A
And
welcome
to
Water
waste
and
energy
committee
meeting
number
835
there's
day
7th
of
September
I
intend
to
start
the
confirmation
of
minutes.
Unless
anybody
who
has
any
corrections,
no
that's
good.
A
We
do
have
some
start
other
start
items,
5.1,
6.1,
6.2,
6.3
and
7.1.
Does
anyone
like?
Would
anyone
like
to
unstart
any
of
those
items.
A
A
That
leaves
us
6.4
and
I
should
say:
welcome
acting
director,
Kathy
Baker,
just
before
I
go
any
further,
and
if
we
go
to
the
first
item,
I
know
that
director
Heaton
is
not
here
today,
but
it
is
his
last
day
with
Council
tomorrow,
I'd
just
like
to
put
it
on
public
record,
just
the
Magnificent
contribution
that
director
Heaton
has
has
made
in
this
city
over
his
time
as
director
of
Water
waste
and
energy
I.
A
Don't
think
he
could
come
across
a
more
passionate
person
about
his
commitment
to
to
the
city
and-
and
we
I'm
sure
that
you
all
join
me
in
wishing
him
well
in
and
a
very
successful
future
and
a
little
break
to
start
with
I
believe
so.
I've
already
passed,
my
those
sentiments
on
to
to
Paul
and
I'm
sure
that
some
of
you
will
probably
have
contacted
him
as
well,
but
I
just
want
to
put
that
on
record
and
we're
very
happy
to
have
you
in
the
in
the
seat
acting
director.
So
thank
you.
A
Girl
I
would
like
to
move
a
motion
of
thanks
and
you'd
like
to
second
that,
wouldn't
you
thank
you.
If
I
could
have
that
recorded
in
the
minutes
thanks,
okay,
do
we
have
a
presentation
on
the
sustainable
schools?
B
If
you
had
a
problem,
he
would
actually
answer
it
and
I
think
the
thing
that
I
liked
most
about
him
was
the
commitment
that
he
had
to
his
staff
and
and
that
he
actually
had
a
really
good
executive
team
that
he
had
put
together
over
a
number
of
years
and
I.
Don't
think
that
that
should
be
lost
on
any
of
us.
B
That
I
think
we
all
remember
going
to
endless
special
budget
committee
meetings
where
we
would
spend
a
lot
of
time
asking
questions
about
just
about
every
other
directorate,
but
we
were
always
incredibly
impressed
with
water
and
Weiss
and
their
ability
to
squeeze
a
whole
lot
of
money
without
a
whole
lot
of
questions,
and
they
did
it
really
well,
so
oh
hi
Karen
so
so
well
spent
But.
Ultimately,
that
was
led
by
Paul
and
I
think
that
that
was
reflected
in
in
the
executive
that
he
put
around
him.
So
certainly.
A
Made
his
mark
on
the
city
in
a
very
good
way.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
say
something
before
we
take
the
vote
of
thanks
to
Paul
councilor,
Gates
and
Then,
followed.
C
No
in
all
seriousness,
he's
been
a
really
great
director
and
one
that
gave
great
confidence
to
us
in
the
decision-making
area
because,
as
councilman
Jones
said
a
lot
of
it,
we
don't
have
the
technical
knowledge
in
order
to
assess
what
comes
before
us,
and
we
had
a
very
great
trust
in
both
the
director
and
his
team
in
providing
information
to
us.
C
So
I
think
we
all
wish
him
the
very
very
best
we
will
miss
him
dearly,
but
in
working
with
his
team,
as
he
has,
we
can
be
confident
of
Kathy
stepping
up
and
the
rest
of
the
team's
support
to
keep
up
the
good
work
in
informing
us.
Thank
you
well
said.
D
Thank
you,
chair
and
through
you,
I
I,
think
for
me
it
was
always
you
felt,
like
you
were
in
very
safe
hands
that
the
information
that
Paul
put
forward
to
us
here
at
the
committee
with
his
staff
no
question
was
ever
too
difficult.
There
was
always
a
very
I
guess.
D
As
councilor
Gates
was
saying,
there
was
a
lot
of
technical
information
involved
in
it,
but
we
were
always
taken
on
that
Journey
as
well
and
at
times
I'm
sure
he
had
to
be
extremely
patient
with
us
with
some
of
the
explanations
and
that,
but
in
my
seven
and
a
half
years,
I
could
think
of
no
other
director,
that's
actually
with
his
staff
being
able
to
take
each
and
every
individual
counselor
on
the
on
the
journey.
So
I
was
greatly
appreciated
of
everyone,
but
a
good
leader
always
attracts
good
staff.
A
A
E
Council
Castro
yeah,
look,
I
I
did
send
a
message
to
to
Paul
and
just
very,
very
simply,
very
calm,
very
unassuming
and
an
absolute
gentleman
really
sums
it
up.
I
think.
A
I
hope
he's
watching
the
live
streaming.
That
would
be.
We
won't
take
any
bits
on
that
right.
So
so
counselors
have
we
taken
that
we
haven't
taken
the
vote
yet,
no,
all
those
in
all
those
in
favor
of
the
both
of
things
to
fall.
