This meeting will be preceded by both informal engagement opportunities with the Councillors from

the Pomona Place Plan Phase 2. Both are major projects for the shire that are inviting community
feedback. There will also be opportunities for the community to have further informal discussions
after the Ordinary Meeting.

Section 257 (3) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 provides that:
“All meetings of a local government are to be held –
(a) at one of the local government’s public offices; or
(b) for a particular meeting – at another place fixed by the local government, by resolution, for the

The report recommendation meets the requirements of this section of the Regulation.

Council does not anticipate any technical issues in livestreaming the meeting, however should a
problem occur, the recording will be uploaded to Council’s website as soon as practically possible
after the meeting. Noting that this meeting is taking place in a historical building with high ceilings
and timber floors and therefore the sound quality may be affected by the different acoustics.
