If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
We
have
a
full
agenda
councillors.
We
might
deal
with
the
confirmation
of
minutes
from
the
last
meeting.
First,
if
there's
no
corrections,
would
you
like
councillor
toast
would
like
to
propose
those
secondary
councillor
castro
councillor
castro,
all
those
in
favor,
that's
passed,
add
item
two
conflict
of
interest
declarations.
Is
there
any
conflict
of
interest.
A
A
Have
you
counselor
hamill,
have
you
had
any
conversations
with
city
solicitor
about
you.
B
Collection
more
or
the
other
contracts
around
it.
That's
my
understanding,
director
from
a
two
second
scroll.
C
Through
youtube,
yes,
it,
the
the
a
proposal
to
extend
a
number
of
contracts,
does
not
have
anything
directly
to
do
with
the
j.j
richards
existing
contract.
But
it's
part
of
the
preparation
work
for
renewal
of
the
new
collections
contract.
B
A
Okay,
so
item
two
is
fine:
we've
got
some
start
items
councillors.
Anyone
wanna,
unstar
adams,.
A
D
C
D
No,
I
think
councillor
hamill,
unstarred,
eight
and
six
remains
start.
Okay,.
D
A
So
we
item
number
six.
A
Oh
sorry,
seven
or
seven
is
the
question
for
me.
Actually
it's
about
it's
about
our
charging
stations
in
coolangatta,
director
and
the
location.
I
brought
it
up
with
you
recently
that
I
didn't
think
the
location.
I
wasn't
consulted
about
the
location
and
I
think
it
is
problematic.
Has
there
been
any
talk
amongst
officers
about
that.
C
Through
you
chair,
I
went
back
to
them
and
asked
what
consultation
had
occurred.
They
actually
came
back
to
me
and
and
and
to
be
honest,
I
didn't
read
them
in
detail,
but
they
provided
me
evidence
that
they
had
had
correspondence
with
your
office.
Now,
as
I
said,
I
didn't
read
that
in
detail.
I
can
forward
that
on
to
you
now.
I
don't
know
whether
that
got
to
you
directly,
but
there
was
correspondence
or
they
did
come
back
to
me
and
say
there
was
correspondence
and
and
discussion
with
your
office
around
that.
A
I
think
the
correspondence
was
more
about
just
the
word
cool
and
gutter,
not
the
action,
not
the
actual
location,
and
I
certainly
didn't
know
they'd
been
installed
and
nor
did
my
office
have
we
got
any
stats
on
usage
at
the
moment.
C
Not
for
that
one,
but
we
do
have
regular
stats
on
usage
that
is
provided
by
the
vendor.
Who
who
manages
these
things
australia-wide?
C
C
A
C
Built
yeah
now
look.
I
appreciate
that
and,
as
we
discussed,
I
wasn't
convinced
that
the
location
that
they
picked
was
the
best
location.
A
C
Just
kel's
way
out
of
general
business
just
for
everyone's
awareness,
we've
actually
just
installed
solar
panels
on
the
chambers
here
and
they
will
be
connected
up
tonight.
I'm
reliably
informed
a
hundred
kilowatts
of
solar
energy
in
the
chambers
very
good.
C
A
B
B
Madam
chair,
through
you
to
the
director
very
supportive
of
the
removal
of
this
weir
and
I've,
had
several
briefings
with
officers,
but
I'm
just
wondering
if
the
director
could
clarify
that
there's
been
strong
public
consultation
out
in
this
area,
they're
a
very
well
a
small
community,
a
very
loud
community,
about
these
kinds
of
things,
especially
their
waterway.
So
I'm
looking
for
some
assurance
that
there's
been
strong
public
consultation
done
on
this
one.
C
I'm
not
aware
that
we've
ourselves
have
conducted
extensive
consultation
with
any
of
the
you
know
nearby
residents
associated
with
this
proposal,
simply
because,
as
I
said,
it
had
a
long
gestation
period
and
you
know
we
want
to
see
that
council
is
supportive
of
the
removal
first
prior
to
going
out
and
talking
to
people
that
we
were
going
to
remove
it
so
but
josh,
if
you
can
add
any
more
to
that.
I'd
appreciate
it.
Yes,
through
the.
