Thanks, guys. Thank you. Well done. Thank you very much, guys. Thank you. He brought the good one. Thank you. Next, we're on to consideration number two, Small Business Friendly Councils Program. I don't get it.

Yeah, look, I think the recommendation that comes before us today is we're supporting. I think through COVID and where we've been during our time here as Councillors, we have actively, like you said, engaged with small business. We're working closely with small business, trying to get those outcomes to support small business. It's important to me as the environment across this Shire for functionality and how the ecosystems of our small business all get together and how we support that. So I'm happy to support the recommendation today. I think anything that we can do to move forward with the collective, it's not Council, it's across many councils that are moving forward to provide better framework and governance. So I'm happy to support this Small Business Friendly Councils Program today. Thank you.

Okay, morning Councillors. Morning. As we discussed at the workshop, this is the Small Business Friendly Charter that we are recommending that Council approve. We also are asking for the delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer to deal with any matters arising from the implementation of the charter. To refresh your memory, we brought this to you at workshop because we saw an opportunity to celebrate Small Business Month and an opportunity came up for us to sign this charter at the annual conference which is being held in the Sunshine Coast for the first time. So we thought that it was a great opportunity for Noosa Council to reaffirm its commitment to small business and all the things that we do across Council for small business. And as part of that for us to sign the charter and as part of the charter to do an audit into next year of all the different things and to put an actual number across all of the activities that we do so that Council is aware of the monetary value and having it quantified.
