I live in Port 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.696 Melbourne. I've recently bought a 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.696 property in Ralph Street. Previous to 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.855 that, I was living up in Evan Street 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.879 near the Northport Hotel and to this 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:11.496 council incidentally. Thank you for 00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:14.376 ? the park. It's brilliant and I 00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:15.816 believe that you guys were instrumental 00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:17.976 in making that happen. Thank you. That's 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.536 a little sidebar since moving into 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.015 the apartment that I recently 00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:26.039 bought, I noticed that the hoon behavior 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.199 from motorbikes and cars is much more 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.216 noticeable down the beach end of Bay 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.216 Street living up in Evan Street near 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.096 the Northport Hotel. About 9:30 every 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.336 evening, you could hear the motor 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.360 motorbikes roaring, literally roaring 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.200 up Bay Street And 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.399 several blocks away at my residence 00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.336 in Evans Street, I thought, you know, 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.736 they're extremely loud. Now, leaving one 00:08:53.760 --> 00:08:56.760 block off the pace, it is incredibly 00:08:56.959 --> 00:08:59.959 loud. They are accelerating from the two 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.896 traffic lights from the beach moving up 00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:04.136 Bay Street. I've got a bike driver's 00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:06.856 license. I used to ride bikes many years 00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:09.880 ago obviously but the power that 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:11.736 those machines have and when you hear 00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:14.456 them accelerating strongly through 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.016 first, second, third gear, then perhaps 00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:20.040 up even into fourth, they must be doing 00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:23.656 close to 100 km an hour in a 40 zone. 00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:25.096 I'm just really concerned that the 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.736 wisdom the number of people in that 00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:29.976 part of town. There's four pubs on the 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.056 first block there. There's more cafes, 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.216 bars, restaurants up the street, which 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.976 is phenomenal. It's a incredible place 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.815 to live. I'm just really concerned that 00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:39.495 one night someone's going to walk out 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.495 there after having a couple of drinks 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.976 too many, could even be me, and he's 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.776 going to get hit hi Heather. Thank 00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:48.935 you for meeting me at the forum the 00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:51.736 other evening so basically just 00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:54.696 concerned we just want to make this 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.696 group aware that it is a real problem. 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.616 It's a real situation and something does 00:09:58.640 --> 00:10:00.776 need to be done to for public safety in 00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:02.136 the moment. 00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:03.896 Thank you Trevor.

So council 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:16.776 is is certainly aware of the community 00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:18.536 concerns relating to hooning within Port 00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:20.136 Melbourne in the area and have 00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:22.776 received a number of requests to address 00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:24.296 road safety and amenity concerns 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.375 relating to the issue. So we understand 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.055 these behaviors are a significant issue 00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:29.896 for the affected residents and visitors 00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:32.536 as well as you mentioned so as well 00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:33.976 as working with police to address the 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.736 hoon activity, officers are currently 00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:37.736 assessing the community requests and 00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:39.176 reviewing options to provide a 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.096 coordinated response to the matter and 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.696 these options are to be discussed with 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.696 the counselors in July. 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.416 Great. Thank you very much. 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.440 Thank you for the opportunity to speak. 00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:53.255 And it might be worth touching on some 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.055 of our advocacy as well, Mr. CEO. 00:10:56.079 --> 00:10:58.456 Yeah, thank you Mayor. just noting 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.480 that we also have been doing work on our 00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:04.680 acoustic camera trial that's been 00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:08.616 announced by the state government and 00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:10.456 we understand that city of Port 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.536 Phillip will be one of the locations. 00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:14.055 We're still working through the details. 00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:16.456 We had a briefing with the local police 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.696 commander last week more broadly. He was 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.456 also very supportive of efforts in that 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.776 space. 00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:24.776 Thank you. 00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:26.856 next public question is from Frank 00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:29.336 Artuso. 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.016 I know you know the drill, Frank, but 00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:32.776 for consistency, two minutes 00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:34.456 starting with your name and suburb. 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:35.815 It takes me two minutes to get to the 00:11:35.839 --> 00:11:38.839 table. 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.815 Frank Artuso Albert Park. If it's not 00:11:47.839 --> 00:11:49.896 visible on the street, road safety isn't 00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:51.976 working in the public interest. Question 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.976 one, what evidence demonstrates that 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.736 lessons from the Department of Transport 00:11:55.760 --> 00:11:58.760 2022 pop-up bike lane trial have 00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:01.815 informed road map to zero and how will 00:12:01.839 --> 00:12:04.375 those lessons be applied in future 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.615 project delivery across the strategy 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.639 fourpillar approach? Question two, what 00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:12.680 is the heir's traffic counts program and 00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:14.375 how does it inform the strategy 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.815 currently and decision-making in the 00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:18.839 next five years? Question three, how has 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.519 RMIT research and lower speed limits and 00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:25.416 their impact on pedestrians and cyclists 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.440 safety and vehicle travel times informed 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.639 the strategy? Question four. Since Port 00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:35.160 Phillips road user safety strategy in 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.016 2013, 00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:38.856 Melbourne's most popular vehicle has 00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:41.176 shifted from the Toyota Corolla to the 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.200 Ford Ranger, which is 77% larger in 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.856 volume and nearly twice as heavy, which 00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:48.856 actions within the strategy specifically 00:12:48.880 --> 00:12:51.880 address this trend. Question five, 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.696 given planning schema amendment 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.216 VC277, 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.856 revision of car parking requirements in 00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:01.336 multi-unit developments, how has this 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.016 change incorporated into the strategy 00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:04.776 with respect to transport and car 00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:06.615 parking impacts? 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.495 Question six, with what specific 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.576 elements of road map to zero will be 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.495 subject to internal and external 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.576 professional risk assessment and audit 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.495 and how frequently will those reviews 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.296 occur? Question seven, how will the 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.856 council coordinate action 3.3 00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:25.416 implementation of the 2025 Victorian 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.440 speeds zoning policy around schools 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.200 with action 2.3 consultation and safety 00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:35.880 system assessment process. 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:40.536 Thank you, Frank. The response will be 00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:42.375 provided by Mike Fischer, manager of 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.399 city planning and sustainability. 00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:48.615 through you may and thank you for the 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.176 questions Frank. So question one the 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.336 safe travel strategy is intended to 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.935 provide a consistent and transparent 00:13:54.959 --> 00:13:56.856 approach to raid safety in Port Phillip 00:13:56.880 --> 00:13:58.216 aligned with the state and federal 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.136 government. The strategy is not an 00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:01.896 implementation plan for bike lanes or 00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:04.536 any other mode of transport. Any future 00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:06.375 infrastructure projects, including new 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.615 bike lanes delivered by the city of Port 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:10.136 Phillip, will continue to be subject to 00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:11.896 detailed investigations to determine 00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:14.296 their impact and benefits and be subject 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:15.976 to public engagement in accordance with 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.896 the comm council's community engagement 00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:20.296 policy and report to council for 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.255 endorsement. question two, um, 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.656 artificial intelligence road safety 00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:27.576 survey sensors provide council with 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.336 in-depth insights on the movement of 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.495 different user types at specific 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.456 locations. unlike traditional traffic 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.216 surveys, the data gathered through these 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.896 sensors can identify the movement of 00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:40.615 people and not just vehicles and can 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.456 identify incidents classified as near 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.935 misses. This provides council with 00:14:44.959 --> 00:14:46.696 greater insights to road safety risk 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.216 allowing us to be more proactive in 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.055 addressing road safety rather than 00:14:50.079 --> 00:14:52.696 waiting for an incident to occur. 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.656 question three, while the research 00:14:55.680 --> 00:14:57.255 referred to was not directly used to 00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:58.935 inform the strategy, the findings 00:14:58.959 --> 00:15:00.136 support the state government's 00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:02.935 introduction of the new 30 km an hour 00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:05.416 speed limits at targeted locations and 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.440 its recently updated speed zone policy. 00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:10.296 The research modeled the impact of 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.136 blanket restrictions to speed limits on 00:15:12.160 --> 00:15:13.656 local roads in Melbourne, which is a 00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:15.336 scenario that is not considered under 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.096 the strategy. 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.856 The research also highlighted that 00:15:18.880 --> 00:15:21.175 safety benefits of reduced speed limits 00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:24.199 outweighs the impact on journey times. 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.776 Question four, the size and weight of a 00:15:26.800 --> 00:15:28.856 vehicle are important contributing fact 00:15:28.880 --> 00:15:30.856 elements in determining the severity 00:15:30.880 --> 00:15:32.456 of a crash particularly for vulnerable 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.935 road users such as pedestrians. Safe 00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:36.935 vehicles are one component of the safe 00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:39.896 system approach within the strategy. 00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:41.495 However, all the actions of the strategy 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.255 are designed to ensure that when crashes 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.175 do occur, the overall likelihood of that 00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:47.096 crash resulting in a fatal or serious 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.120 injury are diminished. 00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:52.776 Question number five. So, while this 00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:54.856 amendment has not been a direct input to 00:15:54.880 --> 00:15:57.096 the safe travel strategy, the overall 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:58.696 intent of the strategy is to achieve 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.696 zero deaths or serious injuries in Port 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.016 Phillip by 2050 regardless of what mode 00:16:03.040 --> 00:16:06.040 of transport people are using. Um, 00:16:06.079 --> 00:16:08.536 question number six. Um, as part of the 00:16:08.560 --> 00:16:10.136 design process for any future road 00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:11.976 infrastructure projects, an independent 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.815 road safety audit would be undertaken by 00:16:13.839 --> 00:16:16.216 a professionally qualified audit team. 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.375 The safe system principles in the safe 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.216 travel strategy are embedded within 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.016 national road safety audit guidelines. 00:16:23.040 --> 00:16:24.776 and just to note that the safe 00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:26.296 travel strategy has been reviewed and 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:27.815 endorsed by the transport accident 00:16:27.839 --> 00:16:29.976 commission whose role it is to provide 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.896 promote road safety and support those 00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:34.296 injured um on the road network in 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.320 Victoria. And question seven, um, 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:39.976 council would seek community feedback on 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:41.656 speed zone changes in alignment with the 00:16:41.680 --> 00:16:43.815 council's engagement policy. the 00:16:43.839 --> 00:16:46.839 Victorian speed zone zoning policy 00:16:46.880 --> 00:16:48.375 provides specific guidance for 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.776 stakeholder engagement and speed limits 00:16:50.800 --> 00:16:53.800 um on school speed zones. 00:16:54.160 --> 00:16:56.055 Thank you, Frank. 00:16:56.079 --> 00:16:58.776 Thank you, Frank. Our next question is 00:16:58.800 --> 00:17:01.800 from John Webster. 00:17:05.120 --> 00:17:08.120 not here. John's not online at all. 00:17:11.360 --> 00:17:13.096 In which case, our next question will be 00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:15.736 from Maria Yevik. Welcome. 00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:16.456 Thank you. 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.616 Starting with your name, suburb, and 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.415 then up to two minutes. Maria, welcome. 00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:24.216 Thank you. My name's Maria Jevik and I 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.895 run the planetary healing artists 00:17:25.919 --> 00:17:28.696 association of Australia for the LA past 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.015 15 years. We're a multicultural 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.039 community arts organization and this 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.160 place has been a major part of my life. 00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:41.080 So look, for years while renting a small 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.440 office from council in in at Mary Kho 00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:48.136 Center at the back, we have experienced 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.160 ongoing security issues and unauthorized 00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:53.895 access that have not been adequately 00:17:53.919 --> 00:17:56.919 addressed. And it this changed when we 00:17:58.320 --> 00:18:00.936 installed CCTV cameras.

Welcome, 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.136 Michael. 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:06.936 Hello. Um, Michael Sabata. I'm a 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.336 resident of South Melbourne. Um, 00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:12.360 yesterday I received a in the mail a DL 00:20:13.280 --> 00:20:16.056 postcard help shape South Melbourne Town 00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:18.056 Hall public space. I have a few 00:20:18.080 --> 00:20:20.296 questions about it. Um, how many of 00:20:20.320 --> 00:20:23.320 these have been mailed out? two, can 00:20:23.919 --> 00:20:26.056 they break down by postcode of those 00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:28.535 that have been sent? Please be 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:30.135 provided 00:20:30.159 --> 00:20:33.159 this invitation. Um, and have they 00:20:33.280 --> 00:20:35.416 been distributed in any other manner? 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.440 Eg. letter boxing as I know that 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:40.296 residents across from South Melbourne 00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:42.775 Town have across from South Melbourne 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.799 Town Hall have received nothing in the 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.000 mail or in their letter boxes. 00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:52.296 my fourth question is why are there 00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:55.320 no posters or these DL cards in any 00:20:57.520 --> 00:20:59.655 of the public locations in South 00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:01.655 Melbourne such as the Emerald Library 00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:03.096 and I was there last night and I can 00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:04.856 tell you there was nothing there. South 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.216 Melbourne Community Center, South 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:07.655 Melbourne Maternal and Child Health 00:21:07.679 --> 00:21:09.336 Center, Salt Green Reserve, South 00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:11.736 Melbourne Market, etc. areas where you'd 00:21:11.760 --> 00:21:13.416 expect residents who would would want to 00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.440 have a say would be present and might 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:19.736 be encouraged. And my fifth question is, 00:21:19.760 --> 00:21:21.336 will the future stage of the project 00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:24.360 allow review and input by the public as 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.176 the design becomes more detailed? Unlike 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.336 the case of the south ninj hall where 00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:31.176 residents had no idea that city of poor 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:32.456 field for example was going to demolish 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:34.056 a part of the west wing of the building 00:21:34.080 --> 00:21:35.655 nor the some of the other extensive 00:21:35.679 --> 00:21:38.679 works that have taken place there. The 00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:42.360 um manner of the consultation I'm 00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.856 seeking to clarify is whether it's going 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:46.535 to be two-way or whether we're simply 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.096 going to be our people's good intentions 00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:51.015 and motherhood statements are all that's 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:52.775 going to be um recorded in terms of 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.799 public input. Thank you. 00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.416 Thank you, Michael. A response will be 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.976 provided by Mike Fischer, our manager of 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.056 city planning and sustainability. 00:22:04.080 --> 00:22:05.655 through you, Mayor, and thank you for 00:22:05.679 --> 00:22:07.655 the question, Michael. So, in regards to 00:22:07.679 --> 00:22:09.496 the number of postcards, a total of 00:22:09.520 --> 00:22:11.336 3,166 00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:13.336 postcards have been distributed to 00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:15.496 owners and occupiers within a 400 meter 00:22:15.520 --> 00:22:18.520 radius of the Emerald Hill site. 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.576 in terms of a breakdown of of um post 00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:23.096 code, the majority of recipients are 00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:25.976 located when the post code 3205 in South 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:27.736 Melbourne. However, the mail mail out 00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:29.976 was not strictly postcode based based on 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.135 that 400 meter radius. So it captures 00:22:32.159 --> 00:22:34.376 all properties within that 400 meter 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:36.535 radius regardless of post code. That 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:38.056 means some recipients outside this 00:22:38.080 --> 00:22:39.655 postcode may have been included where 00:22:39.679 --> 00:22:42.679 they fall within it. in terms of the 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.936 postcards have been distributed via 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:47.015 Australia Post and delivery has been 00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.256 scheduled within the 1st to the 3rd of 00:22:49.280 --> 00:22:52.280 June window this week. Um I'm happy to 00:22:52.320 --> 00:22:54.936 follow up on those properties if um to 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:56.376 get those addresses and just follow up 00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:58.056 on that just to make sure that they have 00:22:58.080 --> 00:23:01.015 got those if they're within that radius. 00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.655 Um in addition to the mail out 14 core 00:23:03.679 --> 00:23:05.336 flute signs are being installed on site 00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:07.096 and around the Emerald Hill precinct. 00:23:07.120 --> 00:23:08.616 Installation is occurring from today 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:10.936 onwards. Posters will also be displayed 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.535 at relevant council and community 00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:14.696 facilities including locations such as 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.056 the Emerald Hill Library, South 00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:17.816 Melbourne Community Center and others. 00:23:17.840 --> 00:23:19.416 And the roll out will be this week and 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.440 into next week. Um and in terms of the 00:23:23.520 --> 00:23:25.416 the future the engagement and future 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.015 engagement. So the pro the project has 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:29.096 two stages of community engagement. The 00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:31.976 stage one is currently underway runs 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.936 until the 28th of June and feedback from 00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.176 the stage will then inform the draft 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.895 master plan. stage two engagement is 00:23:39.919 --> 00:23:42.919 in anticipated in late 2026 early 2027 00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:45.096 which provides a further opportunity for 00:23:45.120 --> 00:23:46.856 the community to review and provide 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:48.936 input on the more detailed and developed 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:51.960 design. So um certainly um some clear 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:54.456 opportunities for good engagement and 00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:55.736 we're really open to hearing that 00:23:55.760 --> 00:23:58.760 feedback um from now.