E
E
Some
of
them
have
indicated
that
they
prefer
things
to
stay
the
way
they
are,
but
they're
not
going
to
cause
any
major
issues
about
it,
but
we
yeah,
as
as
paul
said,
we
haven't
done
significant,
community-wide
consultation
at
this
stage.
F
E
Yes,
through
the
chair,
we
we've
done
some
significant
water
testing
over
time.
We've
got
quite
a
lot
of
algal
blooms
behind
the
wheel,
just
because
of
the
buildup
of
nutrients
in
the
stagnant
water.
So
residents,
particularly
on
the
logan
side
of
the
river,
would
use
it
for
swimming
historically
but
yeah.
It's
it's
pretty
poor
water
quality
behind
the
wheel.
F
So
I
was
talking
to
josh
earlier
in
the
meeting
before
the
meeting
and
I
a
long
time
ago,
grew
up
in
cedar
creek
on
the
albert
shy
side
of
the
river
and
we
we
used
to
swim
at
the
weir
right
up
until
there
were
color
outbreaks,
and
then
we
weren't
allowed
to
so
it's
been
a
long-standing
problem
since
at
least
the
mid
70s,
I'm
I'm
interested
in
any
environmental
impacts
that
there
might
be
in
regards
to
the
removal
of
the
weir
and
in
particular
whether
or
not
there
are
any
challenges
for
habitat
for
platypus
and
whether
or
not
the
city
and
logan
have
had
to
give
any
consideration
to
those
impacts.
E
Yes,
through
the
chair,
the
construction
for
all
the
decommissioning
time
frames
will
occur
outside
platypus
breeding
periods,
so
we're
looking
at
winter
next
year,
so
that
will
obviously
coincide
with
lower
rainfall
periods.
We'll
also
have
to
go
through
some
significant
state
approvals
before
we
can
remove
the
wheels.
So
we've
started
that
process
now,
so
there
will
be
yeah.
Those
studies
into
the
environmental
impact
will
be.
F
And
one
final
question:
I
appreciate
that
there
is
pose
joint
funding
from
the
logan
city,
council
and
city
of
gold
coast,
but
given
the
the
regional
impact
offered,
is
there
any
event?
Is
there
any
opportunities
for
state
funding
in
regards
to
the
decommissioning
of
the
weirs,
and
is
there
any
evidence
of
the
state
supporting
any
other
local
governments
in
regards
to
returning
and
natural
water
flows
to
rivers?.
E
E
My
understanding
is,
they
will
say
this
asset
is
a
local
government
asset
and
we
should
have
carriage
of
the
removal
but
paul,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
have
any
other
thoughts
on.
C
Through
the
channel,
I'm
not
aware
of
any
other
opportunities,
but
they're
ones
that
we
can
always
pursue
once
council
has
made
the
decision
and
is
supportive
of
the
removal.
We
can
formally
write
to
a
number
of
ministers
and
and
seek
funding
support.
F
It
might
be.
The
committee
gives
some
consideration
to
a
three,
which
is
that
the
mayor
writes
to
so.
The
gold
coast
is
lucky
enough
to
have
the
minister
of
environment
as
a
member
of
government,
so
I
think
it
would
make
a
world
of
sense
for
them
and
for
the
minister
to
be
informed
of
the
city's
commitment
to
effectively
returning
natural
water
flow,
and
it
may
very
well
be
a
project
that
this.
F
The
current
state
government
is
interested
in
co-investing
with
the
two
councils
in
and
if
we
can
get
them
to
contribute
some
of
the
costs
that
would
be
well
received.
A
F
So
I
I
think
that
one
does
the
other,
so
we
remove
the
the
weir
and
we
improve
water
quality
and
ultimately,
we
may
also
improve
habitat
for
something
like
the
platypus.
So
if
anybody's
going
to
be
excited
about
that,
it's
going
to
be
a
state
government,
environmental
minister,
who
sees
the
sees
the
advantages
of
looking
after
our
much
loved
platypus.
It
might
end
up
being
the
most
the
the
the
mascot
for
the
2032
gold
coast
olympic
games.
D
A
Just
one
more
question
for
josh:
I
did
read
the
report,
but
was
there
any
time
frame
put
on
when
we
would
get
like
a
decent
water
quality
back
for
recreational
use
after
the
removal
of
the
weir?
Or
is
that
a
open-ended
question.
