A
Is
live
streaming?
I
call
a
special
budget
committee
meeting
of
today
to
order
we'll
start
with
a
prayer
heavenly
father
grant
that
we
who
would
seek
to
serve.
You
may
have
the
wisdom
of
your
spirit,
the
guiding
of
your
hand
and
the
grace
to
serve
together
for
the
prosperity
of
the
city
of
the
gold
coast
through
jesus
christ.
Our
lord
amen
right.
A
A
Is
this
a
committee
forward
planning?
That's
nothing!
There
item
five,
nothing
item
six
draft
corporate
plan,
after
speaking
with
the
ceo
we've
got
to
deal
with
it
before
we
actually
deal
the
draft
budget.
That's
the
the
order
of
proceedings.
So
where
is
it
now?
B
What
I
want
to
do,
first,
is
take
you
through
the
consultation
results.
You
have
got
the
consultation
full
report
there
in
front
of
you.
It's
quite
comprehensive.
Just
take
you
through
the
high
level
results,
so
you
we
can
kind
of
set
in
context
the
changes
we're
proposing
to
the
corporate
plan.
B
So
in
terms
of
the
community
consultation.
Obviously
we
went
out
to
the
citywide
consultation
through
our
normal
have
your
say
panel.
There
was
a
lot
of
social
media
facebook
and
a
whole
range
of
platforms
used
as
normal.
As
part
of
that
consultation.
It
was
completed
in-house
by
our
corporate
communications
team
and,
as
a
result
of
that
consultation,
we
had
over
a
thousand
survey
responses,
which
was
what
we've
been
hoping
for.
We
also
had
a
junior
youth
council
event
as
well.
B
We
took
advantage
of
on
the
fourth
of
may
and
had
as
part
of
their
world
cafe
workshops
so
in
terms
of
the
community
consultation,
the
city-wide
survey,
in
terms
of
the
themes
for
the
gold
coast,
2032
and
the
corporate
plan.
These
were
the
themes
that
came
into
the
top
three,
so
naturally
unique
level
places
and
vibrant
lifestyle.
The
community
rated
these
as
the
top
three
of
our
six
themes
in
our
draft
corporate
plan
and
in
terms
of
the
reach,
I
think,
there's
over
373
000
people
reach
as
part
of
this
engagement.
B
In
terms
of
the
outcome
priorities,
obviously
there's
15
outcomes
in
the
corporate
plan.
These
were
the
top
five
that
people
rated
most
important
to
them
and
we
have
beaches,
parklands
and
waterways
and
natural
places
absolutely
came
out
on
top,
not
just
for
this
overall
consultation.
But
when
you
start
to
look
at
some
of
the
breakdown
across
the
city,
people
rated
this
outcome
very
highly,
and
I
think
it
goes
to
the
heart
of
what
people
enjoy
about
the
city.
In
terms
of
all
their
open
spaces
and
opportunities.
B
You
can
see
the
other
top
five
there
being
safe
and
active
balancing
city
growth
in
the
environment,
managing
resources
and
critical
nature
corridors.
They
came
up
to
the
top
five
as
having
said
that
all
the
outcomes
were
important
and
people
did
write
them
differently
across
the
city
and
I
think
from
the
consultation
report,
you
can
probably
see
that
for
individual
parts
of
the
city,
north,
south,
east
and
west,
there
are
some
differences
that
appear
across
the
city,
but
these
were
the
overall
results.
B
599
people
actually
responded
on
the
open
question
and
these
were
the
feedback
they
gave
in
terms
of
their
top
issues
and
priorities
for
the
city.
So,
as
you
can
see,
development
came
up
there
as
top
and
then
we
had
environmental
protection,
public
transport,
climate
change,
resilience,
planning,
active,
sustainable
travel
planning
for
population
growth
and
then
housing,
affordability
and
traffic
flows.
So
there
was
a
number
that
were
quite
similar
in
nature
and
we've
tried
to
look
at
those
across
those
themes
and
bring
to
the
table.
B
From
the
junior
youth
council,
we
had
about
70
participants
on
that
day
for
the
workshop,
and
it
was
a
series
of
workshops
that
took
place
on
that
day,
not
just
on
the
corporate
plan.
The
top
themes
are
before
you:
climate
change,
cost
of
living,
tertiary
education,
accessible
public
transport,
so
those
were
their
top
four
themes
from
the
junior
youth
council.
B
So
first
one
is
transport
and
you
can
see
there
are
a
variety
of
commentary
comments
made
from
the
community
and
youth
around
transport
in
terms
of
this
particular
feedback.
Currently
we
feel
that
because
we
do
have
a
transport
strategy
and
it's
under
review,
that
all
of
those
issues
can
be
addressed
through
that
mechanism.
B
That
already
exists,
and
there
are
already
outcomes
in
the
corporate
plan
that
relate
to
transport,
so
we're
not
proposing
any
changes
for
transport
at
this
stage,
but
obviously
all
the
results
of
the
consultation
will
go
to
the
transport
team,
so
they
can
consider
those
as
part
of
that
review
in
terms
of
environmental
protection.
Again
we
have
a
natural
city
strategy
and
we
have
a
number
of
plans
and
programs
already
in
progress
across
the
city.
B
B
One
of
the
big
areas
of
feedback
was
particularly
from
the
youth
council,
but
also
from
the
general
community
was
around
housing
and
affordability
and
the
population
growth.
So
one
of
the
things
we're
proposing
is,
under
the
liberal
places
theme
that
we
actually
pull
that
out
and
be
more
specific
around
that
outcome
and
talk
about
planning
city
growth
to
have
sufficient
capacity
in
types
of
housing
to
meet
future
needs.
B
Now
that
work
is
already
underway
in
the
city,
but
it's
actually
calling
this
out
as
a
priority
for
our
plan
in
relation
to
climate
change,
we
already
have
an
outcome
around
climate
mitigation
and
adaption
in
the
corporate
plan
under
resilience.
Under
the
level
places
theme,
there
was
a
fair
bit
of
feedback
about
planning
for
the
city,
so
we're
proposing
that
we
pull
a
new,
a
new
outcome
into
the
one
city
theme
around
addressing
climate
change
challenges
through
practical
solutions,
and
that
one
city
theme
is
about
really
about
the
city
working
together,
collaboratively
collaboratively.
B
B
B
We've
changed
the
icon
around
thriving
economy
in
terms
of
connected
community
we've
changed
the
wording
slightly
attachment
two
actually
goes
through
all
the
wording
changes
in
detail,
but
we've
talked
in
talking
about
supporting
our
lifestyle
rather
than
choice
of
lifestyle
in
terms
of
one
city,
we've
changed
that
wording
to
reflect
more
about
partnerships
and
advocacy,
and
the
fact
that
the
city
needs
to
actually
be
working
together,
but
obviously
advocating
to
all
levels
of
government
and
other
peak
bodies
in
terms
of
addressing
our
challenges
and
opportunities.
B
In
terms
of
the
council
plan
and
that's
probably
the
biggest
change
we're
proposing
to
make
and
of
the
bigger
changes,
we
have
been
calling
this
the
draft
corporate
plan
we're
proposing
to
change
the
name
to
council
plan.
Now,
that's
really
to
reflect,
I
guess
the
the
intent
of
the
plan.
One
of
the
bits
of
feedback
we
had
on
the
corporate
plan
was
that
people
didn't
always
understand
what
corporate
the
corporate
plan
was
and
they
thought
it
might
be
more
about
the
organization,
not
the
city,
so
we're
changing
it
to
council
plan
to
reflect
that.
B
It's
an
outwardly
facing
plan,
it's
council's
plan
for
the
next
five
years.
Other
changes
in
there
include
a
slight
move
of
one
of
the
outcomes
on
the
left.
There
moving
the
best
place
to
live
just
down
the
list,
so
it
hasn't
changed
at
all.
Just
moved
to
placement,
we've
added
a
couple
of
measures
around
community
infrastructure,
accessibility,
visitation
and
satisfaction
with
arts
and
culture,
we've
added
an
outcome
and
a
new
measure.
