Good afternoon and welcome to the Services & Organisation meeting Tuesday April 11, 2020-23. I declare the meeting open. I would like to begin this afternoon by an Acknowledgement of Country and I've taken of our Corporate Plan and I intend to use it. I actually love it. Noosa Council proudly acknowledges and respects Australia's First Nations people and their deep and abiding connection to this country. We recognise the Gubbi govi Gubbi or Kabi Kabi people as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters of the Noosa area and offer gratitude for their careful custodianship of this unique environment over thousands of years. We pay respect to Gubbi Gubbi or Kabi Kabi elders who have come before we acknowledge and deeply regret the traumas experienced by Kabi Kabi people through colonisation and beyond. We pay respect to current and emerging leaders and their enduring commitment in pursuing a strong and healthy future for First Nations people. I note there is an apology today, Councillor Joe Jurisevic and I note that Councillor Frank Wilkie and the Mayor Clare Stewart is in attendance. I also note Council observers, Councillor Karen Finzel and Councillor Tom Wegener in the I please request before commencing the meeting that everyone have their phones on silent or turned off. I would also like to remind Councillors of their obligations under the Council Code of Conduct to treat fellow Councillors and Council employees respectfully. I will now go to item two, confirmation of minutes. Can I have a mover? Thank you Clare Stewart and a seconder, thank you Councillor Wilkie. Now I'll go to item two, sorry now there are no presentations. Excuse me. I want you to put like to put that to the vote. All in favour please, thank you. That's carried unanimously. There are no presentations and there are no deputations so let's move to item five. Reports for consideration of committee. Firstly, are there any conflict of interest? I note there are no conflict of interest. So I'm going to request the staff member, Robyn Mercer, is on video conference. Hello, Robin. Welcome to the Services & Organisation meeting. I'd like to invite her to give us a summary and overview of the report before us. And I'll start Robin, by stating Robin that this matter was brought to Council at the Ordinary Meeting on the 15th of March. And my question is, why is this before us again and why has it changed? I'll pass it over to you.