We 00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:59.096 provide training assistance to hems 00:27:59.120 --> 00:28:01.576 rescue pilots, winch operators, and 00:28:01.600 --> 00:28:04.375 paramedics and public training in safe 00:28:04.399 --> 00:28:07.399 boating. We are located at Sincera 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.056 Marina and so we have a large interest 00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:12.696 in marina leasing and any development 00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.720 that may occur. What we would like is to 00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.176 be kept directly informed and not rely 00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:21.496 on newsletters and the like to be 00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:24.520 listened to about our needs to be 00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.736 involved in any marina development 00:28:27.760 --> 00:28:29.816 discussions. 00:28:29.840 --> 00:28:32.840 ensure that our leasing needs are met 00:28:33.760 --> 00:28:36.456 and so that we can continue to meet safe 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.480 boating and rescue needs for the public 00:28:39.679 --> 00:28:42.679 of Victoria. And yes, we are also 00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:45.015 challenged by matters around jet skis 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:47.736 from time to time. 00:28:47.760 --> 00:28:49.496 Thank you for the opportunity. Thank 00:28:49.520 --> 00:28:51.816 you, Peter. And a counselor may wish to 00:28:51.840 --> 00:28:53.655 take your questions on your behalf 00:28:53.679 --> 00:28:55.096 when we get to that agenda item. So, 00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:57.255 thank you for your submission to item 00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:58.056 10.1. 00:28:58.080 --> 00:29:00.775 Thank you. That brings us now to item 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.416 13.1, the proposal to readress the 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.135 Hallmark building. Starting with 00:29:06.159 --> 00:29:08.696 Victoria Goodwin, if you who's 00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:11.720 joining us online. No, 00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:14.535 we might come back to Victoria if she 00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:16.535 joins a bit later on, in which case 00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.559 we're over to Karen Baines. Welcome. 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.216 And starting with your name and suburb 00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:26.135 and then up to two minutes. Karen, 00:29:26.159 --> 00:29:29.159 welcome. 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.096 My name is Karen Baines and I live in 00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:35.576 South Melbourne. I have lived in an 00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:37.655 apartment adjacent to the Hallmark 00:29:37.679 --> 00:29:40.679 building for 28 years. In appreciation 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:43.976 of time restraints tonight, I wish to 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.535 make three key points. 00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:49.496 One, correcting the abnormality of 00:29:49.520 --> 00:29:52.375 numbering will remove the confusion in 00:29:52.399 --> 00:29:54.216 location for those attending the 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:57.240 Hallmark building. It will also assist 00:29:57.679 --> 00:30:00.456 and resolve many issues for the local 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.416 community at large, including 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:05.496 alleviating some of the buildup of 00:30:05.520 --> 00:30:08.520 traffic on Albert Road. Point two, the 00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:12.600 necessity for accurate, direct, and 00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:15.799 timely emergency services response for 00:30:15.919 --> 00:30:18.456 the residents of the Hallmark building 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.456 is paramount. 00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.015 This being a key reason why the new 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.039 numbering as proposed must be adopted. 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.279 Point three, renumbering of the hallmark 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.576 will have benefits for their residents 00:30:33.600 --> 00:30:36.600 with vehicles attending more likely to 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:39.336 utilize Park Street parking bays 00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:42.360 directly adjacent to their building or 00:30:42.399 --> 00:30:45.399 their services bays accessed off Skilda 00:30:45.520 --> 00:30:48.520 Road. the defaulting to Albert road road 00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:52.535 resulting in confusion, hindering and 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:55.559 blocking of access to other buildings as 00:30:55.679 --> 00:30:57.816 well as the encroachment on the bike 00:30:57.840 --> 00:31:00.840 lane will be greatly reduced as a direct 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.960 result. In conclusion, I strongly urge 00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:07.816 councilors to endorse the readressing of 00:31:07.840 --> 00:31:10.840 the Hallmark building to 384 Silda Road, 00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:14.600 Melbourne as proposed and without delay. 00:31:15.120 --> 00:31:17.416 Thank you. Thank you. 00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:20.056 Thank you, Karen. next speaker is 00:31:20.080 --> 00:31:21.655 Maxwell Goodwin, who's joining us 00:31:21.679 --> 00:31:24.456 online. Nope, we might come back to 00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:26.696 Maxwell. 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:28.856 In which case, our next submitter to 00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:31.880 this item is Liz White. Come on down. 00:31:32.159 --> 00:31:33.976 Starting with your name, suburb, and up 00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.296 to two minutes. Welcome, Liz. 00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:37.576 Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, 00:31:37.600 --> 00:31:40.600 councilors. Um, my name is Liz White. 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:43.880 I'm an owner of um unit 1110 at the 00:31:44.320 --> 00:31:46.535 Hallmark. I am also chair of the 00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.559 Hallmark Owners Corporation Committee. 00:31:49.679 --> 00:31:52.679 we are a legal entity of 155 lot 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.279 owners comprising well over 300 owner 00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.039 occupiers, tenants, landlords, and 00:32:00.080 --> 00:32:02.775 registered businesses on site. And 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:05.655 whilst I'm not here to advocate for a 00:32:05.679 --> 00:32:08.535 position, it is my duty of care to 00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.015 provide context and facts that help 00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:14.039 inform your decision tonight, as well as 00:32:14.080 --> 00:32:16.216 any ongoing discussions with our 00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.176 stakeholders. It has been two close to 00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.255 two years since this issue was first 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.279 raised um and one year since the closing 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:27.559 date for lot owners to submit um to 00:32:27.679 --> 00:32:29.736 provide submissions to council. 00:32:29.760 --> 00:32:31.736 Respectfully, this form of community 00:32:31.760 --> 00:32:34.216 cons consultation actually represents a 00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.240 straw poll from our our perspective. 00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:39.736 Ideally, the issue and council's 00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:41.576 recommendation would have been 00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:44.375 transparently discussed at our recent 00:32:44.399 --> 00:32:47.399 AGM on the 20th of April 2026 00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.015 with a large proportion of lot owners 00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.976 in attendance. But in effect, um the 00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:55.895 first we've seen of the proposal in 00:32:55.919 --> 00:32:57.895 front of you tonight was when it was 00:32:57.919 --> 00:33:00.919 released um with the agenda on Friday. 00:33:01.840 --> 00:33:04.840 Um so four points to make. the 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:07.736 proposal and recommendations in their 00:33:07.760 --> 00:33:10.135 current form demonstrate an 00:33:10.159 --> 00:33:12.216 inconsistent application of standards 00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.216 between number two Albert Road and 00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.775 number one Albert Road and there's no 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.495 structural impact assessment including 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:21.655 financial implications. The 00:33:21.679 --> 00:33:23.655 recommendation doesn't draw draw on a 00:33:23.679 --> 00:33:26.679 body of evidence and um the proposal 00:33:27.600 --> 00:33:29.895 collectively refers to emergency 00:33:29.919 --> 00:33:32.919 services when um this is um ambulance 00:33:33.600 --> 00:33:36.600 attendance and has um and police and 00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.176 fire services have not raised or 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:41.416 acknowledged similar concerns. Thank 00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:41.736 you. 00:33:41.760 --> 00:33:43.255 Thank you, Liz. Right on time. Well 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:44.775 done. 00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.799 next speaker to this item is Ray 00:33:48.080 --> 00:33:49.655 Wells. 00:33:49.679 --> 00:33:52.616 Ray is joining us online. Welcome Ray. 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.640 Good evening. 00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.519 May wish to unmute. 00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.615 We can come back to Ray. Maybe just 00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:12.936 check his microphone settings. We will 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:14.456 come back to you Ray. Thank you for 00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.480 joining us online. Our next speaker is 00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.095 Trevor Southerntherland joining us in 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.119 person here this evening. 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:27.095 Welcome Trevor. Starting with your name 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.496 suburb and then up to two minutes. 00:34:29.520 --> 00:34:31.176 Thank you very much. I'm Trevor 00:34:31.200 --> 00:34:32.776 Southerntherland. I live at the Hallmark 00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:34.936 Apartments in Albert Road in South 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.960 Melbourne. Um I felt I had to come and 00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:41.416 speak to council about this proposal 00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:43.335 that's been put tonight to readress our 00:34:43.359 --> 00:34:45.976 building. I feel it's that the case 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:48.456 that's been made is extremely weak. Um 00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:51.480 it talks about unsafe delivery practices 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.320 may result in delays for emer emergency 00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:58.696 services but no incidents have been 00:34:58.720 --> 00:35:01.416 reported. It's a risk consideration but 00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:04.296 not a compliance consideration. And now 00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:06.296 we've had our neighbors say it's would 00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:08.536 be more convenient for us if we had a 00:35:08.560 --> 00:35:11.560 secur road address. Well, in fact, I 00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:14.136 think that completely misunderstands the 00:35:14.160 --> 00:35:16.856 the scale of confusion that would be 00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.736 caused if we were required to change all 00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.760 300 owners and occupiers. We're required 00:35:23.200 --> 00:35:25.335 to change our addresses in Ca Road. The 00:35:25.359 --> 00:35:27.736 submission from council officers does 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.296 recognize some of that administration. 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.696 It mentions 17 different types of 00:35:32.720 --> 00:35:34.776 entities that we would need to advise of 00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:37.416 our change. I can think of numerous 00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:40.440 more. um for example, wills, powers of 00:35:40.560 --> 00:35:42.936 attorney, Medicare cards, MBN, internet 00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:44.776 providers, and all of our personal 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:46.616 contacts. 00:35:46.640 --> 00:35:49.640 And to me, the risk that we're talking 00:35:49.680 --> 00:35:51.575 about, the problem we're talking about 00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:54.216 solving here is completely 00:35:54.240 --> 00:35:56.136 overwhelmed by the chaos and confusion 00:35:56.160 --> 00:35:58.456 that would be caused by the attempt to 00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.176 implement the response. To me, this 00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:04.200 seems a simple solution that the council 00:36:04.240 --> 00:36:06.456 could require the hallmark to improve 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.480 the signage on the site to Albert Road. 00:36:09.680 --> 00:36:11.575 It can face Sincera Road. It can face 00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:13.736 Albert Road and to me that would resolve 00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.456 the issue satisfactorily. Thanks for 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:18.055 your attention. 00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:21.079 Thank you very much, Trevor. 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:25.079 We'll come back to Ray Wells. 00:36:26.240 --> 00:36:29.240 Welcome, Ray. 00:36:34.560 --> 00:36:36.536 just check Ray if you wouldn't mind 00:36:36.560 --> 00:36:38.216 checking your microphone settings. It 00:36:38.240 --> 00:36:41.240 seems like you might be on mute still. 00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:51.800 All right, we'll 00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:56.119 we'll call 00:36:57.359 --> 00:36:59.656 and the deputy Mayor is just joined 00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:02.680 us as well, I believe. 00:37:06.240 --> 00:37:08.296 other online speakers, Victoria 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:11.320 Goodman, any update there? 00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:14.920 No. and also Maxwell Goodwin. Any 00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:18.599 update? We do have a submission from 00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:23.960 Donald Kite who is ill this evening. 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:27.000 so as per governance rules 53.7 I 00:37:28.720 --> 00:37:31.720 will read that submission on his behalf. 00:37:32.720 --> 00:37:34.296 So we can start the timer. I've got two 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:36.055 minutes starting with the name and 00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:37.815 suburb of Donald Kite being South 00:37:37.839 --> 00:37:40.376 Melbourne. And Donald writes, "I write 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:43.256 in support of agenda item 13.1.3 00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.335 recommendation proposing the renumbering 00:37:45.359 --> 00:37:48.055 of the Hallmark building to 384 St. 00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:51.079 Kilder Road from 2 to 4 Albert Road. 00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.416 I've observed with interest a 00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:55.095 reconfiguration of the Albert Road 00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:57.095 intersection with Siler Road resulting 00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:59.176 from the Metro Tunnel project. The 00:37:59.200 --> 00:38:01.976 reconfiguration has resulted in Sila 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:03.976 Road including the cycle lane being 00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:05.815 extended to the Hallmark building and 00:38:05.839 --> 00:38:07.976 Albert Road ending with a set of traffic 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:11.000 lights adjacent to 16 to 18 Albert Road. 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:13.736 This change has caused significant 00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:16.216 confusion for anyone trying to locate 00:38:16.240 --> 00:38:18.616 number two Albert Road. Common sense 00:38:18.640 --> 00:38:20.136 would lead you to drive up Albert Road 00:38:20.160 --> 00:38:21.656 and expect to find number two at the end 00:38:21.680 --> 00:38:23.335 of the street. That is the building 00:38:23.359 --> 00:38:25.335 nearest to the traffic lights. However, 00:38:25.359 --> 00:38:27.496 number two is now around the corner. 00:38:27.520 --> 00:38:29.656 There are numerous impacts to number 18. 00:38:29.680 --> 00:38:32.216 Delivery drivers, taxis, and the like. 00:38:32.240 --> 00:38:34.055 Having reached the end of Albert Road, 00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:36.616 assume number 18 must be number two. And 00:38:36.640 --> 00:38:38.055 as they've reached the end of the street 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.216 with nowhere to go other than through 00:38:40.240 --> 00:38:41.575 the traffic lights and there being no 00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:42.936 parking, they will either stop on the 00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:45.176 chevron outside number 18 in the 00:38:45.200 --> 00:38:47.736 driveway of number 18 or at worst park 00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:49.656 in the cycle lane, often leaving their 00:38:49.680 --> 00:38:52.216 vehicle unattended. The dangers of doing 00:38:52.240 --> 00:38:53.736 this are obvious. The intersection of 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:55.736 Albert Road, St. Kilder Road and number 00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.896 18 Albert Road is already a dangerous 00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:59.976 configuration for residents trying to 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.536 leave or enter 18 Albert Road without 00:39:02.560 --> 00:39:04.376 the congestion caused by confused and 00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:07.176 lost drivers or emergency vehicles. 00:39:07.200 --> 00:39:08.856 the extremely short traffic cycle in 00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:10.936 Albert Road means that only one to two 00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:12.296 cars can get through the lights if the 00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:13.416 driver at the lights is paying 00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:15.416 attention. Sometimes no cars get 00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:17.016 through. The top of Albert Road is 00:39:17.040 --> 00:39:18.536 already a bottleneck, so drivers that 00:39:18.560 --> 00:39:20.055 are parked trying to find number two 00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:21.416 then have to try and get back to the 00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:23.256 traffic to exit Albert Road at the 00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:25.416 lights. Add to that vehicles trying to 00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.656 get both exit both number 18 and number 00:39:27.680 --> 00:39:29.656 20 Albert Road and result is a cluster 00:39:29.680 --> 00:39:31.736 of angry and frustrated drivers blocking 00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:33.176 up the end of the road with only a few 00:39:33.200 --> 00:39:34.776 seconds of a green light available to 00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.335 clear the mess. Whilst the intersection 00:39:37.359 --> 00:39:39.176 configuration's impacts on number 18 and 00:39:39.200 --> 00:39:41.335 20 Albert Road can only be described as 00:39:41.359 --> 00:39:43.496 chaotic. Redirecting traffic trying to 00:39:43.520 --> 00:39:45.736 find number two Albert Road should help 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:47.656 with the ongoing situation for local 00:39:47.680 --> 00:39:50.136 residents. that was submitted by 00:39:50.160 --> 00:39:52.536 Donald Kite who once again has fallen 00:39:52.560 --> 00:39:55.560 ill and from South Melbourne. 00:39:56.560 --> 00:39:59.560 I'm going to come back to Ray Wells. 00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.599 Ray, are you there? 00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:14.376 I do have Ray's submission. So, what I 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:17.400 might do, Ray with is just read that out 00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:20.440 on your behalf. 00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.599 Ray from South Melbourne, Ray Wells from 00:40:25.040 --> 00:40:28.040 South Melbourne, writes, "My name is Ray 00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.856 Wells, he lives in South Melbourne. 00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:33.736 I have in the I have the inhome medical 00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:35.496 care with a nurse or other medical 00:40:35.520 --> 00:40:37.176 practitioners visiting two to three 00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:39.656 times a week. He frequently uses Uber to 00:40:39.680 --> 00:40:41.575 get to appointments. I often find 00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:43.335 vehicles parked in our driveway without 00:40:43.359 --> 00:40:45.736 a driver looking for the Hallmark, 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:47.575 making deliveries or waiting for a 00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:49.496 passenger as they think the Hallmark is 00:40:49.520 --> 00:40:51.016 on Albert Road and don't know how to get 00:40:51.040 --> 00:40:53.095 it. This causes a significant problem 00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:54.856 for nurses and the like getting into 00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:57.176 Domain Hill to park in our building and 00:40:57.200 --> 00:40:59.176 exit later. This has caused significant 00:40:59.200 --> 00:41:02.055 delays to their important work schedule. 00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:04.055 I have the problem when I get an Uber as 00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:06.936 it needs to stop in my driveway. So I 00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:08.776 can transfer from the wheelchair into 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:10.856 the front seat of the vehicle and the 00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:12.456 driver needs to put the wheelchair in 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:14.536 the boot and access and need similar 00:41:14.560 --> 00:41:17.496 access when I come home in a vehicle. 00:41:17.520 --> 00:41:19.335 Emergency service vehicles such as a 00:41:19.359 --> 00:41:21.016 fire brigade stop in front of Domain 00:41:21.040 --> 00:41:23.256 Hill as they're entitled to do so 00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:24.856 instead of the hallmark from where they 00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:26.456 were called and where they required 00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:27.656 because they get the wrong address in 00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:29.656 Albert Road. And that was a submission 00:41:29.680 --> 00:41:32.680 from Ray Wells, South Melbourne. 00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:36.280 That concludes our submissions to 00:41:36.319 --> 00:41:38.776 agenda items. So, councilors, now it's 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:40.776 your turn. Any questions that you wish 00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:42.696 to raise for items not on tonight's 00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:45.720 agenda? 00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.119 No questions. 00:41:58.160 --> 00:42:00.136 in which case we'll move on with our 00:42:00.160 --> 00:42:02.776 agenda. Petitions, joint leaders and 00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:05.800 deputations of which we have none. 00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:10.599 So that takes us to our presentation of 00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:13.800 reports. given the interest in item 00:42:14.319 --> 00:42:16.616 13.1 given the number of speakers for 00:42:16.640 --> 00:42:18.936 that item, I'm going to suggest that we 00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:21.335 move to this item first in line with 00:42:21.359 --> 00:42:23.416 chapter 2, provision 12 of our 00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:26.055 governance rules. So, what we'll do is 00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:27.815 call a 10-minute break and then we'll 00:42:27.839 --> 00:42:30.839 move on to item 13.1.

