I
would
like
to
welcome
the
members

The
purpose
of
a
council

is
to
conduct
the
business
of
a
council
in
an
orderly
and
constructive
manner.
Members
of
the
public

of
council
offices
and
the
emergency
procedures

I
would
like
to
note
that
I

I

you
need

we
can

A
As
the
council,
we
will
act
in
the
best
interests
of
the
brimbank
community
and
consider
the
immediate
and
long-term
impacts
of
our
decisions.
We
will
make
these
decisions
fairly
and
without
bias.
We
will
uphold
all
of
our
obligations
under
the
laws
of
Victoria
and
council's
local
laws
and
will
act
in
accordance
with

A
A
A
A

learning
that

Since

A
A
C
A
H
I
H
H
Both
have
carried
out
their
duties
with
respect,
diligence
and
intelligence
that
these
positions
require
I
congratulate
both
of
you
on
your
hard
work
and
on
the
on
what
you
have
achieved
over
this
last
year.
Firstly,
to
the
mayor,
Kessler,
councilor,
Jasmine
Yuen,
our
youngest
mayor
and
our
first
mayor
of
Vietnamese
heritage.
H
H
Breathless
I
hope
you
don't
mind
that
I
have
occasionally
referred
to
you
as
our
ever
ready
Bunny
at
just
the
energy
is
fantastic
and
whatever
you
have
I
want
some
of
importance
to
the
council,
though,
you
have
shown
the
ability
to
manage
a
diverse
mob
that
we
are
carrying
from
age,
to
young,
to
old,
different
ethnic
backgrounds,
different
gender
backgrounds
and
political
backgrounds.
It's
been
a
difficult
task
and
you
have
done
that.
Well,
you
have
attended
an
Untold
number
of
community
functions,
the
opening
of
parks
and
Facilities
you.
H
We
have
all
noticed
that
the
community
has
responded
to
enthusiasts
enthusiastically
to
your
warm
welcome.
While
you
have
represented
the
whole
Community
your
attention
to
giving
the
younger
brimbank
a
voice
is
certainly
a
Hallmark
of
your
mayoral
Year,
and
thank
you
for
that.
The
councilor
Deng
have
you
again
also
performed
outstanding
in
the
role
of
Deputy,
chairing
the
occasional
meeting
and
attending
to
functions
of
council.
You've
shown
that
leadership
when
that's
been
called
for
and
that's
been
much
appreciated.
H
A
C
You
Madame
man,
I,
think
I'll,
say
a
few
words
as
well.
I
think
you
left
the
whole
of
the
western
region,
councilors
jealous
because
I've
seen
all
the
Mayors
and
Deputy
Mayes
seen
some
automation
and
you
that
happy
smile,
we're
gonna,
miss
it
smiling
all
the
way
and
Matt
smiling
that's
what
it
is
yeah,
but
look
I
think
the
year
passed
very
quick.
Somehow
maybe
it's
me,
but
I
thought
he
passed
very
quick.
C
We
done
well
and
yeah.
It's
it's
something
that
I
saw
a
good
type
of
a
double
a
mayor
and
a
deputy
mayor
she'd
done
a
wonderful
job,
whilst
you're
replacing
your
mouth
some
of
the
time
she
done
a
wonderful
job
and
well
done
as
well.
He's
done
a
wonderful
job
Indeed.
So
both
of
you
thank
you
for
your
services,
not
just
for
us
counselors,
but
the
the
city
will
bring
back.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
mother,
Mary
I
would
also
like
to
join
counselor,
Lancashire
and
counselor
David
in
congratulating
you
and
and
the
deputy
mayor,
treating
for
your
leadership
throughout
these
last
12
months.
I'll,
never
forget
your
passionate
enthusiasm
in
your
speeches
and
every
time
you
met
with
the
community
and
the
stakeholders,
wherever
you
appeared,

passion
and
really
shown
true

I
want
to

all
your
hard
work
throughout
these
last
12
months
and
counselor

you
filled
in
the
place
at
times
as
a
deputy

and
also
as
a
as
the
chairperson.
B
E
I
am
proud
of
you
as
young
men.
What
have
you
done
for
Youth
and
engage
so
many
young
people
Tui
has
been
doing
great
job
when
you're
away
or
when
you
couldn't
do
it
great
to
see
two
Vietnamese
counselors
representing
large
Vietnamese
Community
here
in
brimbank?
You
both
have
done
for
that
fantastic
job,
and
this
year
will
be
remembered
as
the
great
one.
Thank

