolves
as
part
of
the
2022-23
quarter,
three
Finance
report
in
May
to
receive
a
report
on
the
status
of
works
at
Sydenham
park.
There
are
a
number
of
projects
being
planned
and
delivered
in
Sydenham
Park,
and
this
report
provides
an
update
on
the
various
elements.
The
report
notes
that
Sydenham
Park
is
a
sensitive
site
due
to
cultural
and
environmental
factors
and
a
range
of
external
stakeholders.
Projects
within
the
precinct
are
being
delivered
by
staff
across
a
range
of
council
departments
and
involve
numerous
external
stakeholders.
K
An
internal
cross-branch
Steering
group
has
been
established
to
Monitor
and
manage
these
projects.
A
consultative
committee,
including
Community
stakeholders,
is
also
being
established
with
the
appointment
of
an
independent
chair
expected
in
June,
and
although
I
can't
announce
the
chair
at
this
meeting,
the
chair
should
be
announced
in
the
coming
weeks.
A
summary
of
the
status
of
the
various
projects
is
provided
on
page
nine
of
the
report
and
notes
that,
whilst
there
are
some
minor
delays,
most
works
are
on
track.
A
A
A
Of
course,
there
was
Calder
Park
Raceway
diagonally
opposite,
which
did
the
same
thing
and
I
can
remember
talking
to
Bob
Jane
about
it
and
concerned
that
we
were
going
to
lose
a
very
big
chunk
of
our
park
and
Bob
Jane
said
well.
Don't
worry,
Bruce
he's
not
very
good
he's
a
great
racing
car
driver,
but
he's
not
too
good
with
finances.
A
In
many
cases,
it
was
simply
just
making
sure
that
we
kept
this
incredible
Park,
which
is
our
largest
park,
and
it's
not
too
far
from
the
Keeler
skull,
which
set
the
Benchmark
for
the
started
to
talk
about
the
age
of
the
Aboriginal
settlement
in
Australia.
It
went
back
30
years.
The
park
itself
is
sets
in
a
Ravine
and
the
Confluence
of
Three
Rivers,
which
is
the
beginning
of
the
maribyrnong
and
again
I
always
thought
the
mirror
belongs,
started
up
in
the
hills.
It
actually
starts
in
brimbank
park.
A
A
The
establishment
of
the
Sydenham
Park
consultative
committee-
again
this
is
an
innovation
of
Council
in
on
our
largest
park
that
you
do
have
various
groups
on
the
site
from
model
aircraft
to
golf
to
conservation
groups.
This
will
allow
a
whole
of
Park
approach
to
be
taken
for
its
future
consideration
and
development.
A
The
Sydenham
Park
master
plan
stage,
one
and
stage
two
works
well
of
course.
Later
this
year
we
will
all
have
the
honor
of
seeing
stage
one
opening
up,
which
is
absolutely
fantastic.
We've
seen
on
this,
our
largest
park
signs,
which
say,
keep
out
to
have
these
paths
open
and
to
allow
people
to
go
through.
This
is
fantastic.
A
Robinson's,
Homestead,
restoration
and
shearing
shed
one
of
our
most
significant
Heritage
buildings
in
this
municipality,
and
we
certainly
do
have
an
obligation
to
restore
these
buildings
and
convert
them
to
possibly
a
social
Enterprise
cafe
or
something
like
that.
It's
right
near
the
edge
of
the
Valley
from
that
edge.
You
can
see
the
airport
Melbourne
City.
You
can
almost
always
see
kangaroos
when
you
go
into
Sydenham
Park,
which
is
15
minutes
away
from
the
airport
and
what
the
tourists
really
do
want
to
see.
A
A
You
but
to
look
at
the
whole,
all
aspects
of
the
park:
Sydenham
Park
potential
community
and
Sport
Hub.
Of
course,
we
were
very
thrilled
to
get
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
towards
developing
the
the
sporting
concepts
for
this
park
through
the
local
member
Natalie
Hutchins.
Very
much
appreciated
changing
the
name
of
Sydney
Park
as
I
mentioned
again.
A
B
Thank
you,
acting
May,
fantastic
presentation
there,
Mr
Mayor.
This
is
for
me
one
of
the
most
exciting
openings
that
for
our
Council.
