Legal / Risk

• National Competition Policy compliance retained for Waste (Full Cost Pricing s44 LGA 2009) and Holiday Parks (Code of Competitive Conduct s47 LGA 2009); review showed other activities below NCP expenditure thresholds (16:11–19:32; Item 2.4).
• Investment & Debt Policies adopted per ss191–192 LGR 2012; officers to review investment practices amid higher rates, managing counterparty risk while maintaining existing limits (08:49–14:20; Item 2.2).
• Entertainment & Hospitality Policy tightened to provide “clearer articulation and boundaries” for allowable spend, following audit and QAO advice – mitigating probity risk (08:49–11:45; Item 2.2).

• Separate Environment Levy retained (frozen), supporting continued environmental programs (Item 2.5 Res 7; 20:17–25:18).
Short-Stay/Transitory Accommodation & Rating Framework
• Council reaffirmed extensive differential rating categories, including distinct categories for transitory accommodation (home‑hosted, strata, non‑strata, 2–30+ dwellings), separating PPR vs non‑PPR (Item 2.5 Res 3).
• Brian Stockwell reiterated policy stance that transitory accommodation is a business activity warranting differential rating, with resident equity the primary focus this year (53:50–57:27; Item 2.5 Res 3).