Are there any questions for 00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:34.920 council officers for this item? 00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:38.119 Yes, it is.

I'm going to ask 00:43:51.520 --> 00:43:53.815 them all in one hit. 00:43:53.839 --> 00:43:56.055 How will the residents be advised and 00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:59.079 what's the timeline should this change 00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:02.119 go through? 00:44:02.240 --> 00:44:04.616 And your response will be provided by 00:44:04.640 --> 00:44:06.456 James Cullen, our acting GM of 00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:08.776 governance and performance. thank you 00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:10.536 for the question councelor Jay and 00:44:10.560 --> 00:44:12.456 through you may um firstly I want to 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:13.976 recognize that any change should it be 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:15.815 endorsed um may have an impost on 00:44:15.839 --> 00:44:17.896 residents and and we are very mindful of 00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:20.776 that. Um what officers are seeking to do 00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.656 is try and reduce the impost of that um 00:44:23.680 --> 00:44:25.575 that update should it be passed on 00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:27.896 residents where possible. Um we've 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:29.736 developed a suite of supports in that 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.896 space. So things we're looking at doing 00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:34.055 is notifying all the major organizations 00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:36.856 on behalf of residents. So that's people 00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:39.880 like the electoral office, Google maps, 00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:42.920 um so some of the major telos, opost 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:46.280 there's a list of about 15 to 20 um 00:44:46.319 --> 00:44:47.976 major entities that would look to notify 00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.136 on behalf of residents. We then look to 00:44:50.160 --> 00:44:52.295 provide and we've developed a change of 00:44:52.319 --> 00:44:54.536 address pack. So that looks at all the 00:44:54.560 --> 00:44:56.616 relevant checklists and ticks that 00:44:56.640 --> 00:44:58.936 support residents in their individual 00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:00.936 pursuits as well as a suite of template 00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:03.496 letters to contact and notify people 00:45:03.520 --> 00:45:06.055 like legal entities internet 00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:08.136 companies and other bespoke supports 00:45:08.160 --> 00:45:10.776 that or services that each resident has. 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:13.736 Um and then more broadly would be 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:15.896 looking at providing access to our road 00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:18.136 naming officer who'd be there to 00:45:18.160 --> 00:45:20.376 provide ongoing advice. So just to 00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:21.976 clarify it wouldn't be administrative 00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.335 support. They wouldn't be filling out 00:45:23.359 --> 00:45:24.856 the letters, but they would be providing 00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:26.776 some advice to impacted residents to 00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:29.176 navigate the transition. in terms of 00:45:29.200 --> 00:45:31.016 how we'd reach out to residents, we'd be 00:45:31.040 --> 00:45:31.976 working through the building's 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:35.000 management to circulate that formal 00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.095 um formal pack and those supports to all 00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:39.016 residents and notify them of the uplift 00:45:39.040 --> 00:45:41.736 and the change. we'd also be open to 00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:43.496 facilitating an information session with 00:45:43.520 --> 00:45:45.176 the body corporate if that was able to 00:45:45.200 --> 00:45:47.736 be organized. in terms of how long it 00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:50.696 takes um really be subject to the 00:45:50.720 --> 00:45:53.720 provisions of the the motion tonight um 00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:56.456 we'd not we'll be developing a a roll 00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:58.376 out timeline subject to the outcome of 00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:00.136 tonight's decision which will be 00:46:00.160 --> 00:46:02.536 communicated to residents. Um what I 00:46:02.560 --> 00:46:04.936 would note is um for a minimum of six 00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.575 months we've organized with opost 00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:10.599 that both the new address and the old 00:46:10.640 --> 00:46:12.856 address would be in effect and then 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:14.856 they look to transition after 6 months 00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:16.616 to implementation of the new address. So 00:46:16.640 --> 00:46:18.936 we think 6 months would be the kind for 00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:20.856 residents the transition period in terms 00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:23.496 of how council agitate to enact and 00:46:23.520 --> 00:46:25.095 support residents would be looking to do 00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:26.936 that as soon as possible. 00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:28.856 James, just to clarify, are you saying 00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:31.016 that council has the ability to change 00:46:31.040 --> 00:46:33.095 the address on their behalf with some 00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:34.536 providers? 00:46:34.560 --> 00:46:37.560 We'd be um notifying Yes. and 00:46:37.680 --> 00:46:39.656 particularly for council services, but 00:46:39.680 --> 00:46:41.496 um for some of those other providers 00:46:41.520 --> 00:46:43.176 would be seeking to act on behalf of 00:46:43.200 --> 00:46:44.376 impacted residents. 00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:46.936 So that would that would help um if this 00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:49.256 goes through the the administrative 00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:50.136 work. 00:46:50.160 --> 00:46:51.815 That's right. So we're looking at where 00:46:51.839 --> 00:46:54.136 possible to reduce as much of the the 00:46:54.160 --> 00:46:56.136 administrative impost on residents as we 00:46:56.160 --> 00:46:57.095 can. 00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:00.119 And do we have any idea of um the 00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.280 costs of changing um titles or things 00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:06.856 like that? 00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:09.880 it's a a bit of a case by case 00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:12.136 nature. So for some people there'll be 00:47:12.160 --> 00:47:14.696 very very minimal costs in in associated 00:47:14.720 --> 00:47:16.536 with the change. farthers. Depending on 00:47:16.560 --> 00:47:19.016 the nature of the changes, it might be 00:47:19.040 --> 00:47:20.616 um a little bit more in terms of the 00:47:20.640 --> 00:47:22.216 exact amounts. I'd need to take that on 00:47:22.240 --> 00:47:24.216 notice and come back with with some 00:47:24.240 --> 00:47:26.536 amounts for you, but um we don't see it 00:47:26.560 --> 00:47:29.560 as a significant cost. 00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:33.335 Any further questions, councelor Jay? 00:47:33.359 --> 00:47:36.055 Otherwise, councelor Halliday. 00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:39.079 thank you, Mayor. Do we often change 00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:42.440 the street name or number of a residence 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.960 or a tenency or a parcel of land? 00:47:47.040 --> 00:47:49.335 thank you for that question um 00:47:49.359 --> 00:47:50.856 councelor Halliday through you may we 00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.656 do so we change by virtue of a range 00:47:53.680 --> 00:47:55.736 of different um for a range of different 00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:58.295 reasons but um generally what we have is 00:47:58.319 --> 00:48:00.936 a lot of um address anomalies within our 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:02.616 municipality that cause confusion not 00:48:02.640 --> 00:48:04.616 just for residents but for people like 00:48:04.640 --> 00:48:06.776 delivery drivers, emergency services and 00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:09.800 other and other services. Um and we seek 00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:11.575 to remediate some of those legacy 00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:14.599 challenges as we as we move forward. 00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:17.496 Yes, councelor Halliday. Continue. 00:48:17.520 --> 00:48:20.456 Um, we heard also about the comparison 00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:22.535 of number one Albert Road, which is the 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:24.616 old police building, I guess, on the 00:48:24.640 --> 00:48:27.095 corner of um, Sila Road and Albert Road. 00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:29.176 I'm just wondering if that building is 00:48:29.200 --> 00:48:31.815 in a similar or a different position. 00:48:31.839 --> 00:48:33.976 Um, you know, have we reviewed that 00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:36.136 building for its appropriateness of its 00:48:36.160 --> 00:48:38.616 address there where it um, whether it 00:48:38.640 --> 00:48:40.376 should be on Albert or on St. Kilder 00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:41.575 Road? 00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:44.376 Um, thank you, Council Holiday. through 00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:46.216 you, Mayor. Um, I'd need to take that 00:48:46.240 --> 00:48:48.376 question on notice. What I can say is we 00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:51.016 are guided by um relevant legislative 00:48:51.040 --> 00:48:53.496 provisions under the road naming 00:48:53.520 --> 00:48:55.095 rules in Victoria, which have 00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:57.496 recommendations around how corner blocks 00:48:57.520 --> 00:48:59.976 are named. And in in short, it's 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:01.496 essentially where the predominant point 00:49:01.520 --> 00:49:03.575 of access is for that building, which 00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:05.815 then specifies which street it's then 00:49:05.839 --> 00:49:07.896 allocated. So for corner buildings, 00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:09.656 really the point of determination is 00:49:09.680 --> 00:49:12.376 that point of access. In this case, what 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:13.896 we're seeing is the point of access has 00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:16.920 changed. 00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:20.119 So, just to to clarify here that if the 00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:23.335 if the um access point is off Elbert 00:49:23.359 --> 00:49:25.496 Road, you're on Albert Road. If your 00:49:25.520 --> 00:49:27.416 access point is off Sinclair Road, 00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:28.616 you're on Sin Kilder Road. 00:49:28.640 --> 00:49:30.856 That's correct. Um and what we do have 00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:32.856 and in consultation with emergency 00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:34.936 services is it's really important to 00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:36.856 them that we have geog geographically 00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.176 correct um locations in that space 00:49:39.200 --> 00:49:40.616 because they don't rely on local 00:49:40.640 --> 00:49:43.575 knowledge. They rely on the um the geo 00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:44.776 information provided through the 00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.575 address. 00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:50.599 Councelor Jay, further questions. 00:49:50.720 --> 00:49:53.720 Um, James, I've had residents from the 00:49:54.240 --> 00:49:56.216 Hallmark tell me that they haven't had a 00:49:56.240 --> 00:49:57.896 problem getting ambulance there in the 00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.920 past for their partners or or themselves 00:50:01.040 --> 00:50:04.040 or neighbors. Um, yet in the report it's 00:50:04.319 --> 00:50:07.256 very clear that the emergency services 00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:10.280 um wants this. So, can you speak to 00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:16.216 how the emergency services 00:50:16.240 --> 00:50:18.376 um make these decisions? Maybe you 00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:20.616 can't. 00:50:20.640 --> 00:50:23.095 what I can confirm councelor J and 00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:25.416 through you may um is that we have 00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:27.176 engaged emergency services throughout 00:50:27.200 --> 00:50:28.936 the duration of this process and it's 00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:30.456 been their recommendation for this 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:33.416 change. Um whilst the report recognizes 00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:34.936 that there hasn't been an incident 00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.960 today. Um my office's view um is to 00:50:39.359 --> 00:50:40.776 potentially not wait for that incident 00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:43.800 to trigger this change. 00:50:45.680 --> 00:50:48.680 Councelor Buckingham, 00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.055 throughout the consultation process, 00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:54.696 were the neighboring buildings consulted 00:50:54.720 --> 00:50:56.535 at all and have we considered the impact 00:50:56.559 --> 00:50:58.535 of the renumbering 00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:01.016 on the neighboring 00:51:01.040 --> 00:51:03.095 buildings? 00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:05.416 through you, Mayor. I might ask my 00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:07.896 colleague Julie Snowden if she's 00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:10.920 available. 00:51:13.359 --> 00:51:15.335 No. 00:51:15.359 --> 00:51:17.176 So, just for those online, the answer is 00:51:17.200 --> 00:51:19.896 no. The um neighboring um residents 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:21.335 weren't weren't engaged. My 00:51:21.359 --> 00:51:23.095 understanding is typically we would 00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:25.016 primarily engage the residents directly 00:51:25.040 --> 00:51:27.176 impacted as opposed to those um either 00:51:27.200 --> 00:51:30.200 side. 00:51:30.319 --> 00:51:33.319 Any further questions? Councelor Thomann. 00:51:33.839 --> 00:51:36.136 I would It's not a question, but we 00:51:36.160 --> 00:51:39.160 just received an email from a resident 00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:41.815 on the hallmark. She's in Japan. So I 00:51:41.839 --> 00:51:44.456 think it's she's following it online. 00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:45.815 It needs to be a question. Councelor 00:51:45.839 --> 00:51:47.815 Toan, could you frame part of that 00:51:47.839 --> 00:51:48.936 submission as a question? 00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:50.936 So yes, her concern is whether support 00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:52.535 will be provided for updating her 00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:54.216 address datas across Medicare, bank, 00:51:54.240 --> 00:51:56.456 superation funds and other relevant 00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.480 information as she so is such 00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:01.416 assistance going to be providing 00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:04.440 provided to her as she is not able to do 00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:07.559 it on her own. 00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:09.976 And this is from Meg. 00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:11.575 Councelor Thomann. The question will be 00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:12.856 answered by James G. 00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:13.976 Me s 00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:15.416 thanks for the question councelor and 00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:17.736 through um as noted previously where 00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:19.815 possible and where we can we'll update 00:52:19.839 --> 00:52:21.656 the relevant services in a holistic 00:52:21.680 --> 00:52:23.976 manner for all residents. So that's 00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:25.896 really those centralized services like 00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:27.736 the Google maps the Australian electoral 00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.216 commission Australia post fire rescue 00:52:30.240 --> 00:52:32.456 triple0 those type of services.