E
I
mean
we
should
see
some
improvement
soon
after
the
removal
of
the
wear
during
the
process
of
removing
the
wheel.
There's
a
significant
amount
of
sediment
behind
the
wheel
that
we'll
have
to
remove
so
that
there
isn't
impacts
on
the
downstream
waterway
after
the
wheeze
removed.
But
we
would
expect
significant
improvements
in
that
section
of
waterway.
B
A
I'm
happy
to
include
that
I'm
not.
B
A
Okay,
we
haven't
got
a
a
mover
or
a
seconder
yet
so
are
you
happy
to
move
that
counselor
hamill
seconder
councillor
peter
young.
D
Thanks
chair,
I
think
this
report's
silent
on
the
treatment
of
the
material
that's
actually
been
drawn
from
the
weir,
notably
that
will
have
increased
levels
of
nutrients
and
possibly
heavy
metals
and
so
forth.
So
is
it?
Is
there
a
process
identified
for
the
treatment
of
that
material
and
where
will
it
be
just
distributed
afterwards?.
E
E
So
the
sediment
itself
could
be
if
it's
suitable
placed
on
the
banks
of
the
river
when
we're
undertaking
our
planting,
if
it's
not
suitable,
we'll
have
to
take
it
away
for
landfilling,
the
water
itself
yeah.
If
there's
problems
with
the
water,
we'll
have
to
look
at
treating
it
before
discharge
downstream
paul.
I
don't
know
if
you.
C
Through
your
madame
chair,
the
catchment
upstream
of
the
reservoir
is
predominantly
natural.
We
don't
expect
a
high
pollutants
if
you
like
from
from
previous
activities
in
the
catchment,
such
as
heavy
metals
or
any
other
contaminants
such
as
that,
so
the
the
risk
we
believe
is
is
low,
but
certainly,
as
josh
said,
any
weird
traps
settlement
and-
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
manage
that
as
the
primary
issue
as
we
decommission
the
reservoir.
C
I
think
it's
also
fair
to
say,
while
we've
done
our
preliminary
work
on
the
decommissioning,
as
josh
outlined,
there's
a
a
whole
list
of
further
environmental
work.
That
needs
to
be
done.
C
That
flows
from
council
support
to
progress
to
the
decommissioning
and
obviously
those
issues
will
be
identified
and
and
built
into
the
management
plan
and
also
the
possible
staging
of
the
decommissioning
of
the
structure
as
we
go
for
those
who
perhaps
aren't
familiar
with
their
site,
josh
has
prepared
a
small
presentation.
If
you
wanted
to
have
a
look
at
it,
it
doesn't
specifically
deal
with
these
issues,
but
it
gives
the
site
and
some
of
the
context
so
happy
to
present
that
if
a
committee
is
interested
but.
C
There's
a
range
of
environmental
approvals
that
are
required
prior
to
formally
commencing
the
the
actual
works.
Okay.
E
So
I'll
present
an
abridged
diversion
a
version
given
where
I've
discussed
some
of
this
already
but
as
as
discussed
earlier,
originally
constructed
as
a
water
supply
for
ben
lee,
in
the
50s
cholera
outbreaks
and
other
water
quality
issues
rendered
it
unsuitable
for
water
supply.
So
it's
been
a
redundant
asset
ever
since
so
the
removal
of
lusk,
and
we
will
result
in
the
albert
being
the
most
significant,
unobstructed
waterway
in
southeast
queensland.
E
This
is
just
a
s,
a
picture
of
the
northern
part
of
the
the
albert
catchment.
So
it's
a
really
it's
quite
a
large
catchment.
It's
about
780
square
kilometers.
It
starts
right
up
in
wilmington
national
park
flows
down
the
albert
into
the
logan
river
and
then
into
southern
moreton
bay
and
the
broad
water.
E
The
the
albert
river,
as
you
know,
marks
boundary
in
certain
parts
between
logan
and
the
gold
coast
and,
as
we
discussed
earlier,
logan's
agreed
to
fund
fifty
percent
of
the
removal.
E
E
Okay,
this
is
some
drone
footage.
It's
actually
on
google
street
view,
so
we've
just
taken
a
screen
shot
of
us
clicking
through
street
view,
but
the
bank
to
the
right
is
logan
and
the
bank
to
the
left
is
obviously
gold
coast.