F
F
A
A
You
know,
deliver
for
the
community
and
yeah
I
I
hope
that
a
lot
of
the
community
members
out
there
go
like
it
doesn't
matter
your
age,
your
gender,
your
background
or
your
cultural,
social
economic
status.
If
you
want
to
make
it
a
change
or
have
an
impact,
you
just
gotta
have
the
energy
to
do
it,
but
yeah.
Thank
you.
So
much
like
it's
been
really
really
a
big
huge
honor
to
serve
the
community.
A
In
this
capacity
as
mayor
and
I
really
want
to
say
some
words
to
our
Deputy
Mayor
dang
like
she
is
just
as
much
as
I'm,
energetic
cancer
amateur
is
the
peaceful,
harmonious
counter
that
we
need
to
know
in
the
council.
She
has
a
really
good
ability
to
listen
to
everybody
and
bring
people
in
together
and
I.
A
Think
like
I,
I'm,
so
happy
that
and
proud
that
we
were
able
to
work
together
as
Deputy
Mayor
and
mayor,
and
you
know
it's
the
first
time
in
history,
I
think
in
Australia,
where
we
had
two
Vietnamese
Australian
as
the
mayor
and
a
deputy
mayor,
and
it
goes
to
show
yeah
like
I,
think
diversity
is
a
huge
strength
of
roombank
and
that
and
that's
reflected
here
on
our
Council
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much.
Thank
you.
K
A
Hello,
this
position
has
been
created
as
a
result
of
an
operational
review
of
the
council
support
team.
It
is
a
repurposing
of
an
existing
vacant
position
within
the
council
support
team
to
provide
dedicated
support
to
the
May
of
the
day.
Previously,
support
for
the
mayor
and
the
councils
were
all
shared
across
the
council
support
team,
and
this
dedicated
Position
will
be
responsible
for
providing
General
executive
support
and
undertaking
high
level
administrative
duties
for
the
mayor,
and
there
is
no
additional
cost
to
counsel
for
this
role.
A
In
accordance
with
the
Local
Government
Act
423,
the
chief
executive
officer
is
responsible
for
ensuring
the
effective
and
efficient
management
of
the
day-to-day
operations
of
council.
This
includes
establishing
and
maintaining
an
organizational
structure
for
Council
and
being
responsible
for
All
Staffing
matters,
including
appointing
members
of
council
staff.
The
change
was
made
within
the
set
budget
and
was
consistent
with
the
council
support
Majors
policy.
It
was
therefore
a
matter
which
the
council
did
not
have
any
capacity
for
influence.
A
So
bring
back,
Council
has
held
carols
at
the
council
for
six
consecutive
years
from
2014
and
between
2019,
noting
that
the
2018
event
had
to
be
canceled
due
to
extreme
weather,
and
this
was
a
ticketed
or
paid
event
which
was
limited
to
800
patrons
and
in
2019.
Almost
40
percent
of
the
people
who
attended
this
event
lived
outside
of
brimbank
in
2022,
with
the
removal
of
restrictions
and
with
the
aim
to
bring
Festive
Celebrations
to
as
many
people
in
our
municipality
as
possible.
K
A
This
position
was
approved
by
the
CEO,
consistent
with
her
responsibilities
for
the
insuring
of
the
effective
and
efficient
management
of
the
day-to-day
operations
and
Council.
Previously,
the
support
for
the
mayor
at
all
councils
was
shared
across
the
team
and
has
said
before.
A
dedicated
role
would
be
more
efficient
in
supporting
the
duties
of
the
mayor,
of
which
there
are
many
responsibilities.
There
is
no
additional
cost
to
the
council
for
this
role.
K
A
The
operating
budget
is
not
broken
down
into
location
or
Wards,
as
most
services
and
functions
provided.
I'm
served
widely
in
the
municipality.
There
are
some
functions,
such
as
the
library,
so
the
location
based.
However,
some
of
the
costs
of
operating
these
bills
is
held
cooperatively
and
not
allocated
to
the
branches,
and
these
location-based
Services
only
represent
a
small
portion
of
the
total
operating
budget
with
the
capital
Works
budget.
There
are
projects
that
are
location-based,
however,
there's
also
another
project
that
of
municipal-wide
benefit.
A
A
I
believe
those
are
all
the
questions.
Thank
you,
Miss
latchford.
There
is
one
petition
to
be
received,
and
this
is
item
11.1
run
about
in
Joshua
court
and
Sherry
Court
King's
Park,
and
we
received
this
petition
with
13
secretaries
can
I.
Please
have
a
move
of
a
motion
to
receive
the
petition
Council
book.
A
A
There
are
14
offices
of
reports
for
consideration
by
council
tonight
and
in
the
interest
of
conducting
all
the
business
entitled
agenda.
I
won't
be
granting
extensions
for
speaking
time.
So
if
you
have
any
alternative
or
emit
emotions
this
evening,
please
ensure
that
you
draft
these
and
put
them
to
the
governance
team
via
email,
so
they
can
share
it
on
the
screen
and
form
part
of
me.
You
know
what
about
the
meeting
efficiently.
Thank
you.

