Welcome everybody to the General Committee Meeting for June 2023. Begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians on the land on which we're gathered here today, that's the Kabi Kabi people, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. We have everyone in attendance and now apologies. May we have a confirmation of the Minutes for the General Committee Meeting for the last month please. Moved, Councillor Lorentson. Seconded, Councillor Wegener. All in favour please. That's carried unanimously. We have no presentations, no deputations. We have 13 items for consideration today. And Councillors, if it's all right with you, there's been a request for item 9, delegations of authority annual review, up to item 1. Everyone in favour of that? Sure. Okay. So welcome, Alex and Di. Would you like to give us a. An overview of the report please?