Oh,
that's,
unanimous!
Thank
you!
A
The
sustainable
schools
program,
the
Eco
Marines
would
would
the
committee
like
a
presentation
on
that
or
anyone
have
some
questions.
Yeah,
it's
thicker.
F
So
I'd
like
to
welcome
Carly
and
a
little
friend
Adrian
up
to
the
the
bench,
just
an
amendment
you
will
see
on
your
your
desks
in
front
of
you.
There's
been
a
paper
that
you'll
need
to
replace
in
the
agenda
page
129.
F
Our
team
got
slightly
excited
in
in
their
wording.
What
the
statement
in
there
won't
be
going
till
was
to
Gap
until
next
week.
So
we've
taken
that
out
without
preempting
council's
resolutions
and
recommendations
over
to
you,
Carly.
G
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
councilors,
today,
I'm
just
touching
base
with
you
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
schools
engagement
program
which
you're
no
doubt
familiar
with
we're
coming
towards
the
end
of
our
second
year
of
the
new
format
of
this
program.
G
So
the
participating
schools
establish
a
student-led
group,
usually
of
about
four
to
five
ambassadors
that
lead
their
school
group
on
various
challenges
and
projects
supported
by
a
school
teacher
and
they
focus
on
waste
avoidance,
recycling,
water
sensitivity
and
students
learn
how
to
take
the
lead
in
living
a
sustainable
life
not
only
within
their
school
and
with
their
peers,
but
within
their
own
households
in
the
wider
community.
So
this
program's
been
an
important
delineation
to
date
from
traditional
and
historical
education
programs
that
are
typically
offered
by
other
government
agencies.
G
So
you'll
note
from
the
agenda
paper
that
we've
had
a
significant
increase
in
participation
rate
since
2023
I
believe
it
was
an
80
increase.
This
is
largely
due
to
ongoing
improvements
that
we've
made
to
the
program
taking
on
board
feedback
from
teachers
and
students
during
our
first
year,
responding
with
providing
a
dedicated,
City
officer
for
further
support
and
working
closely
with
the
Eco
Marines
foundation
on
larger
events
across
the
city
as
well.
G
We
engage
these
schools
to
enter
into
a
memorable
memorandum
of
understanding
with
us
so
that
we
could
hold
each
other
accountable
with
providing
us
with
data
on
their
challenges
and
more
tangible
results
and
providing
further
assistance
from
feedback
that
they
gave
us
last
year
in
terms
of
how
difficult
it
is
to
get
students
on
a
bus
and
to
travel
away
from
the
school
for
really
important
events
that
come
up
in
the
school
calendar.
G
So
we
ensured
that
we
budgeted
for
transportation
this
year
and
took
the
schools
up
to
Brisbane
for
their
very
first
Ambassador
Training
Day,
which
happens
out
on
tangaluma
Island.
G
So,
in
addition
to
supporting
schools
with
their
individual
School
challenges,
we
also
supported
them
with
the
larger
events
that
happened
throughout
the
city,
such
as
the
stem
conference
that
stands
for
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math.
This
year
it
was
hosted
by
the
Southport
school
we
had
over
40
Gold
Coast
students
attending
the
event,
and
it's
engineering
and
environment
companies
that
run
various
workshops
that
are
aimed
at
both
primary
and
secondary
age
students.
G
So
we
engage
students
with
the
Eco
Marines
foundation
on
a
joint
Workshop
called
trash
travels,
which
highlights
the
impact
that
water
weight
pollution
has
on
marine
life.
Students
get
to
put
their
scientific
discovery,
skills
to
the
test,
examining
rubbish
particles
from
various
waterways
and
then
determining
where
they
once
were
and
how
they
should
address
that
in
their
own
environment.
G
We
also
attended
a
Czech
event
which
stands
for
careers,
history,
environment,
culture
and
kindness.
This
event
is
a
collaboration
between
Queensland,
high
schools,
local
government
and
environmental
organizations,
specifically
aimed
at
high
school
students
providing
insight
into
various
careers
related
to
sustainability.
So
this
year,
we've
taken
on
a
far
more
holistic
approach,
rather
than
just
individual
attention
at
the
schools.
G
So,
in
addition
to
tangible
outcomes
that
we'll
receive
later
this
year
in
terms
of
what
the
schools
actually
delivered
and
the
data
that
we
collected,
we
know
that
we've
improved
their
Awareness
on
various
recycling
opportunities.
In
particular,
there
was
a
huge
waste
Focus
this
year,
as
well
as
improving
student
knowledge
on
the
city,
innovations
that
we
offer,
such
as
smart
water
meters,
our
illegal
dumping
program,
anti-litter
campaigns,
our
encyclopedia,
the
list
goes
on.
G
We've
got
improved
confidence
and
Leadership
skills
from
the
ambassadors
by
supporting
them
during
that
initial
training
day
out
on
tangaluma
island
and
our
outcomes
also
support
the
delivery
of
the
intended
outcomes
of
the
Gold
Coast
water
strategy
and
solid
waste
strategy
which
supports
the
implementation
of
City,
Vision
and
council
plan.