In terms of offering bespoke 00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:27.176 supports for residents, we really need 00:53:27.200 --> 00:53:29.016 to be mindful around setting a precedent 00:53:29.040 --> 00:53:31.256 around the expectation 00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.055 expectations of officers in this space 00:53:34.079 --> 00:53:36.376 around the relevant um support they 00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:37.736 provide residents and particularly 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:39.815 around privacy considerations and 00:53:39.839 --> 00:53:41.256 provisions when you're starting to make 00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:44.280 applications on behalf of residents. 00:53:45.520 --> 00:53:47.976 Any further questions? councelor Timman 00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:49.896 my question was not for you know was 00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:52.376 just to help them maybe feel you know go 00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:53.736 on the computer and help things so 00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:55.016 are you going to frame it as a question 00:53:55.040 --> 00:53:56.456 I'm just saying is that something that 00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:58.295 can be done I'm not saying that we 00:53:58.319 --> 00:53:59.976 should do it on their behalf but can we 00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:03.000 help them do the report the the request 00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:05.575 the answer is the same isn't it 00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:08.376 yeah through you may I think I think the 00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:10.295 answer remains relatively consistent we 00:54:10.319 --> 00:54:12.216 can we can definitely attend and work 00:54:12.240 --> 00:54:13.815 with the body corporate to provide some 00:54:13.839 --> 00:54:15.815 supports for residents in terms of the 00:54:15.839 --> 00:54:17.575 individual bespoke spoke support.

And now as 00:56:31.839 --> 00:56:33.496 mover councelor Jay, you can speak to 00:56:33.520 --> 00:56:36.520 the motion. you have 3 minutes. 00:56:36.720 --> 00:56:38.535 Um, this has been a really difficult 00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:41.256 motion for me because um, I really 00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:43.896 understand this area deeply. I 00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:46.136 understand the problems on Albert and 00:56:46.160 --> 00:56:48.295 with the um, the Ubers and the 00:56:48.319 --> 00:56:50.856 ambulances and the traffic. 00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:52.775 Unfortunately, I don't believe that an 00:56:52.799 --> 00:56:54.456 address change is going to fix that 00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:56.775 problem, which is why we've tried to put 00:56:56.799 --> 00:56:58.696 some more things in here to fix that 00:56:58.720 --> 00:57:00.696 problem. The truth is there's nowhere to 00:57:00.720 --> 00:57:03.720 stop on Stilder Road anymore. So, um, 00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:05.976 they're going to stop at the nearest 00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:08.136 safest, which unfortunately is in your 00:57:08.160 --> 00:57:10.456 driveway. We're hoping that we can 00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:12.216 change some of the geo markings and 00:57:12.240 --> 00:57:14.055 force some of these Uber drivers to go 00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:15.896 somewhere safer so they're not blocking 00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:18.535 off your driveway. So, that's where 00:57:18.559 --> 00:57:21.095 that's come from. Um, I have been 00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:24.119 speaking to a lot of visitors um, at the 00:57:24.160 --> 00:57:26.295 Hallmark, your painters, your tradies, 00:57:26.319 --> 00:57:28.136 and just trying to understand if they 00:57:28.160 --> 00:57:30.136 had trouble un trouble finding the 00:57:30.160 --> 00:57:32.376 place. Most of them didn't. What they 00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:34.136 had trouble with was that traffic light 00:57:34.160 --> 00:57:35.896 on Albert Road and the very short 00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:38.920 driveway and the very strange arrow that 00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:40.616 leads you straight into a private 00:57:40.640 --> 00:57:42.535 driveway as well as having the blue 00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:44.535 stone paving which makes it all look the 00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:47.559 same. It's a little bit of a S show up 00:57:48.319 --> 00:57:51.319 there at times. Um, if I was confident 00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:53.736 that this address change would solve all 00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:55.815 your problems, I'd be screaming and 00:57:55.839 --> 00:57:57.896 shouting and really happy. But I'm not 00:57:57.920 --> 00:57:59.815 confident that it's going to solve the 00:57:59.839 --> 00:58:01.815 problems on Albert. So, we will keep 00:58:01.839 --> 00:58:04.295 trying to solve the Albert Road problems 00:58:04.319 --> 00:58:07.319 and and the issues there. Um, I don't 00:58:09.040 --> 00:58:12.040 feel comfortable um um really changing 00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:14.535 the address on a lot of elderly 00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:15.815 residents that have been there for 00:58:15.839 --> 00:58:18.535 decades. I know that I've had a lot of 00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:21.016 um older people call me and say that 00:58:21.040 --> 00:58:22.456 they've never had a problem with their 00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:24.055 husband or with their wife or in the 00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:26.616 ambulance. However, we sit in chambers 00:58:26.640 --> 00:58:29.016 here and we've debated this a long time. 00:58:29.040 --> 00:58:31.496 Um, I've deferred it numerous times and 00:58:31.520 --> 00:58:32.936 um, the councilors have been generous 00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:35.256 with letting me do that because I was 00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:36.936 really hoping that there was another way 00:58:36.960 --> 00:58:39.016 that would make everyone happy. 00:58:39.040 --> 00:58:41.256 Unfortunately, there is a sentiment in 00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:43.416 council and with the counselors that 00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:45.176 they don't want a death on their hands 00:58:45.200 --> 00:58:47.656 with the wrong address and they don't 00:58:47.680 --> 00:58:50.680 want to um, many of them don't even want 00:58:50.720 --> 00:58:53.720 to play with that. So, um, I have made 00:58:55.839 --> 00:58:58.456 these amendments hoping that this will 00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:00.456 make things stronger and we can get some 00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:02.295 of those arrows moved and we can get 00:59:02.319 --> 00:59:05.319 some signs put in. Um, and thank you 00:59:05.839 --> 00:59:08.839 councilors for supporting me in this 00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:11.815 tonight. 00:59:11.839 --> 00:59:14.376 Thank you, councelor Jay. And as the 00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:16.295 mover has spoken, so it's the second to 00:59:16.319 --> 00:59:18.376 wish to speak. Councelor Tamman. 00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:20.616 Well, obviously changing an address is 00:59:20.640 --> 00:59:23.640 always complicated. Um but if it makes 00:59:24.160 --> 00:59:27.160 sense and hopefully the area safer, I 00:59:27.839 --> 00:59:30.456 think we should go with it. And I hope 00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:33.256 that as we discussed that council 00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:35.416 will provide the support to residents 00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:38.440 who are struggling getting um online or 00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:40.136 on the internet and all those kind of 00:59:40.160 --> 00:59:43.095 things. So hopefully the honors cor um 00:59:43.119 --> 00:59:46.119 or with the help of council will help 00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:49.095 the residents who might struggle getting 00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.119 an update on on all the things they've 00:59:52.240 --> 00:59:55.095 got. Um I suppose we can only apologize 00:59:55.119 --> 00:59:57.575 for the inconvenience but there's not 00:59:57.599 --> 00:59:59.976 much choice. I think we have to do it 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.696 and councelor Jay expressed well the 01:00:02.720 --> 01:00:05.656 issues around there. Hopefully what we 01:00:05.680 --> 01:00:08.680 have added will help ease the problems 01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:12.119 that you're facing. 01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:14.456 Thank you councelor Timman. The second 01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:16.055 has spoken. Does any other councelor 01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:18.856 wish to speak? Councelor Consol. 01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:20.535 Thank you. I am really sorry in advance 01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:22.055 for all the effort that people will have 01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:23.736 to go to to address this. But given that 01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:26.535 it was raised in 2024, it's probably 01:00:26.559 --> 01:00:27.896 been a bit of a limbo that people have 01:00:27.920 --> 01:00:29.335 been experiencing. Will it happen? 01:00:29.359 --> 01:00:31.815 Because clearly the driveway has changed 01:00:31.839 --> 01:00:34.696 um access points. So again, very sorry 01:00:34.720 --> 01:00:37.656 about the challenge that's ahead of you, 01:00:37.680 --> 01:00:40.680 but it gives you some um clarity about 01:00:41.599 --> 01:00:43.575 moving forward that the address has 01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:45.896 changed location. And I'd like to 01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:47.896 thank councelor Jay for bringing the 01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:49.095 amendments. I think they're really good 01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:52.119 and strengthens this. Thank you. 01:00:53.520 --> 01:00:55.256 Thank you, councelor Consello. Any other 01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:58.280 councilors wish to speak to the item? 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:02.535 No other counselors have indicated a 01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:04.216 desire to speak. So it comes back to the 01:01:04.240 --> 01:01:06.856 mover who wish may wish to close. 01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:08.616 I will close. Um 01:01:08.640 --> 01:01:09.496 two minutes. 01:01:09.520 --> 01:01:11.736 I'm not going to support this tonight. 01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:14.760 Um it will go ahead but but I just 01:01:15.839 --> 01:01:17.575 can't. It doesn't feel right. I didn't 01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:19.896 wake up this morning feeling great about 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:22.616 it. And we have had some um emails and 01:01:22.640 --> 01:01:24.456 not even from residents. Some of our 01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:26.616 residents are beyond technology. So 01:01:26.640 --> 01:01:28.216 they're getting the concier and other 01:01:28.240 --> 01:01:30.856 people to message on their behalf. So 01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:32.376 which concerns me about how they're 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:35.335 going to navigate this. Um I do 01:01:35.359 --> 01:01:37.656 understand why it is being changed and 01:01:37.680 --> 01:01:39.896 why it needs to be changed. There's 01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:42.055 rules there. There's rules and this is 01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:43.896 one of those things that has fallen 01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:46.920 within those rules. Um we cannot we 01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:49.256 cannot offer you know help to the 01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:51.736 residents that that can't do it. But I 01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:54.136 will personally, Liz, email you and I'm 01:01:54.160 --> 01:01:56.295 happy to organize a day where I'll 01:01:56.319 --> 01:01:58.055 multiple days where I'm happy to sit 01:01:58.079 --> 01:01:59.335 there and help some of the residents 01:01:59.359 --> 01:02:01.176 that are older navigate all this if they 01:02:01.200 --> 01:02:03.575 want the help. And um I think that's the 01:02:03.599 --> 01:02:06.456 best that I can do today. So thank you, 01:02:06.480 --> 01:02:08.295 but I won't be supporting this for those 01:02:08.319 --> 01:02:11.319 reasons. 01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:13.575 the mover has closed in which case 01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:16.216 we'll put the motion to a vote. All 01:02:16.240 --> 01:02:19.240 those in favor 01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:23.016 that is carried.

In which 01:02:34.640 --> 01:02:37.575 case, all those against 01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:39.896 that is against councelor Jay, councelor 01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:42.920 Hardy, and deputy Mayor M. 01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:46.775 Yep. we need to physically see your 01:02:46.799 --> 01:02:49.656 hand too, deputy Mayor. 01:02:49.680 --> 01:02:51.496 There it is.

I'm going to 01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:37.656 move this from the floor. Move May.

