Frank Wilkie61:28Well, I'm making a ruling that it's. In October. The conference, we're all going, councils know it's in October. But we're making a decision on motions to go to the LGAQ conference today. And this complements, and it's entirely consistent. With the other motion, I don't understand the resistance.
Larry Sengstock71:18
I guess one is for me one is going to the LGAQ conference and the conference the motions have to be in by the 28th of July just check those dates the actual meeting is in October but this is a this is write a letter to the government so it's two separate things we're asking LGAQ to follow through and they would normally write a letter what we're doing what we're suggesting is we write a letter separately that's the way I read it.
Frank Wilkie89:19Thank you Councillor Phillips. All in favour of motion? That is unanimous. Next up financial 11.4.2 the Financial Performance Report for June 11.4.3 the operational plan 2025-2026 11.4.4 the 2025 LGAQ conference motions 11.4.5 appointment of the 2026 show holiday 11.4.6 General Committee recommendations on the block. I have a move and a second for the General Committee. Thank you Councillor Finzel. Councillor Wegener is seconded. Thank you. Any discussion? All in favour? That's carried. We have no reports direct to the Ordinary Meeting. We do have a confidential session. We deferred one report from the General Committee Meeting to the Ordinary Meeting, which was the contract award report, contract number CN24802, 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, remediation and subdivision works. That being so, I move that the meeting be closed to the public pursuant to section. 254J3G of the Local Government Regulation 2012 for the purpose of discussion. A contract proposed to be made by Council and in particular the potential commercial negotiations in relation to that contract for item 9.1, contract award report, contract number CM24802, 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, remediation and subdivision works. May I have a seconder for that, please? Thank you, Councillor Lorentson. All in favour? That is unanimous.
Frank Wilkie73:59That is true, we don't, today we are passing a motion to send these motions to the LGAQ policy executive. The policy executive will review them and they'll make the decision whether to actually go the conference where it will be debated and passed or not, before it goes on to the State government to let them know that, yeah, whereas this is a more direct route, it's not committing Noosa Council to doing anything or being a lead agency in any regard. As I said, KPMG reports as education consultation a key component of any trial.