The
final
draft
disability
action
plan
outlines
council's
commitment
to
encouraging
and
supporting
full
participation
for
people
living
with
disability
in
Grim
Bank.
It
sets
out
a
series
of
key
actions
informed
through
extensive
consultation
engagement
and
a
successful
co-design
approach
that
Drew
on
people
with
lived
experience
of
disability.
Thank
you.
B
B
I
would
like
to
thank
to
thank
them
for
their
valuable
contributions.
I'll,
never
forget
the
participants
Expressions
on
their
faces
when,
when
they
were
participating
in
this
in
the
developing
on
this
plan,
I'm
pretty
sure
it
caves
them
not
only
a
voice
but
also
a
sense
of
empowerment.
Disability
action
plan
is
quite
unique
and
merits
a
celebration.
This
Council
has
taken
quite
an
Innovative
approach
in
introducing
the
the
co-design
concept.
B
I
would
also
like
to
mention
that
the
launching
of
the
disability
action
plan
2022-2026
will
be
the
highlight
of
this
year's
celebration
of
the
2022
International
Day
of
people
with
disability.
I
would
like
to
finish
by
thanking
Lyn
Lee
and
her
staff,
the
co-design
team
and
everyone
involved
throughout
the
process
to
develop
the
final
draft
disability
action
plan.
A
M
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
mayor
council's,
creating
better
Parks
policy
and
plan
was
first
adopted
in
2008
as
a
blueprint
to
transform
the
brimbank
park
Network.
The
aim
was
to
create
one
of
the
best
networks
in
Melbourne
through
the
development
of
a
part
Network
consisting
of
Flagship
Parks,
Suburban
Parks,
neighborhood
parks
and
local
Reserves.
M
The
review
and
updating
the
coding,
better
Parks
policy
plan
has
now
been
completed,
and
the
purpose
of
this
report
is
for
Council
consider
endorsing
the
draft
creating
better
Parks
policy
and
plan
2022,
which
is
an
attachment
one
to
the
report
for
Community
consultation
for
a
period
of
four
weeks
and
invite
written
submissions.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
H
H
M
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Council
Lancaster
for
the
question
through
you,
madam
mayor,
so
Council
will
obviously
complete
a
a
very
robust,
Community
consultation
process.
Of
course,
we
will
use
your
say
online
web
page,
but
that'll
be
complemented
by
a
whole
range
of
other
strategies
to
make
sure
that
the
message
gets
out
there
from
past
experience
with
creating
better
Parks
policy
plan.
We
often
do
get
quite
a
large
amount
of
feedback
and
responses.
M
A
B
B
Indeed,
a
number
of
issues
were
investigated
as
part
of
the
review,
as
outlined
in
the
report,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
distribution
of
parks
to
ensure
Equity
of
access,
including
access
to
all
ability,
playground,
reviewing
the
options
of
fully
enclosed
playgrounds
to
support
families
and
children's
and
options
for
increasing
access
to
outdoor
exercise
equipment
and
supporting
infrastructure.
I
am
very
much
looking
forward
to
the
communities
feedback.
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
Neil
Whiteside
and
his
staff.
More
specifically,
Adrian
gray.
I
commend
this
report
to
council.
C
Thank
you
madame
the
last
few,
which
was
mining,
Castle
box,
said
it
yeah,
I.
Think,
look
looking
back
all
my
time
at
Council
over
the
years,
the
last
few
years,
unless
Neil
and
his
team
provided
an
extremely
good
facilities
in
reference
to
Parks,
better
parks
in
birmingbangen,
and
they
continue
to
do
so
and
that's
a
wonderful
thing.
People
started
to
enjoy
small
parts
and
all
that
type
of
thing,
and
that's
what
we're
here
for
to
make
it
better
for
our
communities
and
Well
Done
Neil
and
your
team.
C
H
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
I
would
certainly
Echo
the
words
of
councilor
bogg
and
councilor
David,
the
sort
of
coming
back
on
Council
in
the
last
term,
and
what
we've
achieved
over
the
last
six
years
through
the
staff
has
been
absolutely
amazing.
There
was
a
huge
shift
in
priorities
and
a
huge
shift
in
resources
to
achieve
fantastic
results.
H
We
have
a
hierarchy
of
parks
and
we