G
J
I
K
G
So
great
little
insight
into
our
future
environmental
leaders
coming
in
there
so
where
to
from
here
we're
heading
towards
the
end
of
the
school
term.
Three,
so
schools
are
busy
finalizing
their
challenges
and
getting
ready
the
for
the
data
to
submit
to
us
for
our
end
of
year,
reporting,
where
there's
a
couple
of
Celebration
events
to
acknowledge
their
achievements.
The
Eco
Marines
Foundation
host
an
event
up
in
Brisbane
at
the
end
of
the
year
for
all
of
Southeast
Queensland
students
taking
on
board
once
again
the
feedback
from
last
year.
G
We
acknowledge
that
might
be
difficult
for
Gold
Coast
Schools
to
get
their
students
up
there,
particularly
at
that
time
of
year,
so
we'll
be
hosting
a
breakfast
on
the
Gold
Coast
during
National
Water
week
to
acknowledge
School
participation.
Get
some
feedback,
hopefully
have
a
bit
of
a
PR
opportunity
and
show
our
appreciation
for
their
attendance,
Carrara,
Sports
and
Leisure
Center.
C
G
C
And
I
just
wondered
I
know
we'd
probably
been
informed
before,
but
prior
to
that
event,
would
you
be
able
to
circulate
the
the
specific
schools
that
have
been
involved
in
the
program?
Please.
G
G
One
of
the
other
opportunities
we're
looking
at
getting
some
coverage
for
is
during
National
recycling
week,
which
comes
up
in
November
Eleanor
estate
school
is
one
of
their
Concepts
is
doing
a
shop
swap
where
they're
asking
their
students
to
bring
clothing
that
they
no
longer
wish
to
wear
they're
in
good
condition
and
will
swap
with
their
peers.
G
We
expect
to
be
able
to
provide
you
with
a
full
report
from
November
on
the
achievements
of
schools,
because
they
have
a
yearbook
that
they
release
on
all
the
achievements
that
they've
done
and
the
data
that
they've
collected
throughout
the
year
and
then
from
October
this
year,
we'll
start
recruitment
for
the
2024
program.
So
some
other
insights
that
we've
received
from
schools
and
teachers
is
that
they
commence
developing
their
curriculum
for
next
year
in
October.
G
So
we
want
to
get
in
nice
and
early,
not
only
to
get
it
on
their
forward
plan,
but
so
they
can
align
up
their
ambassadors
for
2024
and
there's
a
bit
of
a
Handover
between
the
students.
So
following
committee
will
absolutely
provide
you
with
social
content.
If
you
would
like
to
promote
that
in
your
divisions
and
a
briefing
note
will
be
provided
early
next
year,
advising
you
which
schools
from
your
divisions
are
participating
in
the
2024
program
and
will
present
at
late
2024
with
the
program
achievements
following
our
third
year
of
development
and
delivery.
A
I've
just
had
one
I
noticed
that
there's
three
schools
engaged
in
our
50
free
trees
program
for
schools
was
that.
Did
we
encourage
that
or
were
they
going
to
do
it
anyway
or
how.
G
Did
that
turn?
It
definitely
encourage
them.
So
our
city
officer
works
really
hard
with
linking
their
schools
up
into
other
services
or
promotions
at
the
the
City
offers
don't
have
on
me,
which
school
it
was,
but
one
of
them
planted
an
impressive
20
250
trees
in
one
afternoon
following
the
free
trees
program,
obviously
not
250
of
ours,
but
well.
A
I
know
that
councilor
Tozer
and
I
co-funded
with
because
of
science
week,
two
of
our
schools
yeah
so
and
that
was
Ingleside
in
talabadro,
Valley,
annuals,
yeah,
so
and
yeah,
because
I
think
that's
a
great
incentive
to
get
other
schools
involved
as
well.
Another.
A
Terrific,
terrific,
okay!
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
counselors.
We
have
a
recommendation
there
just
to
note
the
contents
of
the
report
and
endorse
the
school
recruitment
to
commence
from
late
23
for
the
24
program.
Councilor
Peter
Young
would
like
to
remove
that
and
councilor
toza
would
like
to
second
that
all
those
in
favor
that's
carried.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
L
Good
afternoon,
councilors
I
would
like
to
present
to
you
today,
just
on
the
water
walls
program
a
bit
of
an
update
for
you
on
on
weather
program's
at
at
the
moment,
and
a
bit
of
information
for
you
around
graffiti
prevention
towards
the
end
of
the
other
presentation
as
well.
L
L
L
At
this
point
in
time,
we're
at
a
place
where
we've
gone
through
our
curator
that
we've
brought
on
board.
They
have
selected
six
artists
who
produce
concepts
for
the
three,
the
three
facilities
that
you
can
see
up
there.
The
public,
Arts
Advisory
Group
then
recommended
three
of
those
artworks
to
be
presented
and
approvals
being
gained
through
Paul
Alton
and
thanks
to
councilors
for
their
consideration
and
support
with
the
with
the
concepts
that
we
have
for
these
three
particular
buildings.
