GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                            14 AUGUST 2023


            feedback on the Eastern Beaches Foreshore Reserves Management Plan. The
            Office of the Independent Assessor and legal advice has indicated the Eastern
            Beaches Foreshore Reserves Management Plan is not Ordinary Council business
            because it relates to a specific geographical area and given links to groups who
            have made submission to it ought to be declared. I will now leave the meeting room
            while the matter is discussed and voted on.
            Cr Finzel left the meeting.