have
specialized
Heritage,
Parks
I.
Guess
I
would
probably
like
to
see
that
we
start
to
think
about
giving
a
priority
to
tourism
and
Sydenham
Park,
as
separately
defined
as
a
tourism
Park
it's
our
largest
park
and
has
some
very
unique
characteristics.
Almost
every
time
you
go
there,
you
see
kangaroos
tourists,
it's
almost
number
one
on
their
list,
so
that
other
than
that
comment,
I
think
this
is
an
excellent
piece
of
work
and
look
forward
to
the
public
consultation.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank.
A
A
H
Yes,
as
I
seem
to
be
encouraged
to
do
so.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
look.
This
is
another
one
of
the
reports
that
is
very
complex,
I
I
think
when
it
comes
to
roads,
rates
and
rubbish,
there
are
still
those
inevitable
things
that
are
very
important
to
our
local
residents,
well
done
to
the
director
and
the
staff,
who
have
gone
through
quite
an
extensive
process
to
get
to
this
point
and
we'll
continue
working
hard
on
these
issues.
H
Having
been
on
the
Metropolitan
waste
committee,
which
was
deleted
by
the
state
government
and
converted
into
a
government
department
and
chair
of
the
spag
committee,
for
that,
I
did
have
a
lot
to
do
with,
with
that
and
I
still
feel
a
little
bit
lost.
Now
all
of
that's
gone.
However,
these
changes
are
important.
I,
particularly
like
the
Fogo
I
know.
Some
things
are
being
delayed
because
there's
high
cost
and
also
there's
considerable
difficulty
in
getting
the
community
to
take
these
things
on
so
painfully
I've
had
to
accept
that
that
will
go
at
that
pace.
H
A
J
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
This
report
outlines
the
processes,
costs
and
timelines
involved
in
changing
the
name
of
Sydenham
Park
to
an
appropriate
Aboriginal
name
suggested
by
local
Aboriginal
groups
in
consultation
with
Council
and
the
REM
bank
community.
This
follows
a
notice
of
motion
which
was
passed
at
the
July
council
meeting.
Thank
you.
H
Yes,
that
Council
notes
the
report
on
the
processes,
costs
and
timelines
involved
in
changing
the
name
of
Sydenham
Park
proceeds
with
the
naming
process
and
consultation
with
waranjiri,
where
I'm
cultural
heritage,
Aboriginal
Corporation
and
Community
for
the
renaming
of
Sydenham
Park
to
an
appropriate
Aboriginal
name.
Thank
you.
Madame.
B
J
J
J
H
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
The
proposal
to
rename
Sydney
park
to
a
runjury
name
has
been
proposed
by
the
local
community
for
some
time.
This
proposal
is
also
supported
by
the
local
historical
society
and
Friends
of
Sydenham.
Park
I
have
also
had
the
pleasure
of
raising
this
idea
with
a
number
of
rangery
Elders.
The
feedback
I
have
from
all
of
these
groups
and
individuals
is
of
support
for
this
proposal.
H
Sydenham
Park
is
council's
largest
park.
It
has
considerable
significance
from
an
Aboriginal
cultural
heritage
perspective.
It
also
has
significance
from
an
earlier
settler
perspective,
sporting
functions
and,
of
course,
the
model
aircraft
Club.
When
the
Park
is
open
to
the
public
next
year,
it
will
become
I
believe
a
major
local
and
tourist
attraction.
Within
brimbank
Sydenham
Park
is
located
some
distance
from
Sydenham
as
chair
of
council's
Heritage
advisory
committee.
I
have
given
this
idea
of
changing
the
name
very
careful
consideration.
H
Last
Saturday
at
the
50th
anniversary
of
volunteering
at
the
organ
pipes,
National
Park,
a
welcome
to
country
was
provided
by
orangiri
Elder
Uncle
Bill
Nicholson
I
had
the
honor
to
meet
and
talk
with
Uncle
Bill.
Amongst
various
matters.
We
discussed
the
proposal
to
change
the
name
of
Sydney
Sydenham
park
to
a
more
appropriate
indigenous
name.
Uncle
Bill
believed
this
was
a
good
idea
and
it
would
continue
the
healing
process.
H
H
The
Runge
we
word
for
Eagle
could
be
considered
because
of
the
number
of
wedge-tailed
Eagles
that
fly
over
Sydenham
Park.
However,
the
rangery
word
for
wedgetailed
eagle
bungeel
has
already
been
taken
by
an
arts
and
entertainment
center
in
the
city
of
Casey,
and
he
visited
the
Sydenham.