So I do want to commend the 01:04:50.720 --> 01:04:53.015 officers for your work on this 01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:55.496 submission and also for the work that 01:04:55.520 --> 01:04:58.055 has been on on an ongoing basis with our 01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:00.216 neighboring councils, city of Glenire in 01:05:00.240 --> 01:05:02.696 particular, but also more broadly in 01:05:02.720 --> 01:05:05.095 fostering social inclusion and the work 01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:07.976 that we we undertake. 01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:10.616 This is not an easy topic. It is not an 01:05:10.640 --> 01:05:12.775 easy topic for people that live through 01:05:12.799 --> 01:05:15.256 this. is not an easy topic for much of 01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:18.136 our wider community as well in feeling 01:05:18.160 --> 01:05:21.160 the reverberation of of the impact of 01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:24.760 Bondi of other attacks as well. 01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:27.496 And you know, I remember 01:05:27.520 --> 01:05:30.520 Saturday evening a few about a month ago 01:05:31.119 --> 01:05:34.055 where there was a targeted attack on the 01:05:34.079 --> 01:05:36.616 Adas community and the following day the 01:05:36.640 --> 01:05:39.256 Adas community came out and really 01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:41.976 highlighted the Torah procession and a 01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:44.136 celebration of that community. Our 01:05:44.160 --> 01:05:46.295 community has been through so much 01:05:46.319 --> 01:05:49.176 through anti-semitism, through a 01:05:49.200 --> 01:05:51.335 breakdown in social cohesion. This is 01:05:51.359 --> 01:05:53.736 our response to the submission. It is 01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:56.760 our response to say 01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:59.015 government needs to do better across the 01:05:59.039 --> 01:06:01.256 board. It is our submission to say we 01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:04.280 also have a role to play in reaching 01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:07.880 engaging local communities as well. And 01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:11.416 once again I really come back to my 01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:13.015 grandfather's sort of closing comments 01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:15.496 in his show of testimony where he just 01:06:15.520 --> 01:06:17.656 simply said we all need to be more 01:06:17.680 --> 01:06:20.136 human. And this is ultimately what we're 01:06:20.160 --> 01:06:22.376 asking for through this submission. How 01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:24.856 do we be more human? How do we treat 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:27.015 each other with the respect and dignity 01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:29.575 that they deserve? I commend this 01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:31.815 submission and the collaboration that's 01:06:31.839 --> 01:06:34.136 also been undertaken as part of it as 01:06:34.160 --> 01:06:37.160 well in working once again particularly 01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:40.136 with the city Glenara in consistency and 01:06:40.160 --> 01:06:43.015 cohesiveness of our responses so that we 01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:45.015 can show that local government can play 01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:47.896 its part in fostering inclusion. I 01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:50.920 commend this motion and 01:06:51.039 --> 01:06:52.936 move to the second who may wish to 01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:55.095 speak. 01:06:55.119 --> 01:06:58.119 Thank you, Mayor Min. and thank you 01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:00.376 to the officers that have put in a huge 01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:01.896 amount of work in preparing this 01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:04.616 submission um and capturing the 01:07:04.640 --> 01:07:06.456 experiences of the Jewish community in 01:07:06.480 --> 01:07:08.055 the city of Port Phillip over the last 01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:11.079 couple of years. The submission does go 01:07:11.200 --> 01:07:13.496 to the lived experience of the increase 01:07:13.520 --> 01:07:16.520 in anti-semitism that has occurred in 01:07:16.559 --> 01:07:19.256 our area. Um, one thing that I like 01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:21.416 about the submission is it also um 01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:23.496 illustrates the diversity of our Jewish 01:07:23.520 --> 01:07:26.520 community and the vibrancy um of the 01:07:26.640 --> 01:07:29.640 community here in Port Phillip. Um we 01:07:30.240 --> 01:07:33.240 all are aware of certain incidents that 01:07:34.319 --> 01:07:36.616 do make the news such as the fire 01:07:36.640 --> 01:07:39.496 bombing of the Adas Israel synagogue 01:07:39.520 --> 01:07:42.520 in Ripen Lee. Um but one of the things 01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:44.616 that has come through the the submission 01:07:44.640 --> 01:07:46.456 is that there are daily acts of 01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:48.295 anti-semitism that don't make the news 01:07:48.319 --> 01:07:50.456 but have a deep and lasting impact on 01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:52.856 the lives of the Jewish community 01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:55.880 here in Port Phillip. and it outlines 01:07:56.240 --> 01:07:58.295 the role of local government in 01:07:58.319 --> 01:08:01.256 combating anti-semitism. I believe 01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:03.015 all levels of government have a role to 01:08:03.039 --> 01:08:06.039 play and it both um in response to when 01:08:07.520 --> 01:08:09.736 there is anti-semitism and I I do want 01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:11.575 to talk to a particular example because 01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:14.599 I think it it shows the power of local 01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:17.976 government. After the Aduz Israel Shul 01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:20.376 was firebombed, Port Philip appointed a 01:08:20.400 --> 01:08:23.400 culturally um trained officer to be a 01:08:25.679 --> 01:08:27.096 single point of contact for the 01:08:27.120 --> 01:08:29.096 community. And that person went and 01:08:29.120 --> 01:08:31.016 literally had cups of tea with some of 01:08:31.040 --> 01:08:33.175 the women in that community and sat down 01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:35.735 and spent the time to really understand 01:08:35.759 --> 01:08:37.496 the community's needs at a very 01:08:37.520 --> 01:08:39.576 difficult time and overcome some really 01:08:39.600 --> 01:08:42.600 practical hurdles. Um, for example, they 01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:46.056 needed temporary places to to worship 01:08:46.080 --> 01:08:48.376 and live and um celebrate their 01:08:48.400 --> 01:08:51.400 religion. And the council officer um 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:54.775 helped in rapid time to create 01:08:54.799 --> 01:08:56.295 disability access to one of the 01:08:56.319 --> 01:08:59.175 temporary shs. It might seem like a 01:08:59.199 --> 01:09:00.936 small detail, but it was the difference 01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:03.655 between people being able to go to Shaw 01:09:03.679 --> 01:09:06.679 or not be able to go to Shaw. Um, and I 01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:08.536 think that's the kind of role that only 01:09:08.560 --> 01:09:10.295 local government can really play in 01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:13.175 response to after these incidents occur. 01:09:13.199 --> 01:09:15.815 But it also goes to prevention and the 01:09:15.839 --> 01:09:18.839 role that we have in building connection 01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:21.960 um building understanding across faiths. 01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:25.239 combating conflict um different 01:09:25.359 --> 01:09:28.056 interpretations of words 01:09:28.080 --> 01:09:29.896 um that we have may have heard here 01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:32.920 tonight. Um and keeping the lines of 01:09:33.839 --> 01:09:36.839 communication open and live and keeping 01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:38.616 us connected with our neighbors and with 01:09:38.640 --> 01:09:41.640 each other across conflict. um which I 01:09:42.080 --> 01:09:43.896 believe is ultimately the prevention. 01:09:43.920 --> 01:09:45.496 That's where we actually get prevention 01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:48.520 of hatred and violence. So I am very 01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:52.199 pleased to second this um this report 01:09:53.120 --> 01:09:54.456 today and I'm very proud of Port 01:09:54.480 --> 01:09:56.056 Phillips submission to the Royal 01:09:56.080 --> 01:09:57.175 Commission. 01:09:57.199 --> 01:09:58.695 Thank you Councelor Buckingham. Well 01:09:58.719 --> 01:10:01.719 said. Any other speakers to this item? 01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:05.896 Councelor Crawford. Thank you. I'm just 01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:07.256 going to ask under our rules. Would you 01:10:07.280 --> 01:10:08.936 allow me an extra 30 seconds if I don't 01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:11.016 quite get to the end of my three minutes 01:10:11.040 --> 01:10:13.096 because I I've written something if it's 01:10:13.120 --> 01:10:13.976 all right. 01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:16.695 Um, so we live in an area shaped by many 01:10:16.719 --> 01:10:18.456 different groups, but none so much as 01:10:18.480 --> 01:10:20.856 the Jewish community, and I am so proud 01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:23.016 to represent such an area. We have 01:10:23.040 --> 01:10:25.576 benefited greatly. What is incredibly 01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:27.256 distressing is to have to have borne 01:10:27.280 --> 01:10:30.280 witness to the rise in anti-semitism 01:10:30.480 --> 01:10:32.376 over the last few years, the suffering 01:10:32.400 --> 01:10:34.776 of our local Jewish community and the 01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:36.536 terrorist attack by an Islamic 01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:38.056 revolutionary guard on a local 01:10:38.080 --> 01:10:41.080 synagogue. It is so important for this 01:10:41.120 --> 01:10:43.576 council to make a submission to 01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:46.600 document what we have witnessed and what 01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:48.936 how we as a council have responded and 01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:51.175 how we will continue to respond and look 01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:53.655 for more opportunities to stamp out 01:10:53.679 --> 01:10:55.655 anti-semitism. 01:10:55.679 --> 01:10:57.896 I want our Jewish members of this 01:10:57.920 --> 01:11:00.056 community to feel safe and I want all of 01:11:00.080 --> 01:11:02.456 our community to feel safe. And in order 01:11:02.480 --> 01:11:04.616 to do that, we must call it out. We must 01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:06.296 condemn it and we must look for ways to 01:11:06.320 --> 01:11:08.695 stop it and ways to stand next to our 01:11:08.719 --> 01:11:11.719 Jewish um neighbors. We as a council 01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:13.256 don't have all the answers, but we 01:11:13.280 --> 01:11:15.416 continue to work towards stamping it out 01:11:15.440 --> 01:11:17.976 and looking to do more. A few things 01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:20.296 have struck me over the last few years. 01:11:20.320 --> 01:11:22.856 It is how some people dismiss the 01:11:22.880 --> 01:11:24.856 Jewishes pe Jewish people's experience 01:11:24.880 --> 01:11:27.336 of racism in a way we would not of other 01:11:27.360 --> 01:11:29.336 groups. We dismiss some of their 01:11:29.360 --> 01:11:31.896 experiences. We try to um make them 01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:34.376 smaller. We dismiss that terms and names 01:11:34.400 --> 01:11:37.400 they find offensive are not um in ways 01:11:37.440 --> 01:11:39.576 that we would not for other groups. We 01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:41.496 would tread more carefully with our 01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:42.936 words, with our rhetoric and our 01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:44.616 actions. 01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:47.175 I also note how important it is to not 01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:49.496 hold Australians of any heritage 01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:51.256 collectively responsible for the actions 01:11:51.280 --> 01:11:53.896 of another government and how we must be 01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:56.920 careful as a society not to do so. And 01:11:57.040 --> 01:11:59.576 we need to invest in accurate, nuanced 01:11:59.600 --> 01:12:02.456 discussion, not hate. 01:12:02.480 --> 01:12:04.296 When I attended the conference that was 01:12:04.320 --> 01:12:05.816 held for local government around 01:12:05.840 --> 01:12:08.376 anti-semitism and what we could do, the 01:12:08.400 --> 01:12:10.456 constant theme that although we were 01:12:10.480 --> 01:12:13.096 there discussing anti-semitism in this 01:12:13.120 --> 01:12:15.256 particular instance, it was the canary 01:12:15.280 --> 01:12:18.280 in the coal mine for social cohesion for 01:12:18.320 --> 01:12:20.296 u mutual respect and our humanity for 01:12:20.320 --> 01:12:22.776 each other. So the more we can ensure 01:12:22.800 --> 01:12:24.695 our Jewish community are safe and 01:12:24.719 --> 01:12:26.776 respected and cared for, the more that 01:12:26.800 --> 01:12:28.456 we can ensure that we are living in the 01:12:28.480 --> 01:12:31.175 type of society we want to. One of 01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:32.856 respect, one of compassion, one of 01:12:32.880 --> 01:12:35.336 empathy, and one of safety. 01:12:35.360 --> 01:12:37.576 I wish we were not having to make such a 01:12:37.600 --> 01:12:39.976 submission on this topic. It makes me 01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:42.695 incredibly sad, angry, and desparing all 01:12:42.719 --> 01:12:45.256 at once. But I am of the firm belief 01:12:45.280 --> 01:12:47.496 that in local government we must take 01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:49.175 this moment to support the Jewish 01:12:49.199 --> 01:12:51.096 members of the city of Port Phillip and 01:12:51.120 --> 01:12:53.576 across Australia. And I hope councilors 01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:55.496 you will support the motion. 01:12:55.520 --> 01:12:57.336 Thank you councelor Crawford. You had 10 01:12:57.360 --> 01:12:58.376 seconds spare. 01:12:58.400 --> 01:13:00.376 Oh good. 01:13:00.400 --> 01:13:02.296 And just to acknowledge your leadership 01:13:02.320 --> 01:13:04.135 during your tenure of Mayor as around 01:13:04.159 --> 01:13:07.159 the US Israel synagogue too. 01:13:07.920 --> 01:13:10.920 Any other speakers to this item? 01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:15.640 Councelor Jay, three 01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:18.776 three 01:13:18.800 --> 01:13:21.800 hard to top any of those 01:13:22.480 --> 01:13:24.856 talks. Um, 01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:27.880 righteous amongst the nations. That's 01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:31.159 the title that was awarded to non-Jews 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:33.655 that helped the Jews through the 01:13:33.679 --> 01:13:35.256 Holocaust. 01:13:35.280 --> 01:13:38.280 Righteous amongst among the nations. 01:13:38.719 --> 01:13:41.175 very proud to be sitting in a room and 01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:44.199 in a community with a lot of people that 01:13:45.040 --> 01:13:47.736 are righteous amongst the nations and um 01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:49.816 really 01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:52.616 stick up and support their community 01:13:52.640 --> 01:13:54.536 when they don't have voice or where 01:13:54.560 --> 01:13:57.416 they're too terrorized to use it. We 01:13:57.440 --> 01:13:59.816 have a very large Jewish contingency in 01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:02.840 Port Phillip and Glenn Ira the 01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:05.096 biggest one of the biggest in the world. 01:14:05.120 --> 01:14:07.416 before I was a counselor, I was a rag 01:14:07.440 --> 01:14:09.655 trader in the fashion industry. The rag 01:14:09.679 --> 01:14:12.376 trade is called the schmata trade. It is 01:14:12.400 --> 01:14:14.215 our Jewish community that brought the 01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:16.135 fashion industry to Australia many, 01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:18.856 many, many decades ago. So they have had 01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:21.880 an unbelievable impact on culture, on 01:14:22.080 --> 01:14:24.616 fashion, and on our community. So I am 01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.640 proud to um support our community um 01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:29.816 with this submission.

Now, there are some programs 01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:27.256 that you have available next year that 01:18:27.280 --> 01:18:29.336 you may wish to prioritize, but we'll 01:18:29.360 --> 01:18:30.856 come through with options as part of the 01:18:30.880 --> 01:18:33.880 budget process um on potential ways to 01:18:34.080 --> 01:18:36.536 fund this request. 01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:39.096 And and just to clarify that that would 01:18:39.120 --> 01:18:40.856 be resolved obviously the budget we're 01:18:40.880 --> 01:18:42.856 going to adopt that um later this month, 01:18:42.880 --> 01:18:44.936 right?