Sorry
on
digital
connectivity
and
that's
talking
about
next
generation
connectivity
in
the
city.
B
We've
added
the
livable
places
theme
around
city
growth
to
ensure
housing,
supply
and
capacity,
and
we've
actually
added
change
slightly
the
residential
growth
measure
and
also
the
resource
and
recovery
waste
measure.
We
just
renamed
that,
in
terms
of
one
city,
we've
added
the
climate
change
outcome,
we
talked
about
and
added
a
measure
to
support
that.
B
So
those
are
the
proposed
changes
in
terms
of
the
gold
coast,
water
and
waste
performance
plans
here
and
objectives
and
significant
business
activities.
That's
just
a
grammatical
change.
A
comment
was
added
to
that
slide
in
terms
of
measures
of
success.
We've
made
some
changes
as
I
described
earlier.
These
are
currently
our
measures
of
success
and
in
the
attachment
you'll
have
not
only
the
measures
but
the
baselines
and
targets.
Some
of
these
measures
are
new
about.
B
50
of
them
are
new
measures
and
we're
looking
to
establish
baselines
in
the
first
year
of
council
plan
to
then
and
target
so
we're
setting
those
as
we
go
through
the
year.
We're
not
currently
measuring
some
of
those
those
aspects
in
terms
of
publication.
Should
the
council
plan
be
adopted
if
we
published
on
the
city's
website
and
we'll
be
linking
to
existing
web
content?
Now,
the
the
form
of
the
document
means
we'll
be
able
to,
as
part
of
the
annual
review,
update
this
in
a
really
timely
manner.
B
The
other
thing
that
that
is
has
come
through
the
feedback.
Is
our
previous
corporate
plan
trying
to
open
that
smart
devices
was
practically
impossible.
This
will
be
able
to
open
all
smart
devices
so
we're
looking
at
whether
it's
phones
or
other
smart
tablets,
so
we're
actually
looking
to
try
and
improve
accessibility
to
this
documentation
and
to
the
plan.
B
In
terms
of
what
happens
from
here,
if
the
corporate
plan
obviously
is
adopted,
we'll
be
looking
then
to
augment
that
investment
schedule
we
currently
have
in
the
city
operational
plan,
significant
activities
for
the
year
ahead
for
the
corporate
plan.
I
think
we
have
113
million
43
activities,
we're
going
to
be
building
that
out
in
terms
of
the
five
year
picture
through
our
capex
opex
programs
working
with
the
organization,
we'll
also
be
bringing
back
to
you.
The
process
for
that
annual
review
and
there'll
be
progress,
reporting
on
a
quarterly
basis
to
council.
A
Anyone
got
any
question
before
slide:
five
yep,
okay,
counselor
call
well.
C
My
question
is
related
to
the
data
and
whether
it
was
whether
we
were
able
to
measure
it
in
a
way
that
makes
it
statistically
accurate.
So,
for
example,
do
we
know
the
age
and
you
know
job
or
interests
of
the
people
that
gave
the
survey
results
so
that
we
can
actually
normalize
the
data
and
verify
that
it's
an
accurate
representation
of
the
city.
B
There
are
obviously,
I
think
over
25
000
people
on
the
panel
and
it
may
have
it
will
have
gone
to
panel
members,
but
others
may
have
completed
it
and
some
of
those
people
be
within
the
city.
Some
will
be
outside
the
city,
it
isn't
just
restricted
to
our
city
in
terms
of
age
and
location.
Obviously,
you'll
see
in
the
back
of
the
report.
B
There
are
some
location,
specific
data
in
there
in
terms
of
back
down
to
postcodes,
but
obviously
it
does
depend
whether
people
feel
that
data
in
so
we
can't
require
them
to
fill
in
the
age
and
gender.
Those
things
we
ask
to
collect,
but
we
can't
necessarily
require
that
every
time
they
do
a
survey,
but
we
do
hope
that
we
we
get
a
fairly
good
response
to
that.
Yes,.
C
So
I'm
just
concerned
that
it's
not
statistically
robust
or
defensible
if,
for
example,
I
don't
know
one
particular,
I
was
going
to
say
hockey
club
in
labrador,
but
I
won't
say
that
one
particular
soccer
club
in
runaway
bay
says
well.
We
are
really
concerned
about
the
environment
because
our
fields
continue
to
flood.
C
B
Through
the
map,
I
think
that
the
the
surveys
I
say
is
what
we
are
doing
routinely.
As
I
said.
If
we
wanted
to
get
statistically
significant
by
age
and
gender,
we
would
have
need
to
run
a
completely
different
process
for
that,
probably
through
an
outsourced
agency.
This
is
running
been
running
through
our
corporate
comms
branch.
We
have
got
breakdowns
by
age
and
gender.
We
can
certainly
provide
you
with
a
view
about
statistical
significance
in
terms
of
the
number
of
surveys
there
are
over
a
thousand
here.
B
I
know
that
if
you're
looking
at
a
population
the
population
we
have,
if
you
were
going
to
stratify,
that
by
age
and
gender
for
the
city,
you'd
probably
look
be
looking
about
four
to
five
hundred
responses.
So
this
is
double
that
number,
but
in
terms
of
responses
there
will
be
people
outside
the
city
as
there
are
for
all
our
engagements
and
they
will
be
different
portions
of
the
city
represented
so,
for
instance,
we
may
get
more
responses
from
the
north
or
the
west,
the
south
and
the
east.
B
C
And
just
at
the
outset
of
the
data,
I
have
some
concerns
about
that,
because
it
seems
to
me
that
it's
very,
very
heavily
skewed
in
a
certain
direction
of
response,
which
I
I
can't
substantiate
through
this
data
as
being
reflective
of
the
actual
views
of
a
portion
of
the
like
a
reflective
portion
of
the
650
000
people
that
live
in
our
city
yeah.
So
so
that's
that's
my
concern
at
the
outset.
So.
A
I'll
follow
up
from
that
concern
then,
to
the
ceo.
You
know
this
is
before
us
today
to
drill
further
and
say
in
12
months
time
to
adopt
the
next
five
years
called
I
mean
you
can
revise
so
what
I'm
getting
at
mr
ceo,
the
pathway
there.
We
can
have
drill
further
data
or
even
use
other
other
outside
consultancy
or
whatever
it
may
be.
My
point
is:
we
can
re-have
this
five-year
plan
review
in
12
months
time
am
I
right
no
need
sorry.
D
Through
you,
yes,
mr
mayor,
but
just
make
one
other
point,
I
think
the
other
thing
to
consider
in
relation
to
this
work
is
that
this
was
the
final
step
of
review.
We
didn't
build
the
plan
based
on
this
single
piece
of
consultation
really
and
not,
but
notwithstanding
that
what
this
console
station
did
say,
it
was
broadly
supportive
and
consistent
with
the
views
that
were
captured
in
the
plan
and
the
process.
That's
been
ongoing
now
for
about
six
or
eight
months.
E
I'm
very
very
intrigued
by
the
suggestion
that
we
have
not
captured
a
broadly
representative
view
of
the
gold
coast
based
on
the
number
of
potential
outside
submissions
and
also
the
breakdown
of
geographic
quadrant.
So,
for
example,
and
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong,
this
may
throw
you
to
sarah.
But
from
what
I
understand,
only
three
percent
of
responses
came
from
the
western
quadrant.
Three
percent
is
that
right.
B
I
would
check
I
have
to
check,
but
yes,
ups
leads
in
the
rift
it's
in
the
report.
Absolutely
there
are
differences
between
segments
absolutely.
E
So
city,
I
think,
when
we're
looking
at
the
corpus
of
submissions
from
within
the
city-
and
one
quarter
of
the
city
is
only
represented
by
three
percent
of
submissions.
That
for
me
begins
to
raise
some
alarm
bells
and
I'm
not
suggesting
that
the
process
is
wrong.
What
I'm
suggesting
is
perhaps
the
weight
we
give
to
this
process
in
terms
of
changes
to
the
plan
is
wrong,
so
it
could
be
that
between
now
and
full
council,
we've
got
some
part
back
potential
changes.
