Thank you, we'll put the matter to a vote of all in favour. That is unanimous, noting that Councillor Wegener and Finzel did not vote, thanks for that. Welcome back. Thank you. Alright, can I have a mover and a seconder for the adoption of General Committee recommendations? Moved and Thank you Councillor Wilkie, seconded by Councillor Finzel. All in favour? Carried unanimously. Councillor Stockwell, thank you. Ordinary Meeting reports. We actually have one direct report for the Ordinary Meeting which is 9.1, 2023 LGAQ annual conference motions. We have our Acting CEO Larry Sengstock here to give us an update on this report. Thank you Larry.
Thank you. So so this is each year or. Annually we have the local government association of Queensland has their conference and they ask councils to put forward motions to get the support of other councils and those motions are then carried forward if unanimously accepted by the group at the meeting, potentially carried forward by the LGAQ in terms of advocacy and further work. This time we have four that are being put forward and what I'd like to ask is that the Councillors who are putting those motions forward to actually just read their motion in this meeting so that those motions but not the not all the detail just the short motion are we comfortable with that to.
Just wanted to make sure that people are watching, people in the gallery, these are just the motions, there is a whole lot of work that goes on behind those motions, so the Councillors have put that together and are hopefully comfortable for those comfortable to for those to go forward at the LGAQ conference later this year.
Amelia Lorentson34:13That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Ordinary Meeting and approve the following submissions. A. The LGAQ advocate to the State government of Queensland recommending that a submission made by Noosa Council to the National General Assembly at the Australian Local Government Association conference in 2023 is developed and agreed to by the ALGA board for Federal policy priority and implementation. The motion was carried unopposed. By 357 councils across Australia. Councils across Australia. That's one of the motions. The other motion is that LGAQ advocate to the State government of Queensland to formulate a state policy on ocean sewerage outfalls that aims at one, no new ocean and estuarine sewerage outfalls to be built or developed along the Queensland coastline. And two, dedicated funding to be provided to support local regional governments and wastewater providers with existing ocean and estuarine outfalls to develop new methods and technologies and make every effort to recycle treated wastewater generated within their localities and avoid the need to discharge in the ocean.
Frank Wilkie37:38A clarifying my understanding is these motions will now go to the LGAQ. Will now look at the motions and see whether they are the sort of motions they would like to put to the conference for a vote. And then if they're passed by the conference, then they will advocate. To decide to the State on government one of on these issues.
