Frank Wilkie10:31Okay, any questions for Pauline? We have a mover for the motion please. Moved by Councillor Lorentson, seconded by Councillor Wilson. Also a bit slow on the feet due to an injury. Any discussion? No. Put the motion those in favour? That's carried unanimously. Next item on the agenda is the application of national competition policy reform. Pauline Coles can you give us the summary of this report please.
Council is required to decide whether to apply national competition policy reforms its identified business activities. NCP, or national competition policy, provides a greater transparency over council's businesses and assists with removing any anti-competitive conduct and ensures the best allocation of council's limited resources. Council has adopted NCP reforms with respect to its waste management and holiday park business activities since de-amalgamation in 2014. Council has undertaken a review of the nature of other services and activities it provides to the public, including its community facilities, including aquatic, leisure, events, arts and respite centres, as well as cemeteries and the digital hub. While these operations generate fees and operate on partial user pay systems, they do not have the necessary full cost recovery and profit-making focus. As such, Council is not seeking to apply NCP principles to these specific businesses. Accordingly, the recommendation is to continue to apply the full cost pricing reform to the operations of waste management and holiday parks for the 24/25 financial year.