Park
will
tell
you
that
there
is
an
abundance
of
kangaroos
there.
The
rangery
word
for
Kangaroo
is
Mom.
If
I
pronounced
it
correctly,
this
doesn't
appear
to
be
used
anywhere
as
a
place
name.
The
rangery
word
for
welcome
is
waramjika.
H
E
B
Thank
you,
mother,
Mayo
I
am
not
in
favor
of
this
amended
Motion
in
principle.
I
do
support
the
renaming
of
the
Sydney
park.
There
is
a
rich
Aboriginal
history
embedded
in
this
park.
It's
important
that
its
name
reflects
such
an
integral
part
of
this
park.
However,
considering
the
expenses
involved
and
that
there
is
no
money
allocated
in
the
budget,
I
am
happy
to
wait
for
the
next
budget
and
considering
it
at
that
time.
So,
for
this
reason,
I
will
not
be
voting
in
favor
of
this
motion.
Thank
you.
Whatever.
C
Report
here
and
it's-
we
had
similar
type
of
process
with
the
Leisure
Center,
where
we
had
a
number
of
names
given
to
us
by
the
governance
at
the
time
where
we
didn't
like
one
and
at
the
very
end
we
finished
with
the
name.
We
gave
the
Leisure
Center
now
and
we
didn't
have
to
go
to
all
the
meetings
and
things
that
I
heard
last
time
with
a
different
Aboriginal
type
of
communities
as
such
and
some
of
those
we
got
uncles
and
aunties
all
around
us.
C
Our
Quran
just
around
the
corner
here
here
in
Bear,
Brook
somewhere,
and
these
people
can
come
up
with
really
good
name
Aboriginal
names
where
we
can
take
a
name
we
wanted
meaning
to
represents
the
the
cinder
Park
and
we
go
from
there.
Instead
of
going
on
all
the
way
to
perhaps
having
meetings
and
no
budget
relegation
on
it
as
well,
then
we
can
do
that
before
the
end
of
this
perhaps
September
Council,
that's
my
opinion
and
I
support
the
perhaps
the
amendment
by
councilor
lagasha.
Thank
you.
F
J
Thank
you
through
the
chairman,
the
because
this
is
on
the
traditional
owners
lands
of
the
laundry
we
do
actually
have
to
actually
consult
with
the
the
traditional
owner
group.
The
state
government
also
have
guidelines
about
actually
the
process
to
actually
undertake
that
around
naming,
so
that
that
is
actually
what
our
advice
has
been
based
on
is
actually
the
process
of
working
with
the
traditional
owner
group.
So
thank
you,
which
does
include
the
meetings,
so
we've
done
an
estimate
of
how
many
sort
of
meetings
that
we
might
take.
So
thank
you.
F
J
J
You
know
the
intention
of
the
rap
to
actually
and
it
to
you
know,
to
have
this
type
of
renaming
done.
It's
more
around
the
staff
resources
and
also,
as
we've
mentioned,
the
other
costs
that
are
involved
in
the
name
change,
so
we
could
certainly
start
the
process,
but
some
of
the
more
costly
items
we
haven't
got
budgeted
for.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
I
H
Yes,
look
I
think
the
the
key
thing
here
is
that
it
doesn't
change
the
process,
and
that
was
clearly
explained
by
the
director.
The
process
doesn't
change.
It
does
mean
that
we
start
the
process
and
I
think
it's
been
indicated
that
the
process
could
take
a
minimum
of
six
months,
maybe
18
months,
so
it
would
span
over
the
time
to
which
the
laying
of
this
has
a
as
a
budget
measure
would
occur
anyway
in
terms
of
things
that
have
been
suggested,
there
could
be
up
to
10
meetings.
H
I,
don't
believe
that
we
did
that
with
a
book
name,
change,
I,
don't
believe:
we've
done
that
with
any
of
the
street
name.
Changes
we've
done
look
I.
Think
the
the
process
here
is
is
one
that's
highly
beneficial
to
the
healing
process
to
our
relationship
with
the
Aboriginal
community
and
the
community
generally,
it
will
occur
over
potentially
a
long
time
a
six
months
minimum
and
in
that
regard,
the
the
budget
costs
would
be
spread
out
over
a
long
period
of
time
to
incorporate
what
had
been,
alternatively
suggested
anyway.
H
A
Thank
you
with
all
this
counselors
have
spoken.
We'll
now
put
the
motion
to
vote
all
those
in
favor.
Please
raise
your
hand
all
those
against.
Please
raise
your
hand
well
with
the
majority
of
votes
in
favor.
That
motion
carries
and
now
we'll
move
on
to
the
quarterly
budget
report
for
July
August,
so
I'd
like
to
invite
Mr
Shane
Ma.