I'm very keen to speak about PCYC 01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:51.816 and I'd like to start by thanking all 01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:54.215 the members of the community that have 01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:57.239 emailed me and other counselors um in 01:23:57.840 --> 01:23:59.976 recent times about the importance of the 01:24:00.000 --> 01:24:03.000 PCYC. We've heard um from young, old, 01:24:05.360 --> 01:24:08.360 wealthy, less wealthy locals, people 01:24:09.040 --> 01:24:11.256 from close by, people from further a 01:24:11.280 --> 01:24:14.280 field um about the impact that PCYC has 01:24:15.120 --> 01:24:17.496 had on their on their lives. And what 01:24:17.520 --> 01:24:19.096 has struck me about all the different 01:24:19.120 --> 01:24:20.776 accounts that I've heard is that it 01:24:20.800 --> 01:24:23.655 really is a melting pot where people 01:24:23.679 --> 01:24:25.655 from all different backgrounds spend 01:24:25.679 --> 01:24:28.679 time together. And 01:24:28.880 --> 01:24:31.880 simply sharing a facility like a gym 01:24:32.080 --> 01:24:34.776 leads to so many community connections. 01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:37.800 It combats loneliness, isolation. for a 01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:40.376 young person that doesn't have a safe 01:24:40.400 --> 01:24:43.400 home or um access to other clubs and and 01:24:44.800 --> 01:24:47.175 recreation spaces, it becomes like a 01:24:47.199 --> 01:24:50.199 second home for them. And the club has 01:24:50.880 --> 01:24:53.816 had um some real challenges in recent 01:24:53.840 --> 01:24:56.135 times, but the community has rallied, 01:24:56.159 --> 01:24:58.856 reconstituted their board, um got a new 01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:01.175 plan for financial sustainability and 01:25:01.199 --> 01:25:04.199 ongoing um operations, and from the 01:25:06.159 --> 01:25:08.135 membership of the gym, their youth 01:25:08.159 --> 01:25:10.376 programs are subsidized and they can 01:25:10.400 --> 01:25:12.456 continue running these incredibly 01:25:12.480 --> 01:25:15.096 valuable um services for our local 01:25:15.120 --> 01:25:17.256 community. And this is an example of 01:25:17.280 --> 01:25:19.096 where 01:25:19.120 --> 01:25:21.096 local council needs to be one of the 01:25:21.120 --> 01:25:22.695 first movers. If we're going to get 01:25:22.719 --> 01:25:25.175 support from philanthropy, um if we're 01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:26.695 going to rebuild that membership, if 01:25:26.719 --> 01:25:28.615 we're going to get support from state 01:25:28.639 --> 01:25:30.615 government, federal government, we've 01:25:30.639 --> 01:25:33.639 actually got a got a lead on this. Um so 01:25:34.320 --> 01:25:36.936 the decision tonight um to allocate 01:25:36.960 --> 01:25:39.336 $22,000 is a gamecher because it means 01:25:39.360 --> 01:25:41.655 that the club can reopen and start 01:25:41.679 --> 01:25:44.679 rebuilding the membership and um the 01:25:44.800 --> 01:25:47.800 $60,000 to subsidize the youth 01:25:48.080 --> 01:25:51.080 programs will put PCYc on a on a 01:25:52.080 --> 01:25:55.080 stronger footing going forward. And as 01:25:55.120 --> 01:25:57.896 per my question earlier, um I'm keen to 01:25:57.920 --> 01:26:00.920 see council support PCYC how we can 01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:04.600 financial advocacy and um partnering 01:26:04.960 --> 01:26:07.016 through things like helping rebuild that 01:26:07.040 --> 01:26:09.336 membership because I think the club will 01:26:09.360 --> 01:26:12.360 serve local residents and our council 01:26:13.199 --> 01:26:15.096 community for many years to come if we 01:26:15.120 --> 01:26:17.336 can get this right. 01:26:17.360 --> 01:26:18.776 Thank you.

I know the PCYC has had 01:29:46.320 --> 01:29:48.536 some periods shut recently and that's 01:29:48.560 --> 01:29:51.560 going to impact the next few months as 01:29:51.679 --> 01:29:53.336 they rebuild. I think it's great that 01:29:53.360 --> 01:29:55.175 we're putting this money on the table to 01:29:55.199 --> 01:29:57.496 help them open up because that gym 01:29:57.520 --> 01:29:59.416 generates the money to help support a 01:29:59.440 --> 01:30:01.256 lot of the programs and these programs 01:30:01.280 --> 01:30:03.175 aren't just run out of this facility. we 01:30:03.199 --> 01:30:04.615 benefit up in Port Melbourne and I'm 01:30:04.639 --> 01:30:06.695 looking forward to that expansion that 01:30:06.719 --> 01:30:09.655 they're partnering with the um Beric 01:30:09.679 --> 01:30:12.679 Beacon Estate and there's a room there 01:30:12.800 --> 01:30:15.336 and opportunity and the funding is 01:30:15.360 --> 01:30:17.816 something that needs to be secured. 01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:20.056 There are so many youth right now that 01:30:20.080 --> 01:30:22.056 need this kind of program. The 01:30:22.080 --> 01:30:23.736 preventative model is the right way 01:30:23.760 --> 01:30:25.976 forward and I think that this is a small 01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:27.496 contribution that we can make this time 01:30:27.520 --> 01:30:30.520 to help um make the best of that.

So, I will absolutely be 01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:57.880 supporting this tonight. Um 01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:01.655 there's nothing much more to say than 01:31:01.679 --> 01:31:04.679 that. Um I really wish the new board 01:31:06.080 --> 01:31:09.080 luck in this. We want this to be a 01:31:09.760 --> 01:31:12.760 legacy for another hundred years. Um and 01:31:13.360 --> 01:31:15.496 as a council, as a counselor group, as a 01:31:15.520 --> 01:31:16.936 community, I think we will all do 01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:19.096 everything that we can to make this a a 01:31:19.120 --> 01:31:22.120 success. Um but you are right council as 01:31:22.159 --> 01:31:24.056 we do need to work with state and 01:31:24.080 --> 01:31:27.080 federal on this just to um provide true 01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:31.000 sustainability for this great community 01:31:31.040 --> 01:31:34.040 organization. So fingers crossed I 01:31:34.159 --> 01:31:37.096 will be supporting this tonight. 01:31:37.120 --> 01:31:39.096 Thank you councelor Jay. Any other 01:31:39.120 --> 01:31:42.120 counselors wish to speak? 01:31:43.440 --> 01:31:46.440 Councelor Hardy, 01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:48.695 I'm 01:31:48.719 --> 01:31:51.576 I'm just a bit 01:31:51.600 --> 01:31:54.056 torn between the fact that I think we 01:31:54.080 --> 01:31:57.080 should fully fund the PCYC, 01:31:57.760 --> 01:31:59.336 you know, and really set them back on 01:31:59.360 --> 01:32:01.816 their feet. And example of that, like 01:32:01.840 --> 01:32:03.655 the Echo Center, how much are we funding 01:32:03.679 --> 01:32:05.816 to them? Could we carve $20,000 off 01:32:05.840 --> 01:32:08.135 their funding to put to this other 01:32:08.159 --> 01:32:10.376 worthy cause? Southside Justice is 01:32:10.400 --> 01:32:11.736 another one that gets a lot of funding. 01:32:11.760 --> 01:32:14.056 And I'm reading a sentence here the in 01:32:14.080 --> 01:32:16.296 relation to the urban forest strategy. 01:32:16.320 --> 01:32:19.320 The draft budget for 2627 includes 1.1 01:32:20.480 --> 01:32:23.480 1.194 million. Now why can't we carve 01:32:23.600 --> 01:32:25.816 some money off that and an additional 01:32:25.840 --> 01:32:28.215 420k is included in the draft budget 01:32:28.239 --> 01:32:30.615 2627 for the public tree canopy 01:32:30.639 --> 01:32:32.456 protection program. Well, there's a bit 01:32:32.480 --> 01:32:33.896 of money we can carve out of that as 01:32:33.920 --> 01:32:36.296 well. So that's our decision I suppose 01:32:36.320 --> 01:32:38.536 during budget time. But my argument will 01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:40.215 be let's fully fund the place, get them 01:32:40.239 --> 01:32:41.736 right back on their feet and give them a 01:32:41.760 --> 01:32:44.760 bloody good go. Thank you. thank you. 01:32:46.159 --> 01:32:47.736 Thank you councelor Hardy.

Any other counselors wish to 01:32:54.960 --> 01:32:57.960 speak? 01:32:58.400 --> 01:33:01.400 I might just comment briefly. 01:33:04.320 --> 01:33:06.615 Fully support the motion before us. do 01:33:06.639 --> 01:33:08.135 want to thank councelor Buckingham.