L
So
the
artworks
are
now
in
the
final
design
phase
and
we're
looking
at
artwork.
Installation
dates
for
Dugan
for
the
chicken
site,
from
the
2nd
of
October,
the
narang
site,
from
the
16th
of
October
and
for
upper
kumara.
The
27th
of
November
installation
will
take
about
a
week
in
narang,
maybe
two
weeks
for
tugen
and
about
the
same
for
upper
kumara,
just
with
the
the
size
and
the
the
type
of
structures
that
we
have.
L
There
I'd
like
to
show
you
what
the
the
concept
designs
look
like
so
for
tugun,
Aurora
Campbell
was
the
under
artist
designed
for
this
particular
structure.
L
You
can
see
here
very
prominent,
blue
and
green
design,
where
it's
located
in
front
of
a
park
there.
The
structure
is
quite
unique
in
its
shape
as
well.
The
design
certainly
fits
well
in
terms
of
graffiti
prevention
and
the
the
blank
there's,
no
real
blank
spaces
or
anything
in
there.
L
The
artist
Aurora
Campbell's
entitled
this
blue
flow,
representing
sort
of
that
underwater
landscape,
inspired
by
coral
reefs
native
plant
life,
indigenous
to
the
Gold
Coast
region,
and
a
tribute
to
our
most
valuable
asset
in
being
water
in
narang,
the
artist
ear
skelsey
has
gone
for
a
much
more
contemporary
Design
This
one.
This
one's
got
a
great
Concept
in
terms
of
she's,
taking
it
quite
literally
in
looking
at
the
branches
of
pipelines
that
feed
into
our
sinks.
L
Tubs
pools,
canals
the
kind
of
curvy,
interconnected
lines
there
representing
rivers
and
waterways,
and
the
different
pipes
with
the
the
Rippling
effect
of
water
droplets
in
there
as
well.
This
one's
located
in
Vince,
hind,
Park,
there's
a
playground
just
down
there
about
50
meters.
Down
from
this,
so
there's
a
a
bought
in
the
the
process
here
that
it's
a
good
one
for
kids
to
interact
with
that
following
the
the
design
through
is
something
that
kids
could
could
interact
with
there.
L
In
Upper
kumara
we've
had
a
late
change
to
the
design
for
upper
kumara,
in
that
the
artist
that
was
originally
selected
unfortunately
had
to
withdraw,
but
Tamika
Grant.
It
removes
a
local
artist
who
has
designed
a
concept
here
called
summer
storm.
This
one
reflects
a
storm
that
she
witnessed
when
she
was
at
her
father's
place
here
on
the
Gold
Coast
and
the
other
sun
shining
through
the
late
afternoon.
L
L
So
at
at
this
point
in
time,
we're
we're
only
weeks
away
until
the
first
of
the
the
artworks
are
set
to
go
up
on
the
wall,
so
reached
quite
an
exciting
phase,
but
one
thing
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
was
just
some
background
that
I
was
looking
into
in
terms
of
statistics
around
graffiti
on
these
structures
prior
to
the
previous
water
walls,
installations
from
May
2013.
There
were
78
incidents
of
graffiti
on
those
14
previous
structures
and
60
of
those
occurred
before
the
artwork
was
installed.
L
Some
of
the
sites,
in
particular
the
the
top
one
there.
It's
a
labrador
had
13
instances
of
graffiti
prior
to
that
mural
going
on
and
hasn't
had
any
sense,
also,
the
four
that
you
can
see
across
the
bottom
there
from
Southport
Surfers
up
on
the
spit
and
Main
Beach,
similarly
were
all
graffitied
prior
to
and
have
not
been
graffitied
since
the
other
murals
have
gone
on
there,
which
I
think
is
terrific.
L
So,
looking
at
the
under
three
sites
that
we're
about
to
put
murals
on,
in
the
past
five
years,
upper
kumara
had
31
instances
of
graffiti
narang
had
12
and
tugen
eight,
so
very
interested
to
see
that.
Well,
hopefully,
we
don't
get
any
graffiti
on
those
either
once
these
these
artworks
go
up
and
are
in
place.
A
Any
other
questions
answers
no
thanks,
Tony.
Thank
you
and
there's
just
a
recommendation
there
to
say
that
we
receive
a
note
contents
of
the
presentation.
That's
moved
by
Council
taser
seconded
by
councilor
McDonald,
all
those
in
favor,
that's
Carrie!
Thank
you.
We
do
have
a
couple
of
presentations
enclosed
the
first
one
is
our
critical
infrastructure
risk
management
program
and
reason
for
going
into
closed.
Is
it's
a
matter.
The
local
government
is
required
to
keep
confidential
under
a
law
of
or
formal
arrangement
with,
the
Commonwealth
or
state.
A
B
B
M
Counselors,
thank
you
for
the
time
and
thanks
for
letting
us
be
here,
we
are
very
excited
about
this.
One
I
just
want
to
acknowledge.
Paul
Heaton
as
well
he's
been
the
inspiration
behind
all
the
sustainability
work
and
strategic
work.