year
for
extension,
for
the
contract
to
capiche
services
and
delegates
the
year,
5
extension
to
the
CEO.
Thank
you.
A
You,
madam
Deputy
Mayor,
is
there
a
second
there
for
reviewing
these
items
on
block
sure?
Thank
you
ma'am.
Definitely.
Would
you
like
to
speak
on
that?
No
thank
you.
Madame
Cass
David,
any
counselors
want
to
say
something
which
you
can.
If
you
want,
if
not.
Okay,
we
can
put
the
motion
to
vote.
I'll
do
some
paper.
Please
raise
your
hand
that
carries
so
we're
giving
them
on
the
Block
yeah.
Okay,
just
have
to
confirm
that.

Kelly
Drive,
Kenley
Kelly
is
one
of
the
area
in
brimbank
that
had
grown
in
population
and
is
still
one
of
the
most
car
dependent
without
corresponding
investment
to
the
public
transport.
Rec
work,
despite
the
number
of
bus
routes
operating
along
Ballarat,
Road
and
station
row
and
by
the
locals,
serve
it
along
for
long
row
to
connect
to
San
Urban
station
and
Bremen
Shopping
Center
Kennedy.
Try
has
no
bus
route
at
all
connected
the
Furlong
row
and
to
the
Ballarat
row.
F
Therefore,
the
resident
in
the
area
are
relying
on
the
private
Vehicles,
which
goes
in
heaven:
heavy
traffic
congestion
along
candy,
dry
and
Ballarat
Road.
The
future
development
in
Canley
area
could
also
cause
in
more
trouble
on.
In
congestion,
according
to
the
community's
concerned,
counselors
I
could
strongly
call
for
your
support
to
ask
the
state
government
to
consider
an
urgent
need
for
additional
bus
routes
in
the
suburb
of
Kelly's
in
order
to
reduce
car
dependence
and
increase
public
transport
access
to
nearby
activity
centers.
Thank
you.
B
B
This
means
that
most
people
occupying
those
dwellings
will
be
from
a
low
socio-economic
development.
Many
of
them
will
not
be
able
to
own
a
car
and
will
be
relying
on
public
transport.
At
this
stage.
There
are
no
buses
going
through
this
part
of
Cali.
Therefore,
no
connectivity
to
work
shopping,
centers,
schools,
sports
facilities,
medical
centers
and
so
on,
and
yet
there
is
a
court
as
a
bus
to
take
people
for
free
to
the
two
pokies
venues
that
are
less
than
half
a
kilometer
away.
B
This
community
will
be
set
up
for
failure
unless
a
bus
service
will
be
provided
to
meet
its
needs.
The
need
for
this
bus
has
also
been
identified
in
council's
transport
position.
Paper
2022.
It
stated
that
a
bus
route
connecting
Sydney
and
sunshine
and
brimbank
shopping
center
via
Kelly
Drive,
will
facilitate
public
transport
access
to
existing
and
emerging
development
and
increase
Regional
access
to
Sanchez
Precinct.
H
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I
would
certainly
like
to
support
and
Echo
the
comments
of
councilor
dang
and
councilor.
Borg
I
recently
attended
a
forum
on
bus
transport,
as
you
did
too
madamir,
and
it
was
a
series
of
forums
and
I
think
it
was
highlighting
to
certainly
to
all
of
us
that
the
bus
network
is
underdone
and
there
are
some
areas
in
the
municipality
like
Hanley,
where
it
is
appallingly.
Underdone
and
better
services
are
needed,
so
I
congratulate
and
support
the
notice
of
motion.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor

113
landfill
to
solar
projects
with
one
megawatt
or
greater
capacity
have
been
built
in
the
US.
The
largest
landfill
to
solar
project
in
the
U.S
is
being
developed.
27
kilometers,
south
of
Houston
Texas
in
Sunnyside
The
Finnish
project,
will
cover
97
hectares
of
former
landfill
and
Power
about
5
000
homes
per
year.
H
Once
a
landfill
like
the
one
in
Sunnyside
is
decommissioned,
it
becomes
a
blight
to
the
community
wasted
space
that
could
emit
toxic
pollutants.
If
punctured
by
buildings
structures
or
not
properly
capped
building
solar
panels
on
former
landfills
is
safe
because
they
are
able
to
be
built
on
concrete
ballasts
that
won't
disrupt
the
dirt
cap.
Local
communities
are
more
in
charge
of
how
landfills
are
used,
since
they
are
now
under
the
ownership
and
control
of
municipalities.
H
There's
an
opportunity
here
for
partially
connecting
some
environmental
partially
correcting
some
environmental
injustices
that
have
occurred,
such
as
in
the
western
suburbs
of
Melbourne,
about
two
megawatts
of
the
50
total.
The
Sunnyside
solar
project
will
generate
will
be
put
into
a
community
solar
project
that
could
help
lower
the
costs
of
electricity
for
Sunnyside
residents.
H
There's
also
150
megawatt
storage
facility
for
excess
solar
power
to
be
used
when
needed,
to
help
prevent
blackouts
and
I
certainly
do
notice
that
there's
been
proposals
in
budgets
to
provide
Battery
Systems
to
communities,
and
this
may
well
be
a
site
where
that
could
be
considered.
There
are
two
Council
policies
that
are
particularly
relevant
to
energy
Park.
Firstly,
there
is
the
council
policy
relating
to
Urban
forests
and,
secondly,
council's
policy
relating
to
climate
change
emergency.
H
It
is
understood
that
sunshine
has
a
significant
heat
island
effect.
This
can
be
deadly
for
people
living
without
adequate
air
conditioning
trees
are
one
of
the
most
significant
methods
of
reducing
the
heat
island
effect.
We
have
already
undertaken
significant
tree
planting
and
energy
Park,
and
that
includes
grants
to
of
quite
a
large
number
of
trees
to
go
in
that
area.
The
continuation
and
extension
of
the
program
of
tree
planting
and
energy
Park
is
very
important
in
reducing
the
heat
island
effect
on
surrounding
neighborhoods.
H
In
addition,
trees
are
useful
in
lowering
water
tables,
which
can
be
important
on
filled
sites
such
as
energy
Park.
The
proposal
to
establish
a
solar
farm
at
energy
Park
also
sits
well
with
council's
policy
on
climate
change.
Emergency
industry
experts
advise
that
a
solar
farm
could
be
established