E
E
We've
got
a
short
video
as
to
why
that's
unsuitable
in
a
minute,
but
yeah
the
fish
ladders
were
done,
we'd
have
to
replace
it.
If
we
were
going
to
keep
it.
E
So,
as
I
said
earlier,
the
removal
of
the
weir
and
associated
rehabilitation
is
projected
to
cost
1.9
million
dollars,
950,
000
of
which
will
be
funded
by
logan,
and
hopefully
the
state
will
chip
in
some
as
well.
So
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
we
had
a
consultant
report
by
smack
indicating
that
maintenance
and
structural
repairs
over
20
years
could
get
up
to
about
1.6
million
if
we
decided
to
keep
the
the
asset.
E
So
as
we
move
upstream
of
the
river
you'll
notice,
the
weir
controls
water
level
at
about
three
to
four
meters
above
what
its
normal
flow
level
would
be.
So
once
the
wind's
removed,
the
water
level
will
obviously
drop
and
we'll
need
to
do
rehabilitation
along
the
length
of
the
river.
E
E
I've
just
got
a
a
couple
of
benefits
for
removal
of
wears,
so
we
discussed
earlier
about
the
improvements
to
water
quality
because
you
have
reduced
retention
times
and
nutrient
accumulation
there's
also
significant
benefits
for
fish
migration
and
breeding
to
occur.
E
G
Area
in
the
system
upstream
from
the
estuary
old
fish
undertake
migrations
throughout
their
life
cycle
to
reach
feeding
grounds
or
breeding
grounds,
but
it's
particularly
important
for
those
diadromous
fish
species,
those
migratory
ones
which
spawn
in
the
estuary
and
then
the
juveniles
migrate
up
to
fresh
water.
So
the
barriers
stop
that
migration
and
that
reduces
fish
populations
and
we're
talking
some
of
the
most
important
fish
species
in
queensland
really
important.
Recreational
commercial,
indigenous
fish
species
such
as
australian
bass,
jungle,
perch,
sea
mullet,
fresh
water,
mullet
and
longfin
deals.
So
yesterday
we
came
down.
G
We
put
the
fishway
trap
in
just
to
monitor
fish
numbers,
to
see
how
many
we're
getting
and
yeah
pleased
to
say
that
we're
we're
getting
good
numbers.
We've
got
1
200
fish
yesterday
come
through
and
the
majority
of
them
are
juvenile
fish.
Little
fish,
little
sea
mullet,
28
millimeters
long
up
to
about
40
millimeters
long
and
these
fish
are
the
weakest
swimmers
they're,
not
very
good,
at
negotiating
high
velocities
or
they're,
not
very
good.
At
jumping
our
fish,
they're
really
really
lazy.
They're,
not
like
atlantic
salmon.
E
So
yeah
sorry,
I
had
to
cut
him
off
there.
He
went
off
quite
a
bit
longer
yeah
yeah,
so
I
guess
fishways
started
in
the
u.s
and
it
was
they
were
built
for
fish
like
atlantic
salmon,
but
our
fish
are
quite
a
bit
less
energetic,
so
they're
just
not
suitable
for
our
conditions.
We
have
to
build
different
types
of
fish
ways.
If
that's
what
we're
going
to
do.
E
So,
as
you
all
know,
the
gold
coast
is
a
waterways
city
and
it's
a
significant
reason
as
to
why
many
people
choose
to
live
here.
The
albert
river
was
also
culturally
significant
for
indigenous
or
first
nations
people
they
called
the
river
bilinuba
meaning
place
of
parrots
in
2020,
healthy
land
and
water
undertook
a
community
social
and
economic
benefits
survey
for
all
the
major
waterways
in
south
east
queensland.
E
So
the
albert
river
scored
3.5,
which
is
pretty
good
in
southeast
queensland.
But
when
you
compare
it
to
the
values
people
in
in
the
south
of
the
city
hold
for
the
taliban
and
kurumban
creeks,
it's
it's
quite
a
bit
lower.
So
we're
we're
really
hoping
that
this
project
will
draw
attention
to
to
the
river
and
yeah
get
make
sure
the
community
makes
more
use
of
it.
E
Another
thing
to
keep
in
mind
is
the
increasing
population
in
the
north
of
the
city,
so
this
is
going
to
bring
increased
demand
for
recreational
opportunities.