This
is
just
my
thinking,
but
just.
A
Let
me
just
put
a
I'm
not
saying
what
you're
saying
is
incorrect,
but
decisions
are
made
by
those
who
turn
up.
So
you
know
so
in
in
just
just
saying
with
what's
before
us
with
have
your
say
scenario,
those
who
are
interested.
You
know
we've
taken
on
board
their
their
comment
and
those
who
happy
everything's
good.
Well,
that's.
E
That's
where
we
are
so,
mr
mel,
I
think
quite
often,
for
example,
with
planning
or
development
application
decisions.
If
we
had
to
take
that
approach.
In
my
view,
next
to
nothing
would
progress
in
the
city,
because
the
number
of
dissenting
submissions
to
a
development
application
always
outweigh
the
number
of
positive
submissions.
E
So
instead
for
me
it's
about
looking
at
the
number
of
submissions,
so
it's
178
for
a
development
in
palm
beach,
for
example
against
the
number
of
people
who
live
across
the
gold
coast
and
the
the
merit
of
the
arguments
that
are
being
put
forward.
So,
if
I
take
the
approach
I
use
with
a
planning
application
to
the
approach
I
take
here
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
only
those
who
turn
up
make
decisions.
E
I
still
think
we
can't
ignore
my
personal
view.
Do
we
have
a
sense,
mr
may,
through
you
to
sarah
of
the
1000,
odd
submissions,
how
many
came
from
outside
of
the
city.
E
B
We've
included
those
responses
in
here
in
terms
of
some
of
those
people
maybe
may
have
may
have
used.
I
guess,
have
addresses
outside
the
city.
Have
businesses
in
the
city,
so
it's
hard
to
to
actually
ascertain,
I
guess
their
role
in
the
city.
They
may
still
have
a
vital
role
in
in
terms
of
city
in
terms
of
the
city
and
the
residency
here
or
their
engagement
with
it.
E
Right,
mr
mayor,
you
may
recall
well,
we've
heard
today
that
this
was
primarily
pushed
through.
Our
city
plan
was
sorry,
not
our
city
plan.
Gc,
have
you
say
platform
and
similarly,
councillors
were
encouraged
to
get
their
communities
to
participate
in
the
process
good
to
see
robina
there
with
76
responses,
for
example,
and
varsity.
What
an
engaged
community.
E
But,
mr
mayor,
I
just
wonder
through
you
to
sarah
and
or
perhaps
better
through
you
to
the
ceo,
whether
our
web
services
team
can
have
a
look
at
the
referrer
urls
that
drove
traffic
to
the
actual
survey
page.
So,
for
example,
if
I
visit
you
know,
the
gc
have
your
say
forward:
slash
corporate
plan
website,
because
I've
clicked
a
link
in
an
email.
E
The
fact
that
I've
clicked
that
specific
link
should
be
recorded
in
our
web
logs
and
give
us
an
idea
of
who
or
which
community
groups
may
have
driven
traffic
to
the
survey
and
I'm
interested
in
that.
Because
I
mean
I
ask
my
community
to
have
have
their
sound
social
media.
Obviously
they've
responded,
but
if
there
are
community
groups
with
vested
interests
or
a
particular
lens
driving
traffic
to
the
gc,
have
your
say.
E
D
D
It's
not
the
sole
determining
factor
on
the
changes
that
were
proposed
for
the
for
this
for
the
final
version-
and
I
think
mr
mayor
might
be
worth
sarah
just
talking
to
what
are
some
of
the
other
data
points
that
we
used
in
order
to
make
these
changes,
because
I
think,
if
there's
a
perception
that
we
just
took
this
as
a
straw
poll
on
the
on
the
plan
and
made
changes
directly
in
that.
That
is
not
the
case.
So
so.
Mr.
E
May
just
to
give
the
co
some
comfort,
I
don't
labor
under
that
assumption
whatsoever
and
in
fact,
when
I
read
the
report,
what
I
would
give
most
weight
to
is
that
livability
survey,
which
was
actually
statistically
robust,
which
talked
a
lot
about
using
traffic
congestion,
for
example.
But
what
makes
me
inherently
suspicious?
E
Not
that
I'm
saying
there's
a
conspiracy,
but
the
things
that
make
me
question
the
interpretation
of
the
data
and
how
it's
sort
of
filtered
down
into
the
corporate
plan
is.
There
doesn't
seem
to
be
talk
of
easing
congestion
and
lowering
traffic
times,
which
I
understand
to
be
a
priority
of
my
community.
E
We
just
have
a
single
bullet
point
in
the
corporate
plan
that
talks
about
travel
time
reliability.
Now
I
can
reliably
travel
to
my
kids.
Kindergarten
takes
me
an
hour
to
go
three
kilometers.
I
can
reliably
do
that.
It'll
take
me
an
hour
every
day,
but
my
sense
is
that
the
community
wants
that
commute
cut
shorter
and
I,
when
I
look
at
this
qualitative
feedback,
I'm
not
seeing
that
borne
out,
I
mean
to
see
roads
and
parking
together
rate
four
percent
of
of
mentions
just
yeah.
B
Thank
you,
I
think
through
the
mayor.
I
think
one
of
the
other
pieces
was
the
report
that
was
referred
to
earlier,
which
was
the
community
abuse
report
2021,
where
housing
was
identified
as
an
example
as
the
top
issue
to
improve
for
the
city
through
that
survey.
So
that's
with
the
rationale
one
of
the
rationales
for
including
housing
in
there.
Not
only
did
it
come
up
in
this
feedback,
but
it
came
up
as
part
of
that
survey
which
you
write
was
statistically
statistically
significant
from
that
external
agency.
B
So
in
terms
of
the
housing
piece,
I
think
that's
where
we
are
in
terms
of
transport.
I'll
just
address
the
question
about
reliability,
so
the
measure
and
reliability
and
now
there's
a
bit
more
detail
in
the
report.
That's
actually
measuring
eight
key
strategic
road
corridors.
Two
directions
have
traveled
two
peak
periods,
six
to
ten
three
to
seven
and
they've
got
eight
road
corridors
christine
avenue,
european
parkway
street
sunshine,
boulevard,
gold
coast,
highway,
ashmore,
road,
the
gulf
coast,
highway,
southport
domain
beach
and
yuwelpa
road.
B
So
there's
very
specific
measurements
here
for
these
metrics,
which
have
all
been
developed
to
support
the
plan,
and
obviously
the
council
can
consider
those
as
we
go
forward
and
if
there's
additional
metrics
that
are
needed,
absolutely
those
can
be
considered
in
terms
of
the
outcome
relating
to
the
proposed
change
for
climate
change.
Obviously,
resilience
is
clearly
in
our
plan
already
and
it
has
been
since
the
draft
was
developed.
It
was
more
the
the
planning
that
was,
we
felt
needed
to
be
incorporated
into
the
plan.
B
B
Obviously
it's
come
through
the
survey
and
I
think
in
terms
of
the
feedback,
I
recognize
the
numbers,
but
in
terms
of
the
north,
south,
east
and
west
feedback
on
the
themes,
the
open
question,
the
four
top
a
very
similar,
regardless
of
the
number
of
responses
for
those
four
quadrants
of
the
city.
There
is
quite
a
bit
of
overlap
in
those
and,
for
example,
the
climate
one
came
up
in
as
in
the
top
four
for
all
quadrants
of
the
city.
In
that
space,
but
the
city's
already
doing
a
lot
in
that
space.
E
So
just
have
one
question,
but
if
I
could
just
clarify
the
greenhouse
gases,
I've
no
problem
with
climate
resilience,
absolutely
no,
no
problem!
You
know
just
look
at
what's
happening
with
our
sports
fields.
At
the
moment,
council
called
referred
to
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
can
respond
to
drought,
fire
flood
not
only
to
protect
property,
but
life
totally
get
that,
but
a
move
to
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
for
me
is
a
quantum
leap
in
terms
of
our
response.
E
E
D
Mr
ceo,
so
with
respect
council,
I
think
you've
made
a
quantum
leap
to
net
zero
that
that's
not
what's
in
the
plan.