I commend the 01:34:33.360 --> 01:34:36.360 motion and 01:34:36.560 --> 01:34:39.560 any other speakers in which case we does 01:34:39.840 --> 01:34:42.840 the mover wish to close? The mover 01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:44.536 has indicated that they would like to 01:34:44.560 --> 01:34:47.336 put the motion. Therefore, we will take 01:34:47.360 --> 01:34:50.360 that to a vote. All those in favor 01:34:53.360 --> 01:34:56.360 that is carried unanimously. 01:34:58.080 --> 01:35:01.080 Well, 01:35:03.040 --> 01:35:06.040 takes us now to item 9.1, the urban 01:35:06.320 --> 01:35:09.096 forest strategy annual update. 01:35:09.120 --> 01:35:12.120 Any questions for officers for this 01:35:12.480 --> 01:35:15.480 item? 01:35:18.000 --> 01:35:21.000 Over to you, Councelor Halliday. 01:35:21.679 --> 01:35:23.336 thank you, Mayor. Just wondering 01:35:23.360 --> 01:35:24.615 when we're talking about um 01:35:24.639 --> 01:35:27.639 notwithstanding councelor Hardy's 01:35:28.400 --> 01:35:31.400 keenness to maybe tighten up on this 01:35:31.760 --> 01:35:34.760 one. Just wondering how many trees we've 01:35:35.199 --> 01:35:37.496 um put in this financial year and how 01:35:37.520 --> 01:35:40.520 many trees we're um planning on planting 01:35:41.280 --> 01:35:44.135 next financial year. 01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:46.296 through you may there's around 900 01:35:46.320 --> 01:35:48.135 trees that have gone in this financial 01:35:48.159 --> 01:35:50.296 year and there's a further 900 which are 01:35:50.320 --> 01:35:52.376 planned for next financial year at this 01:35:52.400 --> 01:35:54.936 point that's outside our capital works 01:35:54.960 --> 01:35:57.816 programs um 01:35:57.840 --> 01:36:00.840 thank you any further questions 01:36:02.159 --> 01:36:04.296 yes councelor Halliday 01:36:04.320 --> 01:36:05.816 just 01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:08.840 just noting that um we're pushing out 01:36:10.000 --> 01:36:11.976 the um one of the actions here I think 01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:14.776 it's action 11 around undertaking the 01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:16.376 feasibility for the canopy target to 01:36:16.400 --> 01:36:19.400 achieve on streets by 2040 of 30%. We're 01:36:20.400 --> 01:36:23.400 pushing out that analysis out to I think 01:36:23.679 --> 01:36:26.679 it's year five or something here. Um did 01:36:26.800 --> 01:36:29.800 we undertake an analysis during the 01:36:30.159 --> 01:36:32.776 design of the urban forest strategy 01:36:32.800 --> 01:36:35.800 about the number of trees we would have 01:36:36.800 --> 01:36:39.800 to plant over time to reach that target? 01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:42.936 through you Mayor. Um yes, there was 01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:45.336 an analysis that was done at that time 01:36:45.360 --> 01:36:47.976 um and it was matched up with the um 01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:49.976 urban heat island effect and the other 01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:52.215 things we had. What we didn't have at 01:36:52.239 --> 01:36:55.239 that point was um the urban forest 01:36:55.600 --> 01:36:57.816 precincts plans and the mapping that we 01:36:57.840 --> 01:36:59.816 were done with that we've done for them 01:36:59.840 --> 01:37:02.695 and are doing for them. Um, and that was 01:37:02.719 --> 01:37:05.719 the missing piece as to whether or not 01:37:05.760 --> 01:37:07.896 um what we would need to actually reach 01:37:07.920 --> 01:37:10.920 the 30% and what was um a um viable 01:37:12.000 --> 01:37:14.856 target. 01:37:14.880 --> 01:37:16.296 Yes, councelor Hel. 01:37:16.320 --> 01:37:18.296 So, just to that point again, if we're 01:37:18.320 --> 01:37:20.056 if we're pushing out this actual 01:37:20.080 --> 01:37:23.080 analysis right to 20 2030, I think it 01:37:23.199 --> 01:37:26.199 was or sorry, um where was it? It was 01:37:26.560 --> 01:37:28.856 pushed out somewhere. Anyway, um if 01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:31.336 we're pushing that out to year five, 01:37:31.360 --> 01:37:33.175 like it sounds like we have most of the 01:37:33.199 --> 01:37:35.256 information there. Do we have a did we 01:37:35.280 --> 01:37:38.280 have a a target that we think we need to 01:37:39.760 --> 01:37:42.615 of trees planted per year of a 01:37:42.639 --> 01:37:45.576 particular size to reach the target of 01:37:45.600 --> 01:37:47.736 30% by 2040? 01:37:47.760 --> 01:37:49.896 through you may the action is 01:37:49.920 --> 01:37:52.920 actually to stretch that um that action 01:37:53.440 --> 01:37:55.816 across years one to five. it isn't to 01:37:55.840 --> 01:37:58.536 push it out to year five. Um, and so 01:37:58.560 --> 01:38:00.615 work will continue throughout that 01:38:00.639 --> 01:38:03.639 process on that action with an a view 01:38:03.679 --> 01:38:06.536 to get that information as soon as 01:38:06.560 --> 01:38:09.256 possible. With regards to the trees, 01:38:09.280 --> 01:38:11.175 there was some work that was initially 01:38:11.199 --> 01:38:13.256 done. I don't know what that is off the 01:38:13.280 --> 01:38:14.776 top of my head, so I'd need to take it 01:38:14.800 --> 01:38:17.416 off on notice. 01:38:17.440 --> 01:38:19.016 Further questions, council holiday. 01:38:19.040 --> 01:38:21.336 no, no, that was your hand going up 01:38:21.360 --> 01:38:23.736 again. Any other questions for officers 01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:26.760 to this item? 01:38:27.119 --> 01:38:29.416 Yes, councelor Tamar. 01:38:29.440 --> 01:38:31.175 Just as a reminder, obviously this 01:38:31.199 --> 01:38:32.856 document is very dense and I understand 01:38:32.880 --> 01:38:35.496 we're going through the whole city 01:38:35.520 --> 01:38:38.296 with document can you remind us of 01:38:38.320 --> 01:38:40.615 what was the cost in the budget to do 01:38:40.639 --> 01:38:43.496 that the whole action you know that 01:38:43.520 --> 01:38:45.816 the whole proposal going mapping the 01:38:45.840 --> 01:38:48.840 whole city through for this strategy. So 01:38:49.040 --> 01:38:51.416 through you, Mayor, um the urban forest 01:38:51.440 --> 01:38:53.896 strategy um was adopted a couple of 01:38:53.920 --> 01:38:56.920 years ago. we do have a budget around 01:38:57.360 --> 01:39:00.296 700,000 each year for greening Port 01:39:00.320 --> 01:39:03.256 Phillip program that we do um at the 01:39:03.280 --> 01:39:05.336 next council meeting we're bringing the 01:39:05.360 --> 01:39:08.056 urban forest precinct plans um which is 01:39:08.080 --> 01:39:10.615 a very dense document which we are doing 01:39:10.639 --> 01:39:13.639 nine of across the municipality. Um and 01:39:13.679 --> 01:39:15.496 there's money in the budget for that at 01:39:15.520 --> 01:39:18.520 the moment around 300,000 01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:20.695 CEO 01:39:20.719 --> 01:39:23.175 through you, Mayor. I think there's some 01:39:23.199 --> 01:39:25.736 dedicated funding sources for components 01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:27.816 of the of the plan. The broader plan 01:39:27.840 --> 01:39:30.536 also um has about a million dollars a 01:39:30.560 --> 01:39:33.560 year um through our infill tree planting 01:39:33.679 --> 01:39:35.336 program, which is also an important part 01:39:35.360 --> 01:39:37.256 of where we will get a large part of the 01:39:37.280 --> 01:39:39.736 trees planted from. That's increased 01:39:39.760 --> 01:39:42.760 from about 700,000 I think or 660,000 01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:45.960 under the last contract. Um it has a 01:39:46.239 --> 01:39:48.056 we're planning just through that alone 01:39:48.080 --> 01:39:51.080 next year about a thousand trees 01:39:52.159 --> 01:39:54.776 under the contract. Um and they of 01:39:54.800 --> 01:39:56.536 varying sizes. We're actually looking to 01:39:56.560 --> 01:39:59.560 plant um larger size trees where we can 01:40:00.719 --> 01:40:03.095 um and that's also got a better 01:40:03.119 --> 01:40:05.256 maintenance period to reduce the amount 01:40:05.280 --> 01:40:07.256 of trees that we're seeing dying. So we 01:40:07.280 --> 01:40:09.336 get better bang or better value for 01:40:09.360 --> 01:40:10.936 money from the planting that we're doing 01:40:10.960 --> 01:40:13.576 each year. in addition to that, our 01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:15.896 capital programs also have a requirement 01:40:15.920 --> 01:40:17.496 to now think about particularly in our 01:40:17.520 --> 01:40:20.456 parks and other spaces. Um putting aside 01:40:20.480 --> 01:40:23.480 budget and planning for um tree 01:40:24.400 --> 01:40:26.215 planting as part of those works and also 01:40:26.239 --> 01:40:27.816 biodiversity. 01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:30.135 council's also got money in there for 01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:31.896 our tree canopy protection program which 01:40:31.920 --> 01:40:33.416 is really about trying to reduce the 01:40:33.440 --> 01:40:34.936 erosion of tree canopy that we have 01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:37.175 through our electrical line clearance. 01:40:37.199 --> 01:40:38.776 and the f next few years is about 01:40:38.800 --> 01:40:41.800 460,000. and it goes up to over 600,000 01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:43.576 towards the out year. So there's fairly 01:40:43.600 --> 01:40:46.135 substantial investment being made beyond 01:40:46.159 --> 01:40:49.159 the 700,000 and I am expecting I need to 01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:51.016 clarify with officers but I am expecting 01:40:51.040 --> 01:40:53.016 to see more than 900 trees planted this 01:40:53.040 --> 01:40:55.976 year well over a thousand. 01:40:56.000 --> 01:40:58.856 Any further questions? Oh councelor 01:40:58.880 --> 01:41:00.936 Timman back to you. 01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:03.960 So if I recolct we just changed the 01:41:04.960 --> 01:41:07.576 contractor to look after our trees. So, 01:41:07.600 --> 01:41:10.600 have we are we satisfied with 01:41:11.840 --> 01:41:13.816 with the work of the new contract and 01:41:13.840 --> 01:41:15.256 have you seen any differences compared 01:41:15.280 --> 01:41:18.280 to previously? 01:41:19.280 --> 01:41:20.856 I don't know. Maybe it's maybe not long 01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:22.215 enough to 01:41:22.239 --> 01:41:23.896 Yeah, it's only been it's been about two 01:41:23.920 --> 01:41:26.695 months. So, we do we are we are we are 01:41:26.719 --> 01:41:28.376 tracking performance in a range of 01:41:28.400 --> 01:41:29.976 different areas with the contractors at 01:41:30.000 --> 01:41:32.376 the moment. Obviously, beyond tree 01:41:32.400 --> 01:41:33.976 planting and and maintenance, they have 01:41:34.000 --> 01:41:35.576 a range of other responsibilities around 01:41:35.600 --> 01:41:37.336 pruning and things like that. We have 01:41:37.360 --> 01:41:39.256 seen a noticeable improvement in the 01:41:39.280 --> 01:41:41.256 tree pruning performance which had been 01:41:41.280 --> 01:41:43.496 lagging for an extended period of time 01:41:43.520 --> 01:41:45.976 under the previous contractor. I 01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:47.175 haven't had an update on the tree 01:41:47.199 --> 01:41:49.736 planting yet. we are due to get a 01:41:49.760 --> 01:41:52.695 3-month post implementation review 01:41:52.719 --> 01:41:54.615 report which we'll share with 01:41:54.639 --> 01:41:56.296 councilors and see have an update on 01:41:56.320 --> 01:41:58.856 progress how it's going. But um initial 01:41:58.880 --> 01:42:01.880 signs are pretty positive. 01:42:02.159 --> 01:42:04.615 Councelor Timman another question. 01:42:04.639 --> 01:42:06.936 Yes. in my street obviously the 01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:08.936 contract has been very busy because 01:42:08.960 --> 01:42:10.615 there actually four trees they have to 01:42:10.639 --> 01:42:12.056 go because they are not the right trees 01:42:12.080 --> 01:42:15.080 or they are dead or whatever. So in in 01:42:15.520 --> 01:42:18.520 um once a tree is removed how long do we 01:42:19.920 --> 01:42:21.896 have to wait until it is replaced? I 01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:24.135 don't know if there's a standard if 01:42:24.159 --> 01:42:25.175 someone can 01:42:25.199 --> 01:42:28.199 through you may it does depend on 01:42:28.239 --> 01:42:30.056 when the tree is removed. If it's 01:42:30.080 --> 01:42:31.976 removed through planting season, it will 01:42:32.000 --> 01:42:33.976 happen quicker and if it's removed 01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:36.376 outside planting season, it will take a 01:42:36.400 --> 01:42:38.695 little bit longer and it depends on tree 01:42:38.719 --> 01:42:41.719 stock as well. So, um, with 01:42:43.119 --> 01:42:44.856 the answer is a little bit it can vary, 01:42:44.880 --> 01:42:46.615 but we do try and put trees in as 01:42:46.639 --> 01:42:49.175 quickly as possible. 01:42:49.199 --> 01:42:52.199 Deputy May, you have a question. 01:42:54.480 --> 01:42:57.016 Yes, thank you, Mayor M. My question is 01:42:57.040 --> 01:42:59.816 is in relation specifically to nature 01:42:59.840 --> 01:43:02.840 strip. Um and this may have been visited 01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:07.239 this issue in recent times but um I'm 01:43:08.000 --> 01:43:11.000 probably trying to find out how um 01:43:11.600 --> 01:43:14.600 constrained we are in terms of 01:43:15.920 --> 01:43:18.215 perhaps adding to or changing some 01:43:18.239 --> 01:43:21.239 elements of the nature strip guidelines. 01:43:21.440 --> 01:43:23.256 specifically 01:43:23.280 --> 01:43:26.280 when one looks at St Kilda Road there is 01:43:26.880 --> 01:43:29.880 I believe great opportunity for the 01:43:30.080 --> 01:43:32.936 nature strips the particularly wide 01:43:32.960 --> 01:43:35.576 to be more than just grass 01:43:35.600 --> 01:43:38.600 um and when allied with a community 01:43:38.960 --> 01:43:41.960 interest and desire to participate 01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:45.000 in um developing those nature strips 01:43:45.440 --> 01:43:47.016 into 01:43:47.040 --> 01:43:50.040 more attractive areas. Um I is that 01:43:50.239 --> 01:43:52.615 something we are able to do in the short 01:43:52.639 --> 01:43:55.639 term or do we have to wait until 2029? 01:43:57.280 --> 01:43:58.615 Thank you. 01:43:58.639 --> 01:44:00.776 through you may the nature strip 01:44:00.800 --> 01:44:02.936 guidel so nature strips throughout the 01:44:02.960 --> 01:44:05.960 municipality are mainly um up 01:44:08.400 --> 01:44:11.175 maintained by residents. Um the nature 01:44:11.199 --> 01:44:14.199 strip guidelines is was created so that 01:44:15.199 --> 01:44:16.695 residents didn't have to jump through 01:44:16.719 --> 01:44:19.719 hoops to to um upgrade their nature 01:44:20.000 --> 01:44:22.856 strips out the front of their houses. So 01:44:22.880 --> 01:44:25.880 what is in those guidelines is um how to 01:44:26.400 --> 01:44:28.776 do it, what you can do on those nature 01:44:28.800 --> 01:44:31.256 strips um and the best way to to 01:44:31.280 --> 01:44:34.280 approach it. Um so yes, we do encourage 01:44:34.880 --> 01:44:37.095 um community members to upgrade their 01:44:37.119 --> 01:44:39.736 nature strips. What they do need to do, 01:44:39.760 --> 01:44:42.215 what the nature strips also, nature 01:44:42.239 --> 01:44:45.239 strip guidelines also outline is some 01:44:45.440 --> 01:44:47.175 restrictions to make sure that people 01:44:47.199 --> 01:44:49.736 can get in and out of their cars so that 01:44:49.760 --> 01:44:52.760 pathways remain clear so everyone can 01:44:53.040 --> 01:44:55.816 use them um regardless of their access 01:44:55.840 --> 01:44:58.840 needs. Um and to not plant near too 01:44:59.280 --> 01:45:01.576 close to trees to ensure the trees are 01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:04.135 healthy. Um so we absolutely encourage 01:45:04.159 --> 01:45:07.159 our community to upgrade nature strips 01:45:07.440 --> 01:45:10.440 um in an appropriate manner. Um and we 01:45:10.719 --> 01:45:13.719 have um a greening community greening 01:45:13.920 --> 01:45:16.920 officer within a council who can also 01:45:17.280 --> 01:45:20.280 help community members um with any 01:45:22.400 --> 01:45:25.095 with ideas and um assistance as to what 01:45:25.119 --> 01:45:27.896 they can and can't do. That position um 01:45:27.920 --> 01:45:30.135 is currently vacant, but it will be 01:45:30.159 --> 01:45:33.095 filled within the next month. 01:45:33.119 --> 01:45:35.416 Thank you. We had a further question 01:45:35.440 --> 01:45:37.736 from councelor Halliday. 