Frank Wilkie59:38Okay, look, I'll just draw a line on it out there. We can take this conversation offline. Thank you for bringing it to our attention about disparity. We can make that, we'll have a discussion about adjusting the Standing Orders. Absolutely. Thank you for raising that. Now I'll come to the appointment of the Chairperson to Council's Audit and Risk Committee. We have executive officer Jonci Wolff here to give us a summary.
Jonci is not around so I'll take that. Deliver the report? Yes. Thank you. Just a quick summary of where we're at. This report seeks the appointment of Ian Rushworth as the chairman of Council's Audit and Risk Committee. The term of the former Chairperson, Tim Cronin, concluded on the 12th of December 2025. The committee has recommended the appointment Ian Rushworth Chairperson for an initial three-year term. Ian has significant experience in internal audit and risk management and is currently the chief auditor at the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. He has served as an independent member of the committee since June 2023 and appointment will ensure continuity and seamless transition for the committee to deliver independent oversight and advice on audit and risk management matters. The report recommends that Council A. Note this report and B. Thank Tim Cronin for his contribution to the Audit and Risk Committee for the past six years and C. Appoint Ian Rushworth as the Chairperson of the Audit and Risk Committee for a term of three years. So I'll give that to you, Councillors. Thank you. I move the motion.
Nicola Wilson61:12Just briefly, I've worked with both Tim and Ian since my appointment to the Audit and Risk Committee last April, I've been both have been great to work with so I also thank Tim for his contribution in the last six years and I'm really pleased to see Ian appointed as our new Chair. I think he'll really add value to the committee.