The
plan
is
deliberately,
I
don't
want
to
say
vague,
but
it's
physically
open
to
the
question
about
what
that
measure
should
be
about
greenhouse
gas
emissions
is
just
saying
it's
a
placeholder
to
say
now.
We
need
to
go
away
and
do
some
work
and
find
out
what
the
right
target
is
for
the
city.
D
So
I
accept
what
you've
said
that
that
there
is
a
shift
in
the
plan
and
to
put
it
in
there
is,
is
a
step,
but
it's
not
quite
the
leap
that
I
think
you've
just
described.
We're
not
we're
not
suggesting
net
zero
for
the
city.
Now,
what
we're
saying
is
that
we
need
a
measure
there
and
we
need
to
do
the
work
to
figure
out
what
that
target
should
be
for
the
city
all
right
thanks
and
that
will
probably
require
some
better
direction
from
canberra
over
the
next
few
months.
So.
E
Through
you,
mr
smith,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
co
for
that.
I
think
that's
precisely
the
message
that
needs
to
appear
on
that
slide
and
not
need
further
explanation,
and
my
last
question,
which
really
talks
to
that
is.
Mr
mayor
threw
you
to
the
city
solicitor.
E
The
corporate
plan
is
the
overarching
policy
document
for
the
council
and
all
strategies
and
plans.
As
I
understand
it,
have
to
align
with
the
corporate
plan
corporal
plans.
A
statutory
document
requires
consultation
when
council
makes
a
decision
that
does
not
align
with
a
policy
we're
required
in
our
resolution
to
explain
why
we
have
made
a
decision
contrary
to
policy.
E
D
I'll
go
first!
That's
right!
I'm
sorry!
I
think,
by
its
very
nature,
corporate
plans
of
this
of
this
kind
have
priorities
that
compete
with
each
other,
because
equally
you've
raised
the
beach
bars.
I
could
point
to
a
thriving
economy
as
a
as
a
pillar
that
we
would
use
to
to
justify
or
to
to
align
to
the
strategy.
So
I
don't
think
it's
quite
as
simple
as
saying
oh
by
having
x,
then
you
can't
do
y.
D
If
you
you
would
be
aware
and
counselors
would
be
aware,
that
all
papers
have
alignment
to
strategy
written
in
them
and
we
will
be
continuing
to
do
that.
It's
just
that.
This
time
we
will
have
a
new
set
of
pillars
for
which
we
align
to,
but
that's
the
nature
of
corporate
planning.
There
are
always
objectives
that
compete
with
each
other
and
it's
the
role
of
council
on
the
advice
from
us
to
to
make
a
decision
about
which
priority
you
want
to
prioritize.
E
I
wouldn't
want
any
bullet
point
to
be
misconstrued
by
particular
community
groups,
to
tie
us
up
to
specific
obligations
and
then
face
criticism
or
complaint
if
we're
not
living
up
to
it.
So
if
the
move
towards
greenhouse
gas
emission
tracking
is
merely
about
council
understanding
its
appetite
to
act
in
that
space,
and
if
the
corporate
plan
acknowledges
that
there
are
competing
priorities
that
will
be
held
in
tension
that
are
much
more
comfortable
than
being
stuck
on
any
black
and
white
bullet
point.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah
so
I've
through
you,
mr
may,
I'm
happy
to
go
away
and
ensure
that
that's
reflected.
A
What
what
I'm
saying
is
we
can
add
as
item
eight
yep,
okay,
you
know
and
so
counselors.
What
what
I'm
saying
to
the
ceo
is
when
we
go
to
recommendation
we'll,
add
an
item
eight
to
reflect
those
comments
so
that
when
we
actually
take
the
recommendation
to
to
the
vote,
it's
reflect.
So
if
you
can
draft
some
of
that,
we'll
have
a
you
know,
five-minute
break
or
whatever
I'm
sure
you
know,
this
is
gonna
run
over
for
lunch
and
all
that
sort
of
stuff.
A
So
you
know
plenty
of
time,
but
we'll
get
it
right.
So
it's
a
time
to
do
it,
and
that
gives
us
the
overarching
recommendations.
So
we
can
adopt
and
have
some
flexibility,
counselor
peter
young.
You,
mr.
F
I
think
it's
relevant
to
note
that
this
graph
is
teal
and
in
the
context
of
the
recent
federal
election.
I
think
the
message
is
quite
clear
from
the
broader
community
across
the
nation
that
they
want
some
action
and
on
climate
change
issues,
and
I
remind
councillors
that
this
council,
in
fact
had
a
policy
and
a
strategy
to
achieve
carbon
emission
zero
status
by
2018,
and
that
was
subsequently
abandoned.
F
A
I
think
those
teal
people
hop
on
the
bandwagon
because
we're
one
of
the
greenest
mayor
in
all
the
land.
I
mean
council
some
stage,
so
you
know
we're
is
success,
has
many
fathers
and
mothers
and
and
as
you
can
see-
and
they
see
the
gold
coast
second
largest
budget
council
in
all
of
the
land
and
they
left
go?
No,
I'm
saying
it
because
that's
what
it
is,
but
anyhow
I'll
go
to
council,
patterson
and
council
gates.
G
What
is
it
page
23.
so
with
the
second
one
we've
got,
we
are
a
safe,
active
and
healthy
community.
G
If
I
had
three
questions,
do
I
want
a
safe
community,
an
active
community
or
a
healthy
community
and
prioritize
those
they're
all
incredibly
different?
So
when
someone
answers
that,
how
do
I
know
if
they're
they're
thinking-
oh
yes,
safe?
Thank
you
or
oh,
yes,
active.
B
I
think
when
people
were
talking
about
when
we
originally
talked
to
yourselves
and
others
about
the
corporate
plan,
as
we
drafted
this
and
then
obviously
the
consultation,
one
of
the
things
that
came
through
was
people
connected,
very
much
being
active
and
healthy
as
being
safe
because
being
out
and
about
in
the
city.
One
of
the
things
we
talked
about
earlier
was
the
the
top
outcome
was
around
being
out
and
about
beaches,
parks,
parks
and
natural
areas
for
people
to
feel
safe
to
be
able
to
be
active
and
healthy
for
a
lot
of
them.
B
They
need
to
feel
safe
being
about
particularly
alone.
One
of
the
questions
about
being
out
and
about
at
night
is
that
people
don't
always
feel
safe
at
night,
but
they
do
feel
safe
in
their
neighborhoods,
and
one
of
the
measures
we
have
in
the
corporate
plan
is
about
being
feeling
safe
in
your
neighborhood
being
safe
in
your
neighborhood
has
a
really
strong
connection
with
being
able
to
be
out
active
and
being
healthy,
and
so
there
is
a
there.
B
A
G
Yeah,
that's
what
that's
what
I
hear
and
that's
what
I
would
have
expected,
but
it's
not
actually
what
was
written
so
I'll
I'll
assume
that's
effectively
safety,
which
means
you
can
go
outside,
which
is
correct,
pretty
obvious!
Okay!
Thank
you.
The
second
thing
I
just
wanted
through
you,
mr
mayor
to
the
ceo
who's,
made
the
comment
that
this
is
just
a
piece
at
the
end,
I'd
have
to
say
I'm
pre
two
years
in
the
job,
I'm
pretty
frustrated
that
I
seem
to
have
conversations
at
every
single
time.
G
We
are
doing
some
kind
of
research
methodology
on
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
a
rigorous,
independent
research
methodology
on
some
things.
That's
okay
and
have
your
say,
certainly
has
its
place,
but
for
something
like
this,
that's
going
to
define
where
we
go
to
say:
oh,
look,
it's
a
thing
right
at
the
end,
that's
not!
Okay!
We
have
been
raising
these
issues
for
a
while.
I
don't
understand
why
you
know
the
first
thing
you
come
up
and
say:
is
that
this
isn't
representative?
Well,
what
is
the
point
of
it
then?
G
G
A
You
know
it's,
it's
not
I'm
pretty
sure
that
he's
he's
uncovering
things
that
you've
had
two
years
to
see,
but
over.