We've
been
doing
so
it's
very
sad
for
us
this
week,
so
anyways
thanks
Paul,
if
you're
listening,
I've
got
Richard
Ellis
here
today,
executive
coordinator
of
risk
and
also
Alana
who
is
driving
the
Olympic
Games
2032,
especially
the
sustainability
components.
M
N
And
good
afternoon
councils-
it's
good
to
be
here,
it's
good
to
be
here
with
Alana
and
Mario,
and
fantastic
team
that
have
developed
this
climate
resilience
and
sustainability
strategy
from
water
and
waste.
It's
it's
a
very
important
piece
of
work,
and
the
reason
for
myself
being
here
today
is
to
just
talk
about
the
alignment
with
a
top
risk,
Focus
area
that
we
have
for
the
city,
which
is
climate
resilience.
Now,
why
was
climate
resilience
a
top
risk
Focus
area
for
the
city?
N
N
Another
another
part
of
that
is
that
we
ran
a
series
of
council
plan
workshops
internally
with
about
100
senior
leaders
and
climate
resilience
came
up
in
just
about
every
one
of
them
because
it
actually
impacts
the
ability
to
achieve
our
other
council
plan
objectives
as
well,
and
it
really
is
because
of
the
diverse
range
of
risks
associated
with
with
climate
change
from
sea
level
rise,
Coastal
erosion,
infrastructure
impacts,
impacts
to
ecosystems,
insurance
for
Gold,
Coast
properties
and
planning
considerations,
and
reputational
and
social
considerations,
and
a
natural
hazards
and
disaster
events,
and
some
of
the
things
I've
just
mentioned
there.
N
N
So
last
thing
I
just
wanted
to
tell
the
committee
before
we
move
on
is
the
federal
government
is
actually
drafting
mandatory
disclosure
requirements
for
entities
for
climate
related
actions.
So
at
the
moment,
local
government
isn't
included
in
this.
But
it's
just
it's
just
good
to
acknowledge
that
the
federal
government
is
aligning
to
something
called
the
the
task
force
for
climate
related
Financial
disclosures.
It
is
a
a
group.
N
So
the
things
that
are
looking
to
be
reported
on
on
mandate
are
mandatory
for
reporting
for
entities
around
strategy,
governance,
risk
management,
metrics
and
targets.
A
lot
of
local
governments
are
starting
to
adopt
those
mandatory
reporting
indicators
and
it's
something
that
the
the
climate
resilience
and
sustainability
strategy
is
doing.
A
really
good
job
to
coordinate
the
various
things
we
need
to
do
for
for
climate
resilience
and
how
we
can
align
to
this
mandatory
reporting
again,
not
for
specifically
for
local
government
now.
N
But
federal
government
has
said
it's
a
phased
approach,
so
we'll
see
if
we
get
included
at
some
stage.
So
now
that
I've,
you
know,
talked
about
a
bit
of
the
Doom
and
Gloom
I'll,
throw
it
over
to
Alana
from
our
Brisbane
2032
team
to
talk
a
bit
about
opportunities.
P
Can
ask
a
question
for
Rich
before
we
move
on
all
right,
I
heard
a
comment
the
other
day
about
it
was
actually
about
Singapore
and
it
was.
It
was
about
Singapore's
risk
strategy
relating
to
climate
resilience
and
it
talked
about
rising
sea
levels,
and
it
was
that
they
had
recently
changed
some
of
their
modeling
such
that
it
went
from
maybe
three
minutes
to
five
minutes
or
something.
It's
I.
P
Don't
know
the
exact
figure,
but
it
was
a
significant
increase,
maybe
40
50
on
their
previous
stuff
and-
and
the
comment
was
made
to
me
that
that
the
City
of
Gold
Coast
might
not
might
not
be
doing
as
much
as
the
The
Wider
Global
other
similar
cities
around
the
place
are
doing
something.
Do
you
have
a
view
on
that
when
it
comes
to
the
club
resilience
and
our
water
infrastructure
close
to
canals
and
such.
N
I'm
not
I'm,
not
aware,
specifically,
sorry
through
the
chair
with
our
with
Singapore
and
what
they're
doing
specifically
and
anyone
around
the
panel
has
has
that
information.
N
We
are
doing
some
really
fantastic
work
already
through
the
city
through
the
climate
adaptation
strategy
and
those
kind
of
things
and
through
some
existing
work,
that's
happening
already
so
I
wouldn't
say
we
are
not
doing
things
whether
we
are
on
par
with
other
areas
around
the
world.
It's
probably
I'd,
say
we're
ahead
of
some
and
probably
behind
others.
P
F
Know
natural
hazards,
team,
they're
flood
modeling
allows
for
a
certain
level
of
sea
rise
within
the
flood
modeling,
which
you
guys
will
actually
look
in
those
blood
codes
and
things
today,
which
then
will
be
deferred
to
another
couple
of
weeks
after
we
look
at
how
how
that
impacts
in
terms
of
development
applications
and
approvals
through
our
da
offices.
F
So
we
do.
We
do
include
those
in
our
flood
modeling
that
the
guys
do
in
in
the
team
that
that
number
is
set
the
is
set
for
us
from
the
state.