at
energy
park
at
no
cost
to
council
and
provide
a
regular
income
that
could
be
used
to
help
maintain
this
park
and
extend
the
planting
of
trees
and
Native
grasses.
A
E
B
C
Madame
mayor
I,
think
I
have
two
is
my
ward,
so
I
have
to
say
a
few
words
here.
Look
I
was
very
much
staying
in
with
a
presentation
we
had
I.
Think
it
was
about
three
and
a
half
weeks
ago
in
reference
to
the
energy.
Park
is
something
that
I
haven't
seen
before
was
very
much
taken
by
that
presentation,
and
indeed
it
was
always
earmarked
for
a
sporting
Arena,
but
what
council
Lancaster
is
being
before
us
tonight.
C
It's
in
need
of
that
as
well.
So
it's
plenty
of
room
to
do
all
these
things
and
imagine
American
a
few
places
America
before
I,
remember
seeing
a
documentary
in
an
American
documentary
as
well
in
reference
to
a
lamb
field
where
they
built
a
beautiful
Stadium
there,
how
the
peers
and
everything
else
conquered
thereafter
and
then
soil
on
top
of
it,
so
I
was
very
safe
in
and
they
played
good
games
there
I
saw
I
saw
I
was
very
much
taken,
but
I
took
him
and
say
so.
C
A
H
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
The
I've
certainly
made
the
comment
before
that
that
there's
maybe
two
futures
for
energy
Park,
there's
because
of
the
settlement
going
on
which
could
be
for
decades,
but
so
there's
a
long-term
future.
However,
in
the
meantime,
there
is
the
climate
change
emergency
need,
which
is
now
we
talked
about
cost
of
income
cost
of
the
renaming
of
Sydenham
Park.
H
Before
certainly,
we
need
to
look
at
other
options
where
we
can
make
some
income
from
our
parks
and
not
necessarily
increasing
the
fees
of
sporting
grounds,
and
things
like
that.
This
is
a
great
way
to
increase
income
for
our
Parks.
I
would
certainly
like
to
see
that
money,
reinvested
in
energy
Park,
possibly
through
a
reserve
fund
or
something
and
I,
think
it's
it's
something
which
needs
to
be
done
now.
Climate
change
is
affecting
us
now,
working
on
the
heat
island
effect
and
increasing
the
planting
for
the
people
of
sunshine
and
surrounding
areas.
H
A
A
E
A
And
Council
ball:
okay,
I'll
just
put
to
the
very
old
days
in
favor.
Please
raise
your
hand
that
motion
carries
so
I
just
had
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone,
who's
currently
viewing
the
live
stream
of
this
meeting.
The
meeting
will
now
be
closed
to
public
members
and
also
those
in
the
gallery.
Hello.
We
will
reopen
the
meeting
to
the
public
after
this
item,
which
is
confidential,
is
considered
by
the
council.
So
it's
now
closed
at
8,
29
pm.