D
To
you:
well,
I
guess
my
my
simple
answer.
Counselors.
I
think
it's
a
point
well
made
and
I
will
add
it
to
the
list
of
things
that
I'm
looking
at
at
the
moment,
but
but
I
I
think,
you're
right.
I
also
think
it's
important
to
remember.
As
you've
indicated
there
are
times
when
you
want
the
highly
expensive,
detailed
consultation
with
very
rigorous
rigorous
methodology,
and
there
are
other
times
when,
when
you
don't
so,
I
think
some
I
accept
and
acknowledge
that
further
works
required
in
this
space
and
it
goes
on
the
list.
G
Okay
and
I'm
sorry
yeah,
okay,
just
the
third
final
point
just
to
follow
up
on
the
my
my
question
regarding
the
climate
change.
Sorry,
my
understanding
is.
This
is
the
first
time
we've
seen
that
language
in
documents.
So
could
you
just
tell
me
what
you
mean
by
that
in
terms
of
because
when
you
say
climate
resilience,
I
understand,
but
climate
change
kind
of
occurs
a
whole
a
whole
world
of
other
stuff.
So
when
I
see
the
word
climate
change
in
there,
what
am
I
meant
to
understand
that
you
mean.
B
Through
the
map,
this
outcome
is
really
about
addressing
the
the
challenges
facing
the
city
specifically
and
some
of
those
the
council
has
already
considered
so,
for
instance,
coastal
adoption.
You
already
have
a
coastal
adoption
plan.
Carbon
abatement
we
know,
has
already
been
considered
by
council.
So
it's
about
identifying
those
challenges
but
also
opportunities
facing
the
city.
There
may
be
opportunities
in
the
economy
economic
space,
so
it's
really
about
looking
forward
and
those
challenges
and
opportunities
that
may
present
themselves
and
how
the
city
will
work
with
partners
across
the
city
to
address
those.
B
So
that's
that's
what
I
meant
by
that
outcome,
and
obviously
it
is
a
late
entry
in
terms
of
this
particular
plan
based
on
the
community
feedback
and
further
work
is
going
to
need
to
be
done
to
actually
work
through
what
actions.
But
I
know
that
the
the
res
the
recommendation
on
the
outcome
talks
about
practical
actions,
so
we're
talking
about
what
can
the
city
do
a
practical
way
to
actually
address
those
opportunities
and
risks
that
may
be
facing
the
city
and
some
of
those
are
already
entrained.
A
Okay,
so,
let's
just
just
a
second
on
on
the
climate
change,
it
was
first
race,
I
think,
from
memory
2013
budget.
A
There
was
a
line
item
there
and
I
recall
that
to
do
a
climate
change
report,
I'm
not
sure
whether
it's
over
two
years
or
whatever
it
is.
It
was
around
1.3
million
dollars
and-
and
I
looked
at
it-
had
the
same
similar
thought
process
as
you're
having
now
and
I
just
wrote
out
and
said,
the
climate
will
change
next
year,
end
of
report
and
we
crossed
it
out.
A
H
Thanks,
mr
mayor,
I
I
do
question
some
of
these
percentages,
but
I
mean
that's
the
information
before
us
and,
and
so
we
need
to,
I
suppose,
be
guided
by
it.
I
really
I
wanted
to
this
sounds
very
minor
and
picky,
but
on
page
108,
is
there
an
intention
to
include
those
city
aspiration
statements
as
part
of
the
new
plan?
B
Through
them,
yes,
the
intention
is,
they
are
they
attach
to
gold
coast
2032
and
they
provide
more
depth
about
the
city
vision
and,
what's
meant
by
the
city
vision,
they
came
to
council.
I
think
the
last
time
around
and
I've
been
out
to
the
community.
H
I
Thank
you.
So
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on
this
resilience
and
to
me
it's
about
actually
quantifying
the
practical
things
the
city
can
do
so
I'll.
Look
at
what
we've
done
today
and
whether
or
not
it
is
gas
capture
from
our
landfill
or
if
it's
solar
panels
that
we're
installing
to
reduce
the
consumption
or,
if
it's,
the
just
the
fundamental
reason.
Why
we're
backing
light
rail
is
modal
shift
of
to
get
people
out
of
cars
and
away
from
road
sewers
and
into
a
more
sensible
way
to
move
people
around
a
city.
I
So
to
me
I
don't
think
we
should
necessarily
be
afraid
of
the
words
you
know,
climate
change
or
climate
resilience
or
what.
However,
you
package
it
to
me
it's
about
explaining
what
are
the
things
that
this
city
can
actually
do
and
how
we're
doing
them
and
and
emphasizing
that,
so
that,
as
long
as
that's
the
direction
we're
heading
in,
I
think
that's
the
right
direction
in
terms
of
the
community
consultation,
the
quality
of
feedback
locally.
I
I
and
I
pick
up
on
what
council
of
oster
said
in
regards
to
four
percent
or
three
percent
coming
from
the
the
western
quadrant.
Like
I
mean
I,
I
think
the
reality
is
that
the
top
you
know
five
or
ten
to
me,
aren't
too
big
as
surprise,
regardless
of
where
they've
come
from
so
so
I
think
we're
we.
We
represent
a
quarter
of
the
the
city
each
and
so
we've
we've
all
got.
I
You
know
I
think
I
had
about
50
or
so
submissions
that
appear
to
have
come
from
the
suburbs
that
I
represent,
which
is
slightly
less
than
I
think
council
of
worcester
accommodated
twice
twice
that
number
from
the
area
that
that
he
led
so,
but
I
think
that
we
just
need
to
accept
the
data
that's
before
us
and
see
how
we
can
make
it
work.
A
Before
you
go
to
the
question
which
we
will
go
there,
I
just
want
to
add
to
some
of
the
items
you
mentioned
regarding
things
we've
done
for
climate
resilience
or
change
on.
A
On
top
of
that,
it's
a
major
resource
and
volunteers
that
we've,
I
think,
council
boards
will
be
able
to
tell
me
it's
around
650
000
trees
in
in
in
two
terms,
and
so
and
and
we'll
continue
with
that,
and
I
think
that
that's
quite
a
significant
thing
that
we
do
and
the
the
the
move
to
have
open
space
dedicated
from
our
city
above
50
of
green
space
and
how
part
of
the
planning
and
that
I
think
we
have
really
pick
our
game
up
regarding
climate
resilience,
last
change,
and
so
I
I
don't
want
the
viewers
out
there
feel
that
it
was
only
gesture
that
we
we
put
solar
panels
on
43
of
our
buildings
pimping.
A
My
pool
is
off
the
grid
on
all
the
and
all
that
and
we're
doing
spending
a
lot
of
money
on
our
recycle
and
initiatives
and
we're
gonna
do
a
lot
more.
So,
as
far
as
climate
resilience
concern
as
a
council,
I'm
I'm
pleased
that
you
flagged
it
and
and
that
we
will
go
much
further
than
before.
A
I
think
the
concern
is
that
the
debates
on
climate
change
worldwide,
it's
more
so
on
global
warming
and
all
that
sort
of
stuff
and,
as
council
divorced,
pointed
out
that
that's
not
quite
in
our
space
until
the
federal
government
makes
decisions
and
and
state
government
follow
on
with
that,
and
then
us,
the
third
tier
of
government,
will
do
our
input
in
the
interim
we'll
do
what
we
can
already
to
make
sure
that
our
lifestyle
is
continue
and
that
we
are
very
responsible.
A
So
I
just
want
to
add
to
that,
as
you
add
to
the
the
wording
of
climate
change
or
climate
resilient.
So
as
we
move
forward
together,
I
think
we'll
we'll
outline
even
clearer
the
the
past
the
journey
we're
taking
forward.
I
I
100,
it
was
just
a
question
in
regards
to
there's
some
words
there
around
confident
and
proud,
and
we
love
the
huge
bear
country
for
its
culture
and
heritage,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
got
that
right.
My
understanding
was
it
was
you
can
bear
language
group,
but
the,
but
the
country
actually
isn't
eugen
bear.
