So Sir, in anyone else wish to talk? I will close. So I acknowledge Councillor Lorentson's long-standing commitment and volunteer in a volunteer capacity and advocacy for people with a disability and appreciate that the speech she just gave was in relation to the amendment that didn't keep going in part in that there's no decision today about whether to include or not include anything in a budget we haven't been put before us yet what has been recommended is that we acknowledge the work in the project so what we're waiting for today isn't in regard to whether or not to have a more permanent role that matches what has been happening with this project it's simply to acknowledge the outcomes and the learnings. I'll put the motion those in favour. That's five which is Councillor Wilson, Councillor Wegener, Councillor Finzel, Councillor Phillips, Councillor Stockwell and those against is Councillor Lorentson and the vote is carried. We then move on to item 10. Is the Fees and Charges and we have Director Margaret Gatt here and manager of finance.

Good Councillor. Afternoon Councillors you would be aware whilst this report is contained within the agenda post the agenda being published on the website we discovered or we were made aware by the State government for right to information that there'd been a change to some of their fees that would have an impact on our Fees and Charges register and so therefore I've spoken to the CEO and seeking the chair's consideration that the report proper to be amended to include those right to information fees and also some other administrative areas that we uncovered post the publication of the agenda so formal seeking formally