It's
a
key
progress
report,
which
has
been
absolutely
mind-blowingly
and
put
together,
surpasses
all
of
our
expectations.
When
we
sat
in
the
council
in
the
first
term,
we
were
looking
at
an
old
master
plan.
B
It
was
a
rocky
road
ahead
with
the
council
there's
a
lot
of
passion
in
this
particular
Park,
and
understandably,
we
can't
get
things
moving
fast
enough,
but
to
to
get
to
where
we
are
now.
I
cannot
commend
our
officers
for
the
amount
of
work
and
challenging
work
they've
put
in
to
get
to
this
stage.
This
park
is
perhaps
the
large
last
large
Vestige
of
unique
and
undisturbed
conservation
and
cultural
and
environmental
values
in
brimbank
to
get
to
ex
to
our
stage.
B
It
has
been
discovered
along
Jackson's
Creek,
all
along
that
area.
That
now
has
become
a
very
protected
area
because
of
the
the
values
this
will
translate
into
this
park
being
even
more
important
and
special,
the
cleanup
of
the
park
was
done
very
respectfully
and
collaboratively
with
archaeologists
indigenous
representatives
to
ensure
the
relocation
of
artifacts
that
were
uncovered.
B
This
will
be
an
ideal
place
to
escape,
have
a
picnic
or
just
even
look
into
the,
as
you
said,
the
kangaroos
freely
roaming.
This
is
an
exciting
first
step
to
make
the
park
accessible
in
a
respectful
way
and
to
learn
more
about
our
indigenous
cultural
heritage,
our
unique
biodiversity
and
our
history
spanning
millions
of
years,
some
of
it
showing
traces
with
the
rocky
escarpments
that
repeat
along
Jackson's
Creek,
which
will
be
renamed
also
to
big
water,
where
many
of
our
first
people
lived
fished
and
lived
in
harmony
with
the
land
and
with
the
waterways.
B
I.
Look
forward
to
the
indigenous
name,
change
that
is
also
respectful
of
the
whole
of
this
area
and
the
waterways
and
the
surroundings
to
better
reflect
the
unique
and
treasured
importance
of
this
place
to
our
first
peoples
as
a
tourism.
The
new
tourism
portfolio
holder,
I'm
also
really
excited
about
the
opportunity.
This
will
present
for
a
local,
National
and
international
tourism,
an
opportunity
where
people
can
discover
something
different
about
brimbank,
that
they
don't
usually
see
in
other
areas,
quite
unique
and
important.
A
real
opportunity
to
view
a
part
of
our.
B
G
A
B
Thanks
Mr
Mayor,
the
Victorian
government
in
its
latest
budget,
announced
it
would
slash
funding
for
public
transport,
the
Public,
Service
and
Health.
We
also
have
recently
heard
that
the
Melbourne
Airport
Rail
Link
will
be
on
hold
indefinitely
indefinitely
due
to
budget
blowouts
and
stalemates.
Where
does
this
put
Green
Bank
in
a
pre
in
a
pretty
poor
position,
in
fact
going
backwards
because,
as
our
population
continues
to
grow,
with
the
West
being
the
main
growth
Corridor,
the
services
that
are
vital
to
supporting
that
growth,
like
transport,
Health
Schools,
is,
is
in
fact
going
backwards.
B
This
is
why
I
have
put
this
urgent
notice
of
motion
to
acknowledge
that,
while
major
promise
projects
are
being
slashed
or
put
on
hold,
we
need
bus
reform.
Why
more
than
ever,
bus
reform
can
be
achieved
with
less
funding
and
time
as
well.
The
major
then
a
major
project
such
as
the
Melbourne
Airport
Rail
Link,
that
could
take
years
and
lots
of
negotiations
to
achieve.
B
We
already
have
buses
here,
but
what
we
need
to
do
is
improve
the
efficiency
and
the
movement
of
these
buses
to
activity
centers
to
job
jobs,
hubs
to
services,
to
hospitals,
to
where
people
need
to
get
to
to
tafes
to
schools.
We
have
examples
in
the
west,
where
we
have
no
bus
routes
in
major
thoroughfares
through,
for
example,
Deer,
Park
and
Ken
Lee.