We
could
be
a
bit
more
bold,
but
that
that
would
be
a
decision
that
Council
would
would
have
taken.
The
implications
of
that
would
need
to
be
assessed
by
the
team,
and
that
is
assessments
brought
back
to
you.
Thank.
N
You,
the
other
thing
we've
done.
Councilor
Tozer
is
there's
a
Queensland
climate
resilient
Council,
so
we
do
Benchmark
ourselves
against
other
councils
in
Queensland
yeah
as
far
as
I
go.
But
it's
it's
mainly
in
regards
to
the
different
coordination
of
activities
required
for
everything,
from
from
Net
Zero
to
adaptation,
planning
and
a
whole
stream
of
other
things,
internal
and
external
kind
of
measures
and
there's
I
guess
for
all
the
councils
that
have
signed
up
for
that
program.
There's
a
communal
kind
of.
O
P
O
No
worries:
thank
you.
Thanks
Richard
I'm
Alana
from
the
2032
City
coordination
unit,
I
work
with
Trish.
We
said,
Russia
had
a
really
cool
name
like
risky
rich,
but
unfortunately
not
I'm
just
here
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
around
the
opportunity
for
from
Brisbane
32
and
some
of
the
climate
commitments
that
were
made
by
the
city
as
a
delivery
partner
in
this
space.
O
So
the
ioc
in
2017
adopted
its
climate
resilience
strategy
which
looks
at
both
the
organization
itself
and
also
as
the
owner
of
the
Olympic
Games,
how
the
Olympics
will
run
the
ioc,
really
acknowledged
the
importance
of
waterways,
air
quality
and
open
space
to
sport
itself.
Obviously,
without
those
things
we
don't
have
sport.
This
diagram
here
is
straight
off
the
front
page
of
their
strategy
and
I
really
love
it
and
I
think
it
really
shows
you
know
the
links
between
sport
itself
and
healthy
waterways,
healthy
air
quality
and
open
space.
O
We
signed
our
delivery
partner
deed
as
you
would
be
aware
that
delivery,
partner
deed
highlights
some
high
level
commitments
around
sustainability,
they're
broken
down
into
five
themes,
and
you
can
see
those
themes
there,
infrastructure
and
natural
sites,
so
they're,
both
inside
and
outside
spaces,
where
Sports
take
place,
sourcing
and
Resource
Management.
So
that's
how
we
procure
Goods
Mobility
is
how
we
get
around
Workforce
is
how
we
treat
our
people,
both
employees
and
volunteers
and
climate,
so
indirect
and
direct
carbon
emissions.
O
So
the
piece
of
work
we're
doing
at
the
moment
and
we're
nearly
at
an
end
now,
so
we
will
bring
that
back.
Is
we've
been
trawling
through
our
existing
strategic
platform?
So
that's
you
know
all
of
the
strategies
and
plans
that
Council
already
has
our
Legacy
framework,
which
we
worked
with
councilors
individually
and
as
a
group
on
and
we're
looking
at
the
gaps
between
where
we
currently
are
and
what
our
aspirations
may
be
to
2032
and
look
at.
O
You
know
some
of
the
ways
that
we
can
Leverage
The
commitments
that
we've
made
to
best
fit
the
city
to
deliver
a
more
sustainable
city
as
we
move
into
32..
So
we
see
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
Mariam
and
team
and
we
see
the
opportunity
to
use
the
draft
climate
resilience
strategy.
Hopefully
the
climate
resilience
strategy
today
as
the
vehicle
to
deliver
on
those
commitments.
O
M
So
now
that
to
be
had
a
bit
of
overview
of
risk
and
opportunities
associated
with
this
new
strategy,
I'll
take
you
through
what
the
actual
strategy
is.
How
are
we
going
to
achieve
this?
It's
challenging
it's
big,
it's
complex,
but
we
think
we
have
a
good
framework,
so
the
strategy
breaks
it
down
into
three
key
theme
areas.
M
We
think
we
should
focus
on
our
backyard.
First,
as
a
council,
we
meet
a
lot
of
emissions
which
I
will
go
through.
We
have
a
target
of
becoming
a
net
zero
City
operations
Council
and
follow
some
of
the
other
councils
in
Australia
who
are
doing
that
now.
M
The
city
itself,
Gold
Coast,
also
has
emissions
our
community
meets.
Are
our
businesses
and
industries
to
pollute?
We
think
we
have
an
opportunity
to
work
with
them,
enable
them
Empower
them
and
do
whatever
we
can
to
reduce
our
impact
on
environment
as
a
whole
city,
and
the
third
area
is
around
resiliency
and
adaptation.
M
Our
city
operations
emits
around
720
000
tons
of
carbon
and
when
we
went
through
the
detail
of
where
these
emissions
comes
from,
our
landfills
are
the
biggest
emitters
of
our
operations,
so
50
of
our
emissions,
pretty
much
comes
from
our
scope,
fund
emissions
and
that's
from
the
landfill
and
air-based
operations.
Scope,
2
is
around
electricity
consumption
and
that's
mostly
related
to
our
wastewater
treatment
plants,
sewage,
reticulation,
Network
and
the
water
reticulation
operations.
