SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    6 JUNE 2017


Note the mobile beach refreshment business on Main Beach (Hey Bill) was not subject to EOI, as
this permit is an iconic lifetime permit, nor was the ice cream van (Frenzy Ice Cream) at the
eastern end of Main Beach (Park Road), as that permit expires in September 2020.

agreed evaluation criteria previously endorsed by Council at the Ordinary Meeting held on 16
March 2017.