Yet
we
have
courtesy
buses
taking
people
to
the
pokies,
that's
actually
insulting
to
our
community.
This
is
outrageous
and
an
indictment
on
the
people
in
the
west.
B
It's
in
in
very
important
that
a
25
minute
trip
to
a
major
activity
center
for
a
job
or
a
shop
or
for
shopping
in
the
west
equates
to
2.5
to
3
hour
bus
trip,
rendering
it
as
not
acceptable
option.
Why
so
many
people
in
the
west
have
become
so
car
Reliant
and
why
so
many
people
are
also
at
the
point
with
cost
of
living
struggling
to
maintain
cars
and
petrol.
B
It's
becoming
something
that's
quite
Out,
Of
Reach,
so
Mr
Mayor
in
Dr,
Laura
aston's,
article
planning
for
better
buses
in
Melbourne's
West
is
said
that,
with
the
cost
of
living
pressures
and
emissions
and
our
status
as
a
second
most
disadvantaged
municipality
in
Victoria,
creating
a
better
bus
connections
to
schools,
Services
train
stations,
City
centers,
the
airport
and
jobs
hubs
would
make
a
big
difference.
I'm
asking
for
bed
Carol
to
urgently
consider
the
focus
of
brim
Bank
to
become
the
home
for
better
buses
network
based
here.
Thank
you.

B
B
The
advantages
of
these
programs
are
for
health,
mental
health,
but
also
for
Independence
like
swimming
and
learning
to
ride
a
bike.
They
are
at
times
lesser
prioritized,
as
people
find
ways
to
stay
afloat.
Through
these
tough
times,
we
in
brimbank
have
a
wonderful
and
equipped
bicycle
education
center.
B
This
Center
is
the
host
of
fantastic
programs,
which
include
the
very
revolutionary
Balance
Bike
program,
which
is
run
by
credentialed
trainers
in
teaching
kids,
how
to
learn
without
the
training
wheels,
which
is
the
proper
way
to
learn
how
to
ride
a
bike.
Whilst
this
bicycle
education
program
or
bike
Ed
as
it's
called,
is
run
out
of
schools,
there
is
the
option
to
run
it
out
of
a
bicycle
education
center
as
well.
B
Whereas
a
lot
of
schools
in
the
west
may
be
struggling
under
the
pressure
with
teachers
teaching,
they
may
not
have
the
facilities
and
bikes
to
teach
all
the
kids
at
all
levels
how
to
ride
a
bike,
whereas
our
bicycle
education
center
is
purpose-built
to
to
do
this
now.
The
way
the
program
works
now
is
that
children
come
with
a
bus,
and
the
major
impost
of
that
cost
is
the
bus
itself.
B
So
I've
seen
the
kids
walk
away
and
the
teachers
have
told
me
that
many
of
these
kids
appearance
wouldn't
be
even
able
to
afford
a
bicycle.
So
this
experience
is
something
new
for
a
lot
of
the
children
from
called
and
disadvantaged
backgrounds,
but
it's
giving
them
giving
them
an
opportunity
to
learn
so
I
urge
fellow
counselors
to
support
that.
The
bicycle
education
center
is
fully
funded
and
also
sustainable
in
providing
bicycle
education
training
for
all
children
in
brimbank.
Thank
you.
L
You
delivered
all
the
message
that
you
need
to
send
it
out
to
the
counselor
I
just
want
to
add
it
in
some
point
that
lots
of
family
have
issue
about
the
young
children
stay
with
the
device
with
the
games
and
lack
of
social
life.
So
I
find
that
yeah.
The
bioeducation
center
is
not
only
teach
the
children
how
to
ride
a
bike.
L
A
B
B
We've
raised
it
to
the
Department
of
Transport
and
planning
seeking
intervention
and
mitigations
till
now.
Nothing
has
has
really
been
done.
This
is
not
acceptable
and
the
daily
risk
continues
at
the
kilo
Park
Drive
called
a
freeway
off
ramp
out
of
desperation
as
risk
mitigation
measures
are
non-existent.
A
resident
has
written
to
me
again
with
the
support
of
all
the
users
of
this
off-ramp.
