Thank you, there are no Mayoral minutes. We have one. Notified motion which is included in the agenda which is 10.1 divisional boundary would review. Councillor Finzel you like to move your motion?
Karen Finzel12:45
Yes, thank you. First of all, thank you to the Councillors and the CEO for their consideration of this motion. I think it's timely that when we, you know, a situation in time and place where there's a lot of change, we are leaders and it's prudent, in my opinion, to actually rigorously look at the systems that are serving us. Are they currently fit for purpose or is it time to, like, pull them out, illuminate them and. Have a review to see are they serving us effectively now and into the future? This is a matter about accessibility, transparency and accountability. I thank the CEO for his time to put forward his support for this motion to have a look at the boundary review to provide clear understanding of the process, identify the regulatory decision making and outline the expected time frame. That will provide also to Council an indication of cost and resources required to deliver the overall process. I think it's really important that when we sit in this role of leadership that we are informed by our past, our present and our future. I think in terms of looking at gaps and risks into the future. Think we need to be ready. There is a lot of change going on noting that the LGAQ boundaries to the south and the north of us are divisional and I think as we head towards growth in the region we need to be on the ready. Of course this doesn't mean that the current is not working as mentioned in the motion but I think it's prudent that we have a look at the best options available to us moving forward.