M
Oops,
okay,
so
what
we
gonna
do
about
it
Priority
area,
one
we're
opposing
is
towards
zero
ways
to
landfills.
That's
an
aspiration,
and
we
think
we
can
do
that
by
applying
Kathy's
unicorn
plan,
which
is
to
establish
an
integrated
Recycling
and
energy
Precinct.
We
need
to
divert
organic
waste
from
the
landfills.
M
The
second
priority
area
we're
focusing
on
is
towards
100
renewable
energy.
Now
we
need
to
be
smart
here.
Sometimes
the
first
thing
comes,
to
our
mind,
is
putting
infrastructure
putting
more
solar
panels,
but
the
reality
is
that
these
infrastructure
itself
have
a
life
cycle.
The
building
of
this
material
and
then
end
of
life
of
this
material
also
has
an
impact
to
the
environment
and
has
lots
of
emissions.
So
why
don't
we
be
more
smart
about
our
choices?
M
Focus
on
becoming
more
efficient,
there's
lots
of
opportunities
to
load,
shifting
in
our
network
to
use
power
when
actually
the
grid
is
powered
by
Green
energy
and
also
accessing
green
energy
sources.
So
the
Queensland
government
now
has
its
strategy
for
we're
very
ambitious,
but
hopefully,
if
they
achieve
it
by
2038,
they
won't
agree
to
be
85
renewable
energy.
So
we
have
that
as
a
great
opportunity
to
Advocate
and
work
with
governments
as
well
and
number
three
is
a
rather
sculptory,
which
is
circular
economy.
M
We
would
love
to
work
on
having
carbon
neutral
events
having
more
sustainable
procurement,
Frameworks
measuring
and
minimizing
embodied
carbon
in
design
and
construction.
How
do
we
actually
reduce
the
impact
of
concrete
in
our
construction
and
and
that
sort
of
examples,
foreign
moving
to
the
city
now
720
000,
carbon
tons
of
carbon
was
our
city
operations.
Impact
7
million
is
the
whole
of
City
Impact.
So
by
having
this
aligned
approach,
sometimes
we
might
be
spending
millions
of
dollars
trying
to
reduce
the
impact
of
our
operations
by
this
much.
M
But
maybe
we
could
do
something
in
the
city
itself,
which
actually
has
a
much
better
impact.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
we
would
like
to
do
in
this
strategy
balance
the
ACT
versus
what
benefit
we
get
out
of
it
in
the
city.
M
The
electricity
and
transport
are
the
biggest
sources
of
emissions
and
pollution
to
the
air,
and
the
strategy
we're
proposing
is
sustainable
urban
planning.
So
what
we
can
do
through
our
City
Planning
and
design
to
ensure
better
outcomes
for
future
development
and
also
our
transport
planning.
We
need
more
active
transport,
we
need
more
public
transport
and
we
need
more
opportunity
for
cycling.
We
need
to
make
them
more
enjoyable,
connected
areas
for
people
to
be
able
to
actually
use
that
and
reduce
the
vehicle
use.
M
M
I
just
talked
through
to
that,
you
shouldn't
change,
voice,
mail,
resilience,
Gold,
Coast,
it's
simple,
so
we
have
built
environment,
natural
environment
and
Community
the
people
with
the
built
environment,
we've
divided
that
to
two
areas,
our
infrastructure
and
also
public
infrastructure.
So
our
infrastructure
also
needs
to
be
resilient.
We
have
billions
of
dollars
of
infrastructure,
those
networks,
pumps,
treatment,
plans,
roads
that
need
to
become
resilient.
So
the
first
thing
we
want
to
prioritize
doing
is
understanding
what
is
our
assets
vulnerability?
M
What
is
our
operations
and
services
vulnerability
and
how
do
we
develop
adaptational
strategies
to
pretty
much
address?
The
concern
that
you
mentioned
cancel
the
torsa.
The
second
area
is
around
better
understanding
our
financial
and
insurance,
Risk
insurance
risk
and
liabilities
with
the
second
part
of
the
city
itself,
and
public
assets
and
public
houses
and
properties.
We
also
have
implementation.
We
have
to
follow
on
on
implementation
of
our
Coastal
adaptation
plan,
which
looks
at
the
sea
level
rise
and
impact
of
that
to
the
city
and
also
some
water
management
plans
and
Implement.
M
Natural
environment,
we
have
several
strategies
which
are
working
on
that
we're
not
doubling
up
on
the
work,
an
actual
City
strategy,
our
healthy
waterways
and
catchment
programs,
and
protection
of
local
special
species
and
habitats,
and
the
last
area
is
around
working
with
Community,
increasing
their
knowledge,
potentially
having
establishing
a
community
climate,
Action,
Group
and
leveraging
from
the
power.
That's
out
there.
There's
lots
of
people
who
want
to
work
with
us.
A
B
So
can
I
just
ask
in
regards
to
how
electricity
and
there
was
a
slide
that
was
up
there
earlier,
that
showed
the
building
and
the
pumping
and
the
what
the
percentage
use
is
all
of
the
solar
panels
that
we
have
on
our
building
roads.