I
So
I
think
that
we
just
need
to
be
really
careful,
because
I
think
that
we've
actually
got
so
to
the
majority
of
the
gold
coast,
maybe
cummerberry
land,
but
so
I
just
think
that
it's
the
right
direction
and
clearly
I
have
personal
view
that
we're
going
to
be
in
this
space
a
lot
in
the
next
couple
of
years
at
a
federal
level,
but
I
think
that
it
would
be
it
would
be
disappointing.
A
All
right,
council,
callwell.
C
B
C
C
I
don't
know
whether
we
should
be
setting
an
expectation
that
we're
going
to
start
measuring
that
I
don't
know
how
much
that
would
cost
or
whether
we
even
have
the
capacity
to
do
it.
So
I
just
think
we
should
be
a
bit
careful
about
that
and
it
sort
of
follows
on
from
what
council
erin
jones
said
that
maybe
there's
better
more
deliverable
measurements.
If
you
like.
A
Just
just
pause
paul:
do
you
want
to
come
up
there
for
a
minute?
Thank
you.
J
Through
you,
mr
mayor,
we
don't
actually
measure
greenhouse
gas
emissions
or
carbon
you
actually
plug
in
a
number
of
formulas
and
and
calculate
it
and
it's
based
on
energy
usage
or
how
many
vehicles
and
kilometers
you
travel
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
So
it's
a
relatively
benign
and
low
cost
approach,
but
it
is
a
a
defined
framework
with
formulas
that
are
established
by
state
federal
government,
et
cetera,.
A
Et
cetera
so
director
eden,
then,
is
it
mean
it's
like
a
benchmark?
Let's
say
you
did
one
this
year
and
same
formula
and
with
all
the
work
that
you've
you're
trying
to
achieve
and
what
are
the
parameters
and
you
plug
in
the
same
thing,
and
you
just
do
a
basically
another
health
check
against
the
previous
benchmark.
Is
that
the
the
how
we
can
measure
it
on
that.
J
That's
that's
essentially
it,
mr
mayor.
We
currently
report
greenhouse
gas
emissions
for
the
water
and
sewage
business
because
we
are
required
to
under
national
environmental
regulations.
So
we
already
do
it
for
half
the
business
so
again
and
we
do
that
on
an
annual
basis
and
that
is
actually
published
publicly.
C
J
Look,
I
I
think
it
is,
but
again
it's
it's
simply
formulated
driven
yeah.
It
would
be
the
same,
we're
not
there's.
No,
no.
Nobody
goes
out
and
actually
measures
greenhouse
gas.
C
J
C
J
There's
a
large
basket,
the
biggest
is
carbon
dioxide,
and
essentially
the
the
reporting
mechanism
is
in
carbon
dioxide
equivalents
or
carbon
equivalents
now
I'll
get
it
wrong.
I'm
trying
to
think
of
methane
is
is
a
large
greenhouse
gas
yeah
and
methane,
for
example,
is
30
times
worse
per
volume
than
carbon
dioxide,
in
terms
of
it
being
a
greenhouse
gas
wow.
J
But
methane
is
significant
from
our
landfills
and
from
our
treatment
plants
and
then
there's
nitrous
oxide,
which
is
also
produced
from
our
treatment
plants,
and
that
is
300
times
more
significant
per
weight
than
carbon
dioxide.
C
D
Thank
you
so
just
adding
to
the
director's
comments
so
where
the
meat
hits
the
bone,
though
counts
like
or
the
rubbing
it's
the
road,
I
should
say
is
wrong
is
in
targets
in
in
the
target.
That's
the
point
yeah.
So
it's
it's
the
development
of
the
target
for
the
city
and
for
the
city
administration,
which
is
which
is
where
we're
going
to
get
so
we
mentioned
zero
net
zero
when
the
city
would
be
willing
to
or
able
to
get
to
net
zero.
D
E
A
How
about
can
you
send
it
yeah,
two
minute
taker
and
then
put
up
on
the
screen?
While
we
have
a
break
and
then
people
can
think
around
it.
H
Thanks
very
much,
mr
mayor,
I
remember
when
we
first
reviewed
this
and
I
queried
that
last
stop
point
that
says
ad
average
residential
rate
rise,
because
I
don't
get
what
that
means
like
it.
I
I
had
suggested
at
the
time
that
we
could
say
disciplined
residential
rates
rise,
which
kind
of
gives
the
indication
that
we're
not
going
to
go
crazy
and
give
a
massive
rates
rise.
But
what
does
it
mean
just
average
residential
rate
rise
average
of
what
or
where
or
how?
I
I
can't
get
that.
B
Sarah,
through
the
mayor,
we've
actually
been
measuring
this
for
the
current
corporate
plan
since
2016,
and
it's
something
that's
in
currently
the
city
opera,
the
annual
plan.
We
actually
put
that
in
the
annual
plan
every
year,
so
I'll
give
you
the
technical
definition.
It's
the
percentage
increase
in
total
rates
and
charges
for
a
residential
non-community
title
property,
dwelling
being
principal
place
of
residents,
paying
the
average
general
rate,
but
it
excludes
things
like
water
charges
and
other
specialist
charges.
So
it's
something
we've
been
calculating
reporting
on
since
2016.
H
D
I
think
through
you,
sorry,
I
think
I
can
help
so
what
this
table
does
is
describe
what
the
measure
is,
so
this
that's
describing
and
sarah's
just
described,
it
will
be
a
number
behind.
There
is
a
target,
and
we
know
on
this
one.
We
all
know
what
the
target
is,
which
is
an
average
residential
rate
rise
less
than
cpi.
That's
what
the
target
is
underneath
so
we'll
report,
that's
describes
the
number,
which
will
be
four
five,
three,
whatever
it
is
every
year,
but
the
target
behind
it
is
very
clear
which
is
less
than
than
cpi.
B
Yes,
yeah
through
the
man,
that's
correct,
so
in
terms
of
our
baseline
last
year,
I
think
it
was
1.68,
so
we
have
been
recording
this
for
many
years
and
you're
right.
That's
what
will
be
reported
in
the
annual
report
and
the
measures
of
success
which
are
attachment.
Six
give
a
bit
more
definition
and
that
will
be
provided
on
the
website
to
the
community.
Sorry.
A
Right
well,
councillor
patterson.
G
G
If,
if
I
think
about
the
issues
we've
had
in
terms
of
one
city
or
since
I've
been
here,
I
think
and
maybe
I'm
misunderstanding
the
intent
of
this,
but
I
thought
it
was
about
partnering
together,
everyone
in
the
city
to
forward
this
city,
so
state
and
federal,
and
if
I
think
about
the
issues
that
we've
had
both
federal
and
state,
there's
nothing
in
that.
There's
no
measures
in
that
that
would
reflect
that
we
are
actually
working
and
that
we're
succeeding.
G
It
doesn't
speak
to
one
city,
those
measures.
It
doesn't
speak
to
it
in
the
can.
We
put
it
back
up
on
the
screen,
please
so
the
could
you
just
expand
it
a
bit.
Please
I
get
the
emerging
opportunities,
but
we've
had
so
many
frustrations
with
how
we're
dealing
with
other
levels
of
government
and
that's
what
I
thought
that
meant
that
we
work
out
ways
to
work
together
for
the
city.
G
A
We
can't
bind
state
and
federal,
we
that's
that,
but
in
the
advocacy
we
we
do
our
best
and
to
get
infrastructure
or
other
fundings
and
reflective
of
through
2015
say
before
the
couple
years
before
the
commonwealth
games
till
now,
we
we've
absolutely
punched
above
our
weight
regarding
funding
from
the
federal
and
the
state
to
extend
every
time
I
go
to
council
of
mayors
they're
all
whining
that
how
much
we
get
in
comparison
to
the
other
councillors.
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
on
page
100,
at
the
top
part,
it's
it's
highlighting
the
inclusion
of.
B
Light
rail
and
I'm
just
wondering
why
it
hasn't
been
just
public
transport
overall,
oh.
