Committee Recommendation
Moved: Cr Frank Wilkie
Seconded: Cr Amelia Lorentson
That Council
A. Note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the General Committee
Meeting dated 9 July 2024 and approve the submission of the following
motions to the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ)
Annual Conference 2024 for consideration and debate:
1. Motion A:
"That the LGAQ calls on the State Government to support councils to
establish a workplace giving program through the creation of a consistent
framework.
This framework should include guidelines for:
o Setting up workplace giving programs for local government
employees, Mayor and Councillors.
o Selecting eligible charities.
o Administering contributions and funds."
2. Motion B:
"That the LGAQ calls on the State government to
o Promote and encourage the adoption of wastewater recycling and
diversion initiatives statewide.
o Allocate necessary funding to Local governments and Wastewater
service providers for wastewater recycling and alternative
treatment option trials such as biosolid gasification
o Monitor and evaluate the outcomes of these projects to inform
future policies and initiatives.
o Explore what other states are doing to address wastewater
recycling to leverage collective knowledge and experience to
support and guide local governments and wastewater service
providers to transition to a circular economy.
3. Motion C:
“The LGAQ calls on the State government to amend the Queensland
Page 5
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES 15 JULY 2024
Electoral Act 1992 (or relevant legislation) to ensure how to vote (HTV)
cards issued at elections by third parties are fact checked and properly
authorised, just as HTVs are for registered candidates.”
4. Motion D:
“That the LGAQ advocate to the State Government of Queensland to
legislate that share economy platforms and providers such as Airbnb,
Booking.com and Stayz, and STA providers share their validated booking
data, inclusive of real property addresses, through a state-wide data
sharing agreement. This will allow local governments to have accurate
oversight of STA and effectively manage and regulate STA. This approach
to mandate the provision of validated STA booking data is already
successfully occurring in location such as New South Wales (NSW),
Tasmania, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada."
5. Motion E:
“That the LGAQ advocate for ALGA to be a Full Member on the Housing
Ministerial Council."
6. Motion F:
"That the LGAQ calls on the Queensland Government to undertake a
comprehensive review into the end of waste criteria for resource recovery
products against the specification for materials used in Federal, State and
Local Infrastructure projects."
7. Motion G:
"That the LGAQ calls on the State Government to direct Energy
Queensland to review and revise its Dynamic Network (Storage) Tariff as
proposed in its recent Tariff Structure Statement (TSS) currently under
assessment by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) for the next
regulatory control period (2025–2030) to ensure the elimination of barriers
to the widespread roll-out of community batteries across Queensland.
Carried unanimously.
