The purpose of it may seem a perfunctory thing the way we've handled this, Ben, but one of the reasons why we asked that this be brought to us was let the community know that there are high-level approvals. Noosa Council is a very effective machine in terms of development approvals, about 96% of averages, and a lot of this work is done under delegated authority by your team. So we appreciate it. Thank you. Put it to the vote, those in favour? That's unanimous. Thank you. Very good. Thank you, Ben. Next is the operational plan quarterly reporting delivered by executive officer Jonci Wolff.

I'm happy to take that question through the Chair so there's the terms of reference and the formal reporting structure we did with the association of south which is done on a quarterly basis but we Councillors will ultimately see the outcome of that from a financial perspective as every year in the lead up to the budget we talk about not only the ratings structure but also special levies and as part of that we have referenced the idea around a rating strategy this year so one of the things we are looking through in the current financial year is looking at that 10-year asset management plan that ultimately underpins there and that's where the visibility of that program will be provided to Councillors, knowing that for both of these levies they are insular, they're the only people that fund works or are part of the association themselves so there's no real, historically there's been no real broader impact to general rates but the intent is through the budget you will get visibility of the work we undertake this year.