We
undertook.
We
had
a
waterways
demand
study
undertaken
for
the
city
and
it
indicated
that
waterways
in
the
north
of
the
city
again
are
projected
to
have
the
highest
increase
in
demand
into
the
future.
E
E
So
again,
yeah,
just
in
in
summary
of
the
the
removal
of
lusk
and
weir,
is
an
important
step.
We
think
in
creating
a
significant
ecological
and
recreational
asset
in
the
north
of
our
city
as
outlined
earlier.
It
will
do
this
by
improving
water
quality
to
enable
greater
recreational
purposes
to
occur.
E
E
A
Councilman
mcdonald,
you
had
a
question.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
D
With
the
removal
of
the
weir
there's
going
to
be
a
significant
water
drop
upstream,
is
this
going
to
be
done
on
a
gradual
basis,
or
is
it
just
going
to
be
removed
and
all
of
a
sudden,
you
know
the
water
drops?
How
are
you
going
to
do
it.
E
Through
you,
adam
chair,
where
we
haven't
finalised
exactly
how
we're
going
to
do
that
at
this
stage,
that'll
be
done
in
our
detailed
design
processes
and
our
ecological
studies
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
minimise
any
damage.
I
I
can't
see
that
we
would
empty
all
the
water
behind
the
wheel
straight
away.
I
I
think
it
would
be
a
gradual
process.
We'd
have
to
consider
the
downstream
conditions
as
well.
E
We
couldn't
release
a
a
massive
slug
of
water
at
the
one
time,
but
yeah
we
we
will
keep
cancel
updated
about
the
proposed
construction
methodology
as
we
go
paul.
Do
you
have
any
further
thoughts.
C
Through
you,
madam
chair,
no,
I
think
that's
the
right
approach.
As
I
said,
I
I
fully
expect
it
to
be
a
staged
removal
over
time
to
both
manage
the
the
structure,
the
water
body
behind
it
and
the
rehabilitation
of
the
the
stream
banks
upstream.
So
we
don't
want
to
rush
this.
C
In
one
sense,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
protect
the
environment,
because
that's
what
the
whole
project
is
aimed
to
do
and
as
josh
said,
I
think
the
most
significant
opportunity
is
that
this
will
be
the
the
largest
and
the
I
think,
the
best
unregulated
river
in
south
southeast
queensland
at
completion
of
it,
and
I
think
that
offers
a
a
great
deal
of
opportunities
in
terms
of
eco-tourism
for
the
north
of
the
city.
A
Thanks
director,
any
other
questions:
counselor
ham,
will
you
propose
this?
Would
you
like
to
speak
on
it.
B
Very
quickly,
madam
chair,
to
say
that
I
think
the
officers
have
touched
on
a
really
important
point
that
this
is
a
fairly
important
river
in
the
city,
while
it
forms
a
boundary
with
our
other
lga
counterparts
on
the
other
side
and
isn't
the
most
well-known
river.
There's
more
people
moving
out
to
this
area.
The
usage
in
the
river
is
increasing,
so
this
is
an
important
step
to
opening
that
up
and
definitely
on
the
points
of
the
water
quality
downstream.
B
What
probably
wasn't
touched
on
is
that
the
albert
doesn't
make
it
all
the
way
to
the
bay
it
connects
into
the
logan
which
goes
into
the
bay
and
there's
no
detail
on
the
report.
But
the
logan
river
is
in
a
pretty
poor
state
in
that.
B
There's
a
hope
in
this
too,
that
by
removing
this
and
increasing
water
flow
into
the
logan,
we
may
see
an
improvement
in
that
river
catchment
as
well,
which
all
does
flow
into
the
bay
and
into
our
broad
water,
so
something
that
is
kilometers
and
kilometers
away
from
where
most
people
connect
going
into
the
water
of
the
broad
water.
B
It's
all
connected
together
and
really
an
important
step
and
one
that,
while
I
know
it
only
says
1.6
million
in
maintenance,
we
see
that
regularly
blow
out.
So
I
think
purely
from
a
money
point
of
view.
We
can
do
this
now
and
most
likely
save
ourselves
money
in
the
future
as
well.
A
A
I'll,
just
read
out
the
reasons

to
a

It's

Anyone
like

that's