B
Sorry,
yes,
in
terms
of
the
visual,
the
the
the
light
rail
was
added
to
the
visual,
because
obviously
it's
an
iconic
part
of
our
transport
network
in
the
city.
I'm
sorry,
I
missed
the
second
part
of
the
question
there.
Council,
mcdonald,.
H
Well,
I
would
have
thought
that
it
would
just
have
said
public
transport.
You
know
overall.
D
So
for
council,
if
I
can
help
through
you,
mr
mayor,
so
that's
just
a
description
of
the
change
in
the
picture.
So
the
light
rail
has
gone
in
as
a
representative
for
public
transport
because
it
is
probably
the
most
iconic
piece
of
public
transport
we
have
in
the
city.
So
that's.
Why
that's
why
it's
there.
A
A
Okay,
how
about
I'll
leave
to
everyone
to
have
a
look
at
that?
While
we
have
another
cut,
10
minutes,
good
enough,
all
right,
all
good
10
minutes,
12
16.
A
A
E
E
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor,
mr
mayors,
you'd
be
aware,
and
all
of
our
colleagues
would
be
aware.
We
have
a
statutory
obligation
to
deliver
a
corporate
plan,
which
is
an
overarching
governance
document
to
make
sure
that
the
decisions
that
we
make
as
a
council
are
in
accordance
with
the
aspirations
and
the
wishes
of
the
community,
now
very
short
notice.
City
officers
and
our
new
ceo
have
worked
very
well
together
as
much
community
insight
as
possible
to
inform
a
better
corporate
plan
that
can
take
us
forward
to
2027..
E
Mr
mayor.
During
the
latter
stages
of
our
corporate
planned
development,
we
invited
the
gold
coast
community
to
provide
some
further
information.
Some
further
guidance
to
us
that
was
captured
in
about
a
thousand
submissions
about
950
of
which
came
from
within
the
city
now,
based
on
the
strength
of
those
submissions
city
officers,
have
recommended
a
few
changes
to
the
corporate
plan
that
was
initially
presented
to
us
in
draft
form.
E
Mr
mayor,
I'm
proposing
a
change
adding
a
4a
which
reads
that
the
corporate
plan
and
associated
collateral
be
amended
to
reflect
the
inherent
tension
between
competing
priorities
and
that
decisions
will
be
balanced
and
reflect
the
public
interest.
Mr
mayor
it'd
be
great
if
we
could
have
a
report
or
a
council
decision
that
ticked
absolutely
every
box
in
the
corporate
plan.
That
would
be
wonderful,
but
we
do
know
that
every
decision
has
trade-offs
and
what's
really
important.
E
That
is
for
us
to
communicate
to
the
community
that
we
will
take
all
information
in
that
we
will
make
balanced
decisions
and
we
will
attempt
to
get
decisions
correct.
But
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
be
in
a
position
where
decisions
are
not
being
made.
Decisions
in
the
public
interest
merely
because
not
every
box
is
ticked.
E
This
amendment,
mr
mayor,
is
based
on
some
feedback
that
we
received
during
the
course
of
questioning
and
debate
from
our
ceo
that
sometimes
there
are
different
priorities
that
are
in
competition,
but
they
need
to
be
reconciled
in
a
public
interest.
Mr
mayor,
I
further
propose
a
change
adding
a
part
b
to
four
which
reads
that
the
corporate
plan
and
associated
collateral
be
amended
to
instead
reflect
a
greater
emphasis
on
climate
resilience
and
tactical
policy
outcomes
to
deliver
genuine
environmental
outcomes.
E
Mr
mayor,
I
feel
very
strongly
that
we
should
make
this
amendment
because,
as
we've
heard
already,
there
is
so
much
that
we
are
doing
already
in
the
space,
whether
it's
planting
hundreds
of
thousands
of
trees,
whether
it's
developing
new
flood
overlay
codes,
whether
it's
by
extracting
methane
from
landfill,
installing
solar
voltaic
panels
on
our
community
centers,
there's
so
much
that
we're
already
doing
that.
We
know
actually
delivers
environmental
outcomes
and
counselor.
E
William
owen
jones
referred
to
our
investment
in
public
transport,
absolutely
a
project
that
delivers
better
environmental
outcomes,
and
it
would
be
a
shame,
mr
mayor,
not
to
reflect
that
as
one
of
the
priorities
of
our
corporate
plan,
because
that
actually
delivers
results.
It's
not
aspirational,
it's
actually
delivery.
E
Lastly,
mr
mayor,
with
respect
to
4c,
I
propose
adding
that
the
city-wide
greenhouse
gas
emissions
outcome
so
we're
retaining
it
completely,
be
subject
to
further
development
and
will
be
informed
by
commonwealth
and
state
government
policies,
as
they
are
settled
and,
mr
mayor,
what
this
does
is
signal
to
the
community
that
we
are
interested
in
developing
a
greenhouse
gas
emissions
policy.
Absolutely
we
are
interested
in
that,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
policy
is
actually
in
full
alignment
with
the
commonwealth
and
state
government,
as
we
saw
with
the
so-called
wheelie
bin
tax.
E
Mr
mayor,
the
the
state
waste
levy,
we
needed
alignment
between
council's
approach
and
the
state
approach
to
ensure
that
rate
payers
weren't
disadvantaged
and
that
we
were
actually
delivering
on
the
state's
environmental
ambitions.
As
the
new
commonwealth
government
and
the
state
settled
on
their
approach.
This
will
be
a
trigger
to
review
our
position
to
make
sure
that
there's
alignment
and
where
there
are
subsidies
and
grants
available,
we
can
factor
that
into
our
policy
moving
forward.
E
I
just
want
to
stress
to
any
councillor
who's
weary,
that
this
waters
down
the
corporate
plan
and
its
commitment
to
action
on
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
It
does
not
do
that.
What
it
signals
to
the
community
is
that
there
is
more
work
to
be
done
and
that
work
will
be
in
consultation
with
the
two
other
levels
of
government
and
mr
mayor
just.
E
Mr
mayor,
perhaps
none
of
the
themes
that
were
presented
through
this
last
round
of
consultation
were
a
surprise.
But
what
was
a
surprise
to
me
is
that
in
the
west
well,
they
only
constituted
three
percent
of
all
submissions
and
I
think
we
need
to
properly
resource
retool
reorganize,
a
community
consultation
team,
if
required,
to
make
sure
that
every
gold
coaster
has
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
decisions
that
affect
them.
E
Mr
mayor
other
than
that
very
happy
with
the
report
and
I'd
like
to
thank
sarah
and
the
corporate
planning
and
performance
team,
our
corporate
communication
branch
and
the
ceo
who,
at
very
late
at
a
very
late
stage,
five
minutes
to
midnight,
as
I
say,
had
an
opportunity
to
be
involved
and
landed
us.
I
think,
in
a
very
strong
position.
Thank
you
speaking.
F
However,
it
seems
that
the
broader
public
may
have
a
different
aspiration
in
the
sense
of
reducing
our
footprint,
reducing
our
carbon
emissions,
and
indeed
this
council
did
have
a
climate
change
strategy
adopted
in
2014
and
that
included
a
a
target
to
achieve
a
carbon
neutral
outcome
for
the
city
for
the
city's
operations.
I
mean
the
council's
operations
by
2020.,
so
there
was
nothing
scary
in
any
of
that
at
that
point
in
time,
and
I
don't
think,
there's
anything
scary
in
that.
F
I
think
it's
just
good
business
for
us
to
be
reducing
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
our
our
sewage
plants,
for
example,
from
our
vehicles
from
our
electricity
usage,
and
I
think
that
we
do
those
things,
and
so
it
seems
ashamed
that
we're
not
actually
recognizing
that
and
adopting
that
as
part
of
a
deliberate
open
strategy.
This
is
what
we
want
to
do
and
we're
doing
it
and
we
can
achieve
great
outcomes.
F
As
I
said,
we're
already
doing
a
lot
of
those
things.
I
think
it's
good
business
and
our
directors
are
taking
the
lead
and
ensuring
that
we're
getting
the
best
outcomes
because
it
it's
a
financial
benefit
to
us,
but
it's
also
a
recognition,
and
I
don't
want
to
be
political,
because
I
had
this
discussion
with
my
colleague,
councillor
brooks
during
the
break.
