GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   15 JANUARY 2018

  The pony club raised the utilities issue of the electricity , that council pay for
  the RV, Car Club water account and the pony club if metered would pay for
  their water.
  There is a restriction by council to limit the number of RV Vehicles which is fine
  for the RVpark operation but at least twice or more a year caravan clubs ,
  motor home clubs have a rallies and pony club have week and weekend
  schools which attract large horse floats with RV facilities and need to take up
  some of the other side of their grounds for parking of these vehicles. With
  greater number of vehicles they can no longer be permitted by council because
  of the increase numbers. The pony club and the car club cater for these events
  to help with fund raising. This fund raising should remain with the clubs and
  not to council and it should be noted that the car club make generous
  donations to the community and would create goodwill toward council.
  The other suggestion for council consideration is a pathway around the back
  of Ritek, does not have to be concrete / bitumen just crusher dust because the
  area floods so you just place another load of crusher dust lot cheaper and is
  done all round Australia particular in flood prone areas. The path would
  continue to join up with the pathway to the library and town centre.
  The receipts from July to date is approx $50,000.00 of monies spent in Cooroy
  and districts. This being about 30% of the expenditure because many RV
  people did not place receipts in the container , forgot or got thrown away or
  did not request one. This has been verified by the recent caretaker.
  The submitters met with the car club on 3 occasions and the pony club once as
  per instruction by the councillors we met at the grounds back late last year
  and February 20017
  We the submitters request council to consider the submissions and process the
  implementation for the benefit of the whole shire and to be put on the map as
  being a really RV friendly town.