What
are
what
do
they
actually
contribute
in
regards
to
those
percentages.
M
B
M
There
we
go
so
it
includes
everywhere
we
have
in
solar
panels,
treatment
plants
and
all
the
buildings
and
to
just
emphasize,
we
already
have
used
up
all
the
roof
space
we've
had.
So
the
next
stage
of
our
solar
program
is
on
the
ground.
Mounted
solar
panels
in
two
of
the
treatment
plants
called
my
bubble
and
pimpoma.
But
currently
we
are
reviewing
that
again
in
crk.
If
it
is
going
to
cost
us
about,
eight
million
dollars
is
that
the
best
investment
to
get
only
0.007
of
our
emissions
reduction?
It's.
A
Q
Thanks,
of
course,
I
endorse
the
recommendation
that
we've
made
today,
but
I
kind
of
feel
like
a
lot
of
deja
vu
here,
that
we've
visited
all
this
stuff
in
2008
2009
and
we
set
ourselves
some
pretty
strong
targets
and
they
subsequently
just
got
dropped
in
the
bin,
and
we
have
to
be
mindful
of
that,
because
the
potential
is
for
that
to
occur
again.
So
I
wonder
about
adopting
these
sorts
of
strategies
that
clearly
set
us
out
on
a
Adventure
that
may
not
be
fulfilled.
Q
I
mean
we've
got
a
a
key
event
in
2032,
which
is
going
to
motivate
us
to
strive
for
these
sorts
of
outcomes.
But
beyond
that,
I
don't
know
and
I
think
that's
always
the
vulnerability
with
these
things.
So
we're
we're
in
a
much
better
position
now
too
to
progress
this
than
we
were
in
2008
in
the
sense
of
the
people
that
we've
got
the
skills,
the
expertise
and
the
Groundswell
of
knowledge
in
the
community
and
aspiration
in
the
community
to
drive
for
these
things.
A
I
think
it
was
said
too
and
you'll
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
with
the
you
know,
using
the
term
resilience
climate
resilience
I,
think
it
it
sort
of
like
the
expectations,
aren't
as
huge
and
I.
Think.
We've
we've
well
I
think
we've
met
sort
of
we're
starting
to
meet
moderate
targets
rather
than
high
expectations
that
we
can't
get
to.
But
we've
got
this
agreement
with.
You
know
the
partnering
with
the
com
games
the
Olympic
Games
now
too,
and
and
we're
committed
to
that
so
I
mean
you're
right.
Q
Interestingly,
that
they
might
come
in
on
in
response
to
that,
Richard
said
that
local
government's
been
excluded
from
the
national
agenda.
You
might
say,
and
that
really
is
bizarre
to
me,
that
they
haven't
identified
local
government
as
a
key
deliverer.
Well.
F
It's
they've
been
excluded
from
the
actual
mandatory
disclosure
statements
to
date.
The
the
thing
we
probably
need
to
keep
in
mind
is
back
in
2013,
local
governments
were
excluded
from
having
an
era
for
transfer
operations
and
in
2018
with
a
change
of
piece
of
legislation.
We
are
now
required
to
have
eras
for
any
transfer
station
over
11
000
tons
or
eleven
thousand
cubes
of
General
waste.
So
whilst
we
might
be
excluded
to
date
from
the
mandatory
disclosure,
we
also
have.
F
We
also
know
that
accounting
standards
are
actually
changing,
have
been
adopted
internationally
coming
into
West
International
to
be
adopted,
and
they
actually
have
Financial
sustainability
reporting
on
them
as
well.
So
we'll
we'll
be
we'll
be
getting
that
requirement
through
a
number
of
different
channels
as
well,
as
you
know
like.
Whilst
we
where
the
water,
the
water
business
for
example
or
industry,
has
significant
expectations
put
on
them
through
different
governing
bodies
as
well.
B
R
I
thought
they're.
The
important
part
in
this
was
is
that
instead
of
fluffy
targets,
it's
about
actual
practical
steps.
You
know
that's
when
we
endorsed
moving
forward
with
this
and
strengthening
what
we
put
in
this
the
corporate
plan
and
whatnot.
It
was
about
we
weren't
interested
in
fluffy
targets
that
were
just
there
to
for
fluffy
political
statements.
We
wanted
to
see
practical
measures
that
were
put
through
a
lens
of
a
cost
benefit
analysis.
R
You
know
and
not
knee-jerk
reactions,
of
let's
throw
solar
panels
everywhere
and
actually
cost
more.
It
has
more
of
a
climate
impact
than
the
solar
panels
reap
back
and
reward.
So
it's
a
positive
step,
four
that
we're
we're
looking
at
it.
From
that
point
of
view,
then,
looking
at
practical
measures
that
we
can
then
communicate
with
the
community
instead
of
how
some
other
levels
of
government
like
to
come
out
with
big
statements
with
absolutely
no
detail
behind
it.
A
A
K
K
P
A
Actually,
we
still
have
one
we
do.
We
do
have
another
presentation,
though
waste
collections,
sorry,
okay,
yeah,.