That
is
a
major
thoroughfare
to
many
motorists,
and
some
cyclists,
who
use
it
and
are
fearing
the
illegal
Maneuvers
being
undertaken,
could
lead
to
a
fatality.
B
Vehicles
are
clearly
using
the
far
left
lane
on
the
off-ramp
to
jump
the
traffic
queue
for
vehicles
wanting
to
get
access
to
the
old
Calder
Highway.
This
is
leading
to
many
road
safety
issues
and
collisions
at
the
at
the
heavily
used
intersection
at
Keel,
Park
Drive,
being
an
arterial
Road
under
the
management
of
the
state
government
and
Department
of
Transport
and
planning
the
signage
and
line
markings
that
you
see
is
not
enough.
B
A
G
A
Thank
you.
Acting
mayor,
brim
bank
has
17
contaminated
sites
listed
on
the
EPA
priority
register
in
both
public
and
private
ownership
requiring
various
actions.
There
is
also
an
unknown
number
of
potentially
contaminated
sites.
The
interests
of
Public
Safety
should
be
Paramount
to
council
and
risk.
Minimization
is
essential
to
manage
Public
Safety
and
to
show
a
duty
of
care
councils
should
also
minimize
their
own
risk
of
litigation
by
landowners
and
or
community
members.
A
There
are
examples
of
other
councils
having
a
policy
framework
to
manage
contaminated
and
potentially
contaminated
land,
which
is
publicly
available
on
the
council
website.
This
provides
a
transparent
and
consistent
approach
for
all
to
follow.
I
acknowledge
that
there
are
legislative
changes
from
time
to
time.
A
However,
policy
can
be
qualified
to
take
account
of
future
legislation,
changes
and,
in
any
event,
should
be
reviewed
and
updated
on
a
regular
basis
to
remain
current
and
relevant
I'm,
not
proposing
to
replace
the
existing
operational
framework,
but
to
investigate
whether
this
should
be
supported
with
a
council
adopted
policy
available
to
all
to
implement,
as
required
as
earlier
stated,
showing
a
duty
of
care
and
minimizing
risk
cannot
and
should
not
be
under
master
estimated
in
its
importance.
Accordingly,
I
recommend
this
notice.
A
motion
to
my
fellow
counselors.
Thank
you.
B
It's
often
brought
to
my
attention,
given
the
incident
of
the
key
Alba
Landfill
fire,
that
a
lot
of
people
didn't
know
much
about
landfills
and
were
quite
unaware
of
aside
from
the
dust.
What
could
happen?
Well,
the
past
three
and
a
half
years.
A
lot
of
my
time
in
a
lot
of
people's
time
is
have
been
taken
up
with
attending
meetings
with
the
EPA
and
we've
become
somewhat
landfill
experts
over
time.
B
Sadly,
because
of
the
things
that
can
go
wrong
and
if
anything,
if
we
could
protect
and
reduce
the
risk
to
this
Council
and
to
our
community
in
any
way
and
strengthening
policy,
Frameworks
are
ways
that
we
can
strengthen
this.
It
gives
me
great
confidence
that
you
know
we
can.
We
can
at
least
Monitor
and
and
prevent
and
be
aware
of
any
possible
things
that
can
go
wrong
with
our
landfills.
Thank
you.

Concerns
have
also
been
raised
regarding
Road
Safety
at
the
intersection
of
Fitzgerald
Road
and
the
Avenue
Sunshine
West.
This
section
of
Fitzgerald
road
is
an
arterial
road
that
carries
large
volumes
of
traffic,
including
High
numbers
of
heavy
vehicles
that
provides
access
from
the
Western
Ring
Road
to
the
sunshine,
West
and
Durham
industrial
areas.
C
The
Avenue
is
a
major
local,
collector
road
that
provides
access
to
the
sunshine,
West
and
sunshine
area.
Motorists
have
difficulty
entering
and
exiting
the
Avenue
from
Fitzgerald
Road,
given
the
traffic
volumes.
This
creates
road
safety
issues
as
road
safety
issues
as
motorists
take
risks
trying
to
enter
or
exit
the

concerns
have
also
been
raised
by
pedestrians
and
cyclists
and
local
residents
regarding
the
dumping
of
rubbish
at
the
bike
path
near
the
Western

and
the
lack
of
cleaning
of