F
A
All
right,
speaking
for
the
motion,
counselor
owen
jones.
I
Mr
mayor,
I'm
going
to
support
it
because
I
don't
think
it
waters
it
down.
I
think
it
basically
gives
us
a
prac
some
practical
direction
to
go
in
and,
as
we
discussed
during
questions,
there's
a
whole
raft
of
things.
The
city
already
does
that
people
may
not
necessarily
directly
link
to
climate
change
or
climate
resilience,
but
they
are
actually
practical
things
that
the
city
is
doing,
whether
or
not
it
is
in
how
we
manage
our
landfill
and
our
and
the
extraction
of
gases
from
old
cells.
I
Whether
or
not
it's
how
how
many
trees
that
we
seek
to
plant
or
how
much
of
the
city
we
seek
to
have
under
canopy.
Whether
or
not
it
is
the
simple
things
where
we
try
to
have
a
mode
shift,
getting
people
out
of
cars
and
either
walking
or
cycling
or
using
public
transport.
And
we
don't
do
that
by
ourselves.
We
do
it
in
partnership
with
other
levels
of
government,
so,
for
example,
when
it
comes
to
mode
shift
and
getting
people
out
of
cars.
I
The
city
before
I
was
a
councillor
made
a
decision
to
basically
invest
an
enormous
amount
of
money
in
light
rail.
In
the
first
stage
of
light
rail
and
that
decision
was
made,
and
subsequently
we've
invested
in
stages,
two
and
three
of
light
rail
and
we've
talked
a
lot
in
this
chamber
about
trying
to
make
that
business
as
usual,
because
that
stops
the
city
spreading
out
and
starts
concentrating
growth
in
adjacent
to
public
transport
and
that's
what
actually
makes
a
difference
when
people
say
to
myself
as
a
councillor.
What
are
we
doing
about
climate
change?
I
To
me,
the
simple
answer
about
trying
to
influence
how
people
get
out
of
their
cars
and
maybe
are
able
to
get
to
their
close
destinations
is
one
of
the
very
practical
things
that
we
do
so.
Mr
mayor,
it
was
also
mentioned
that
the
flood
overlay
codes
and,
and
then
what
wasn't
man
mentioned
was
we've
done
an
enormous
amount
of
work
in
regards
to
bush
fire
management
and
the
hazards
involved
with
that.
I
J
Mayor
there
is
nothing
in
particular
in
this
motion
that
that
offends
me,
and
I
actually
think
I've
heard
the
debate
and
the
conversation
here,
but
my
position
is
actually
informed
by
the
the
broader
conversation
that
we
had
earlier
and-
and
I
have
to
say
that
in
the
residents
that
I
look
after
I'm
in
the
south
category,
the
first
most
important
issue
is
environmental
protection.
J
The
fourth
most
important
issue
is
climate
change,
resilience
and
planning,
and
it
it
just
occurs
to
me
not
by
the
words
that
are
on
the
screen,
but
by
the
debate
that
has
occurred,
that
there
is
a
sense
that
some
of
those
issues
might
be.
We
may
be
less
attentive
to
those
you
know
the
underlying
emphasis
in
the
debate.
I
think
led
me
to
believe
that,
so
I
actually
also
think
that
a
b
and
c
are
relatively
self-evident
in
the
the
officer's
recommendation.
J
I
actually
don't
think
there's
anything
in
those
three
elements
that
that
perhaps
wouldn't
be
wouldn't
form
part
of
the
ceo's
delegation
anyway,
and
I
have
full
confidence
that
that
our
new
ceo
has
taken
on
board
the
debate
today.
I
feel
confident
that
that,
for
in
itself
actually
does
deliver
oh
and
will
deliver
the
the
the
feeling
of
counsel
and
our
commitment
to
climate
change
resilience
and
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
the
the
the
broader
that
are
happening
across
the
city.
J
Well,
beyond
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
yeah,
I
have
full
confidence
that
the
ceo
will
actually
deliver
on
those
things.
Frankly,
I'm
just
not
convinced,
based
on
the
debate,
that
a
b
and
c
add
any
extra
value
to
what
is
already
inherently
in
four
I'll,
be
voting
against
emotions
to
me.
Okay,.
A
All
right,
counselor,
it's
not
speaking.
Okay,
can
I
go
you
closer
class
yeah
council
divorce
staff.
E
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
Well,
I
fully
respect
the
ceo
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
co
for
his
contribution
during
debate,
because
it's
actually
the
ceo's
contribution
which
informed
the
words
that
I've
placed
up
on
the
screen
today
so
for
any
counselor
who
may
worry
or
have
some
consternation
around
the
words.
I
think
they
can
take
some
comfort
in
that
they're,
a
product
of
feedback
that
we've
received
from
the
top
table,
but
also
discussion.
That's
been
had
amongst
representatives
of
the
city,
and
I
think
surveys
play
an
important
role
in
decision
making.
E
Absolutely
they
do.
But
when
a
survey
only
captures
three
percent
of
submissions
from
one
quarter
of
the
city,
we
need
to
plug
that
gap
as
community
representatives,
and
I
feel
as
though
that
gap
is
plugged
through
debate
through
constructive
dialogue
with
the
co
across
the
floor
and
in
the
amendment
of
the
motion,
and
while
it
is
tempting
to
rely
on
the
co
to
act
on
the
debate.
E
E
Mr
mayor,
I
just
want,
even
though
perhaps
councillor
young
and
councillor
toza
may
choose
to
vote
against
this
today.
I
just
want
to
make
it
patently
clear
to
anybody
listening
in
here
sorry
listening
online,
that
these
words
do
not
undermine
whatsoever
counsel
action
on
green
house
gas
emissions.
In
fact,
the
city
officer
recommendation
was
silent
on
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
E
The
decision
of
committee
today
is
to
insert
greenhouse
gas
emissions
into
the
recommendation
and
to
actually
give
the
co
direction
to
act
on
that
outcome
by
placing
it
under
his
delegation
so
far
from
watering
down
action,
it
actually
strengthens
action.
But,
mr
mayor,
we
have,
I
think,
in
times
gone
by
so
many
plans
and
policies
that
have
sat
on
a
shelf
and
done
nothing
they've
gathered
dust.
E
What
this
does.
Mr
combination
of
bnc
is
actually
direct
city
officers
to
get
on
with
the
job
of
achieving
good
environmental
outcomes.
The
moment
that
this
is
adopted
tells
them
to
get
on
with
that,
but
it
also
tells
them
to
get
on
to
the
commonwealth
government
and
the
state
government
to
develop
a
policy
that
we
can
consider
when
the
time
is
right.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
do
is
break
faith
with
the
community
and
I
feel
as
though
we
break
faith
when
we
make
a
commitment
with
no
policy.
E
A
Okay,
thank
you
councillors.
Just
just
of
note
heads
up,
we
can't
pass
a
motion
to
adopt
a
budget
without
first
passing
a
motion
to
have
a
council
corporate
plan.
A
So
so
what
I'm
saying
here
is
that,
should
this
go
down,
we
won't
be
able
to
adopt
the
budget
at
the
budget
day
and,
of
course,
we've
got
till.
I
think
from
memory
end
of
july
august,
whatever
I
think
in
the
july,
but
there's
no
there's
no
passage
for
our
budget.
I
thought
I'd
make
that
point
clear.
No,
the
debate's
closed.
A
A
Councillors
we
go
to
page
125.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
All
right,
council,
taser
move:
okay,
second
error:
councillor
la
castra,
anyone
speak
against
council
told
you
we'd
like

J
Mr
may,
this
item
relates
to
the
generous
position
that
council
takes
in
relation
to
incorporated
associations
and
those
community
organizations
who
do
wonderful
work
in
our
community
and,
whilst
it's
only
a
very
small
part
of
our
budget
deliberations,
it's
an
important
part
and
yeah.
It's
good
we're
going
to
write
to
everyone
and
tell
them
how
much
we're
giving
them
thanks.