01:45:37.760 --> 01:45:39.736 just following up on that discussion 01:45:39.760 --> 01:45:41.655 like obviously we have the nature 01:45:41.679 --> 01:45:44.056 strip guidelines but do we offer actual 01:45:44.080 --> 01:45:47.080 kind of support or you know more you 01:45:48.320 --> 01:45:50.695 know more tangible support for people 01:45:50.719 --> 01:45:52.856 who actually want to um plant out their 01:45:52.880 --> 01:45:54.936 nature strips 01:45:54.960 --> 01:45:57.960 through you Mayor. Um 01:45:58.639 --> 01:46:01.639 we we offer support in way of 01:46:01.760 --> 01:46:03.976 education and this the community 01:46:04.000 --> 01:46:06.615 greening officer. Um we currently don't 01:46:06.639 --> 01:46:09.576 offer any um financial or plants or 01:46:09.600 --> 01:46:11.655 anything but there is we do run 01:46:11.679 --> 01:46:14.679 education programs and um and the 01:46:14.800 --> 01:46:16.296 community greening officer can come out 01:46:16.320 --> 01:46:18.536 and help community members. Plus we're 01:46:18.560 --> 01:46:20.856 also updating the information on our 01:46:20.880 --> 01:46:22.536 website. So there'll be lots of handy 01:46:22.560 --> 01:46:24.936 tips and tricks there. 01:46:24.960 --> 01:46:27.095 And did you have a further question 01:46:27.119 --> 01:46:29.095 council? Councelor Jay had a question 01:46:29.119 --> 01:46:31.655 earlier. 01:46:31.679 --> 01:46:33.416 Um 01:46:33.440 --> 01:46:36.440 couple of just random questions Dana. Um 01:46:36.800 --> 01:46:39.336 the first one is is irrigation and 01:46:39.360 --> 01:46:41.655 watering included in this plan or is 01:46:41.679 --> 01:46:44.679 that something separate? 01:46:44.800 --> 01:46:47.256 through you Mayor. Um the urban 01:46:47.280 --> 01:46:49.976 forest strategy did um propose an to 01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:53.000 develop an irrigation strategy um which 01:46:53.040 --> 01:46:56.040 was off the back of both the um act and 01:46:56.639 --> 01:46:58.296 adapt strategy and the public space 01:46:58.320 --> 01:47:01.320 strategy. Um council approach now is to 01:47:02.880 --> 01:47:05.576 have a I might get the the words wrong 01:47:05.600 --> 01:47:08.600 here but um a a a water strategy rather 01:47:08.880 --> 01:47:11.496 than being at that granular level. Um, 01:47:11.520 --> 01:47:13.095 and we're waiting for that to be done 01:47:13.119 --> 01:47:16.119 first before we continue on um with 01:47:16.400 --> 01:47:19.400 other strategies to do with water. 01:47:23.440 --> 01:47:25.416 Oh, sorry. Let me just put my glasses 01:47:25.440 --> 01:47:28.296 on. Um, 01:47:28.320 --> 01:47:30.936 this might be a tricky question, but in 01:47:30.960 --> 01:47:33.960 areas like Lakeside and Demain, is Brian 01:47:34.639 --> 01:47:37.496 Mes getting an urban forestry strategy 01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:40.520 and is St Kilder Road state and can that 01:47:41.520 --> 01:47:44.520 nature strip be improved on St Kilda 01:47:45.199 --> 01:47:47.336 Road? 01:47:47.360 --> 01:47:49.655 through you, Mayor. The urban forest 01:47:49.679 --> 01:47:51.095 strategy covers the whole of the 01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:53.576 municipality. Um the urban forest 01:47:53.600 --> 01:47:56.600 precinct plans um are the are the work 01:47:57.119 --> 01:48:00.119 plans for each area. Um we've done one 01:48:00.719 --> 01:48:03.016 for Bellaclava East and Kilda. We're 01:48:03.040 --> 01:48:06.040 bringing two next well next council 01:48:06.239 --> 01:48:08.776 meeting which is Elbert Park Middle 01:48:08.800 --> 01:48:11.800 Park and St Kilda and St Kilda West and 01:48:11.840 --> 01:48:13.496 the other ones will be done throughout 01:48:13.520 --> 01:48:15.976 the next financial year to be adopted 01:48:16.000 --> 01:48:19.000 before June 30 next financial year. 01:48:19.440 --> 01:48:22.440 Um, and with regards to St. Kilda Road, 01:48:23.679 --> 01:48:26.135 um, I can take that on notice and and we 01:48:26.159 --> 01:48:28.215 can have a, I'd need a little bit 01:48:28.239 --> 01:48:29.655 more information 01:48:29.679 --> 01:48:31.976 cuz it there are they're really lovely 01:48:32.000 --> 01:48:33.736 big nature strips, but it's a little bit 01:48:33.760 --> 01:48:35.336 sort of artial state. 01:48:35.360 --> 01:48:36.456 That's going to be a question. 01:48:36.480 --> 01:48:39.016 Well, just take it on notice and see if 01:48:39.040 --> 01:48:40.456 there's something we can do to St. 01:48:40.480 --> 01:48:43.480 Kilder Road. Now, one more question. Um 01:48:43.760 --> 01:48:46.695 if residents in more the suburban 01:48:46.719 --> 01:48:48.936 suburbs of Port Phillip are tending to 01:48:48.960 --> 01:48:50.376 their nature strip and there's some 01:48:50.400 --> 01:48:53.400 beautiful gardens um um and if they did 01:48:53.840 --> 01:48:56.056 feel that the nature strip which may not 01:48:56.080 --> 01:48:57.896 be a garden they planted needed more 01:48:57.920 --> 01:49:00.920 mulch. Is there an avenue for them to 01:49:00.960 --> 01:49:03.960 request more mulch for our nature strip 01:49:04.400 --> 01:49:07.256 gardens 01:49:07.280 --> 01:49:09.576 through you may there's not currently 01:49:09.600 --> 01:49:12.600 budget to assist with alternate planting 01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:15.800 of nature strips. 01:49:16.719 --> 01:49:17.896 Further question councelor 01:49:17.920 --> 01:49:20.376 sorry this will be my last question. Um, 01:49:20.400 --> 01:49:23.400 when nature strips are planted out, do 01:49:24.719 --> 01:49:27.719 we maintain or do we check up on those 01:49:27.920 --> 01:49:30.695 nature strips regularly to make sure 01:49:30.719 --> 01:49:32.615 that they have enough mulch and and 01:49:32.639 --> 01:49:35.336 everything else that they may need 01:49:35.360 --> 01:49:38.296 through you, Mayor? Nature strip um 01:49:38.320 --> 01:49:41.320 maintenance is a residential um 01:49:41.679 --> 01:49:44.679 responsibility. So, no, we don't. 01:49:46.320 --> 01:49:49.320 Council Holiday, back to you. Sorry. Um, 01:49:50.000 --> 01:49:53.000 thank you, Dana. with the, um, with 01:49:53.679 --> 01:49:55.416 the plane trees, we're we're getting a 01:49:55.440 --> 01:49:57.655 plane tree strategy or whatever it is 01:49:57.679 --> 01:49:59.976 coming up. I'm just wondering, you know, 01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:03.000 with the electrical line clearance 01:50:03.520 --> 01:50:05.896 work, which we're also still waiting on 01:50:05.920 --> 01:50:08.456 hopefully some relief on that front, but 01:50:08.480 --> 01:50:10.776 we have a, um, an aerial bundling 01:50:10.800 --> 01:50:13.800 program at the moment. How much money do 01:50:13.920 --> 01:50:16.536 we dedicate to aerial bundling at the 01:50:16.560 --> 01:50:19.016 moment? and and how much does that cost 01:50:19.040 --> 01:50:22.040 us per span um in the city? 01:50:25.280 --> 01:50:27.016 So 01:50:27.040 --> 01:50:29.016 through you may that program that I 01:50:29.040 --> 01:50:31.175 referred to previously around our street 01:50:31.199 --> 01:50:33.256 tree canopy protection program that's 01:50:33.280 --> 01:50:35.736 essentially the bundling. So basically 01:50:35.760 --> 01:50:38.760 it's about 440,000 I think this year and 01:50:39.760 --> 01:50:41.496 next couple of years it grows to about 01:50:41.520 --> 01:50:44.296 600,000. It just depends on we we are 01:50:44.320 --> 01:50:47.016 relying on working with um the 01:50:47.040 --> 01:50:49.976 electrical line agencies um to make sure 01:50:50.000 --> 01:50:52.376 that we get approvals and obviously then 01:50:52.400 --> 01:50:53.896 there's a work there's a there's a fair 01:50:53.920 --> 01:50:55.736 bit of work that goes into coordinating 01:50:55.760 --> 01:50:58.760 and making those works happen. Um the 01:50:58.800 --> 01:51:01.800 figures can vary quite widely. Um I'll 01:51:02.159 --> 01:51:04.536 come back I'll take it on notice and and 01:51:04.560 --> 01:51:06.456 get some information for you. Basically, 01:51:06.480 --> 01:51:09.256 it's where we're trying to avoid 01:51:09.280 --> 01:51:12.215 harsh pruning or tree removal through um 01:51:12.239 --> 01:51:15.239 taking practical steps to 01:51:15.520 --> 01:51:18.520 um readjust how the lines are currently 01:51:18.639 --> 01:51:21.416 um located. We don't really do 01:51:21.440 --> 01:51:22.296 undergrounding because that's 01:51:22.320 --> 01:51:23.816 prohibitively expensive, but the 01:51:23.840 --> 01:51:25.095 bundling that you've talked about is 01:51:25.119 --> 01:51:28.119 generally the strategy that we approach. 01:51:29.199 --> 01:51:32.199 Any further questions? 01:51:34.239 --> 01:51:37.239 Going once. Going twice. 01:51:37.599 --> 01:51:39.575 There's a recommendation before us. Is 01:51:39.599 --> 01:51:40.936 that 01:51:40.960 --> 01:51:42.536 Yes, you certainly can. Councelor 01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:45.560 Halliday. Do we have a seconder? 01:51:47.119 --> 01:51:49.896 That is seconded. Councelor Jay, does 01:51:49.920 --> 01:51:52.920 the mover wish to speak? 01:51:54.080 --> 01:51:56.536 Um, 01:51:56.560 --> 01:51:58.936 thank you again officers and thank 01:51:58.960 --> 01:52:01.816 you Dana for um 01:52:01.840 --> 01:52:04.840 being peppered with questions. I'd 01:52:05.360 --> 01:52:07.095 love to spend more money on planting 01:52:07.119 --> 01:52:10.119 trees, Rod. let's spend more money 01:52:11.119 --> 01:52:13.496 planting trees. Everyone loves trees, 01:52:13.520 --> 01:52:15.416 don't they? 01:52:15.440 --> 01:52:17.896 I think this is a very important 01:52:17.920 --> 01:52:20.536 piece of work um for the city of Port 01:52:20.560 --> 01:52:22.536 Phillip. First, in actually having an 01:52:22.560 --> 01:52:25.560 urban forest strategy. second in the 01:52:26.320 --> 01:52:29.320 way that it a recognizes the benefits of 01:52:29.840 --> 01:52:32.296 tree canopy in the long term whether 01:52:32.320 --> 01:52:35.320 it's um because of urban heat island 01:52:36.080 --> 01:52:37.736 effects and the mitigating effect of the 01:52:37.760 --> 01:52:40.215 trees but just for the the health and 01:52:40.239 --> 01:52:43.239 well-being benefits of having trees near 01:52:43.840 --> 01:52:46.840 where you live, near where you walk on 01:52:47.199 --> 01:52:50.199 the streets um and near where you work. 01:52:50.320 --> 01:52:53.320 as well. The the benefits of trees 01:52:53.440 --> 01:52:55.416 are immense in all of these areas. Very 01:52:55.440 --> 01:52:58.440 well documented. Um hence my questions 01:52:59.040 --> 01:53:01.896 here about how we're going to get to our 01:53:01.920 --> 01:53:04.296 target. I want to see us succeed in this 01:53:04.320 --> 01:53:07.016 target. I want us to um you know and I 01:53:07.040 --> 01:53:08.615 know we are taking this very seriously. 01:53:08.639 --> 01:53:10.936 I want us to resource this properly as 01:53:10.960 --> 01:53:13.095 well so that it does succeed so that we 01:53:13.119 --> 01:53:16.119 do achieve our 30%. Um as um Dana says, 01:53:16.880 --> 01:53:18.776 you know, we're seeing our next 01:53:18.800 --> 01:53:20.856 precinct plans coming up for St. Kilda 01:53:20.880 --> 01:53:23.880 West, St Kilda um and Elbert Park and 01:53:23.920 --> 01:53:25.976 Middle Park. it's exciting to see 01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:28.056 these. I think we have some challenges 01:53:28.080 --> 01:53:29.655 coming up as well. We have the 01:53:29.679 --> 01:53:30.936 challenges of how we're going to manage 01:53:30.960 --> 01:53:33.336 our plane trees. We have the challenges 01:53:33.360 --> 01:53:35.256 of how we're going to manage our palm 01:53:35.280 --> 01:53:38.280 trees. Um and we have some big risks in 01:53:39.040 --> 01:53:42.040 both of those areas. so I am 01:53:43.679 --> 01:53:45.175 exceptionally 01:53:45.199 --> 01:53:48.199 um proud of the work we're doing here. 01:53:48.239 --> 01:53:49.736 Happy to hear that we've got new 01:53:49.760 --> 01:53:51.736 contractors here who are better 01:53:51.760 --> 01:53:53.496 nurturing our trees that we are getting 01:53:53.520 --> 01:53:55.736 in the in the ground. Happy to hear that 01:53:55.760 --> 01:53:57.736 we are planting more trees. We are 01:53:57.760 --> 01:53:59.896 taking better care of them. this is 01:53:59.920 --> 01:54:01.496 important work and it's important for 01:54:01.520 --> 01:54:03.336 every one of us who lives in this city. 01:54:03.360 --> 01:54:06.360 so thank you all and um let's keep 01:54:07.199 --> 01:54:10.199 pushing for more trees. and better 01:54:10.400 --> 01:54:13.400 trees through our city. 01:54:13.840 --> 01:54:16.840 Does the secondary wish to speak? 01:54:22.159 --> 01:54:25.159 Um interestingly, one of the biggest um 01:54:26.320 --> 01:54:29.320 complaints that I've received over my 01:54:29.599 --> 01:54:31.496 year and a half at council is about 01:54:31.520 --> 01:54:34.520 trees. Um, not enough, too many. Too 01:54:35.119 --> 01:54:37.736 many roots, not enough water, too many 01:54:37.760 --> 01:54:40.760 weeds, too close to the electrical 01:54:40.960 --> 01:54:42.695 lines. You've cut it back too much. You 01:54:42.719 --> 01:54:45.095 haven't cut it back enough. Um, it's in 01:54:45.119 --> 01:54:46.695 my gutters, it's out of my gutters, it's 01:54:46.719 --> 01:54:49.095 in the drain, it's out of the drain. We 01:54:49.119 --> 01:54:51.896 all absolutely um, living in the inner 01:54:51.920 --> 01:54:54.856 city is great, but we do face challenges 01:54:54.880 --> 01:54:57.095 where we are sharing our space with 01:54:57.119 --> 01:55:00.119 nature. um just due to a lot of the 01:55:00.320 --> 01:55:02.135 services that are so close under the 01:55:02.159 --> 01:55:04.135 ground makes it really difficult just to 01:55:04.159 --> 01:55:06.776 plant trees. I think um you know it's 01:55:06.800 --> 01:55:08.536 easy just to sort of say hey we'll just 01:55:08.560 --> 01:55:10.615 plant the trees but there is a lot of 01:55:10.639 --> 01:55:12.376 services in the inner city under the 01:55:12.400 --> 01:55:14.856 ground that really inhibits what we do 01:55:14.880 --> 01:55:17.816 and and where we do it. Um, this council 01:55:17.840 --> 01:55:20.840 is certainly focused um on more green, 01:55:20.960 --> 01:55:22.456 especially to balance out the 01:55:22.480 --> 01:55:25.016 densification of of our buildings, 01:55:25.040 --> 01:55:27.256 especially along St. Kilder Road and 01:55:27.280 --> 01:55:30.215 some of those other other really builtup 01:55:30.239 --> 01:55:32.776 areas. So, I absolutely support these 01:55:32.800 --> 01:55:35.800 strategies and finding a way through 01:55:36.400 --> 01:55:39.400 this um and having a green city. So, 01:55:40.560 --> 01:55:43.016 thank you. 01:55:43.040 --> 01:55:45.655 Any other councilors wish to speak? Yes, 01:55:45.679 --> 01:55:47.655 councelor Gonzalez. 01:55:47.679 --> 01:55:49.336 Thank you. I too am very supportive of 01:55:49.360 --> 01:55:51.095 more trees. You really notice in summer 01:55:51.119 --> 01:55:53.016 how much cooler it is when we have a 01:55:53.040 --> 01:55:55.736 treelined area. they are problematic 01:55:55.760 --> 01:55:57.736 in the leaf season, but we are working 01:55:57.760 --> 01:55:59.175 through that and making sure that as we 01:55:59.199 --> 01:56:00.936 move forward, we're selecting the right 01:56:00.960 --> 01:56:02.296 trees and there's much more knowledge 01:56:02.320 --> 01:56:05.016 and our team's really well um resourced 01:56:05.040 --> 01:56:06.856 for this knowledge and I appreciate 01:56:06.880 --> 01:56:08.615 everything they put into this. The 01:56:08.639 --> 01:56:10.776 nature strip guidelines was a big topic 01:56:10.800 --> 01:56:12.695 a couple years ago and since then I've 01:56:12.719 --> 01:56:14.296 actually had really positive comments 01:56:14.320 --> 01:56:15.496 come back to me. So, I'm glad we're 01:56:15.520 --> 01:56:18.056 seeing that continue. I do think that we 01:56:18.080 --> 01:56:20.615 should look at a policy in the council 01:56:20.639 --> 01:56:23.175 about letting people irrigate the nature 01:56:23.199 --> 01:56:25.095 strips because if people are willing to 01:56:25.119 --> 01:56:26.456 pay for the water, it's only going to 01:56:26.480 --> 01:56:28.296 benefit. But it's just probably that how 01:56:28.320 --> 01:56:31.095 it works on public land. But it really a 01:56:31.119 --> 01:56:32.936 lot of people drag out the hoses to do 01:56:32.960 --> 01:56:34.456 it because it's the right thing to do to 01:56:34.480 --> 01:56:36.536 make those trees and um grass or 01:56:36.560 --> 01:56:37.976 whatever is all the nature strips. I 01:56:38.000 --> 01:56:39.736 live in Garden City, so it's very much 01:56:39.760 --> 01:56:41.496 big nature strips. That's probably more 01:56:41.520 --> 01:56:43.976 my area I'm talking about. But um 01:56:44.000 --> 01:56:45.016 something that we might need to look 01:56:45.040 --> 01:56:48.040 into as an option. Thank you. 01:56:48.239 --> 01:56:50.376 Any other counselors wish to speak? 01:56:50.400 --> 01:56:52.856 Councelor Tamman. 01:56:52.880 --> 01:56:54.695 Well, I think we need a new a good 01:56:54.719 --> 01:56:56.456 strategy because just looking at my 01:56:56.480 --> 01:56:59.256 street where trees were planted 15 or 20 01:56:59.280 --> 01:57:00.536 years ago and now they have to be 01:57:00.560 --> 01:57:01.575 removed because they had the wrong 01:57:01.599 --> 01:57:04.599 trees. So the trees take a long time to 01:57:05.199 --> 01:57:07.095 grow and it's sort of disappointing that 01:57:07.119 --> 01:57:09.896 if we don't do it right, it's we 01:57:09.920 --> 01:57:11.736 don't we definitely achieve the wrong 01:57:11.760 --> 01:57:14.760 outcome. So um I hope that this strategy 01:57:15.920 --> 01:57:18.920 will guide us through the future because 01:57:19.040 --> 01:57:20.856 you know as I said trees take a long 01:57:20.880 --> 01:57:23.496 time to grow and if you want to reach 01:57:23.520 --> 01:57:26.520 the canopy that we've reached by 2050 01:57:26.719 --> 01:57:29.719 we need good trees that grow. 01:57:31.440 --> 01:57:33.976 Any other councilors wish to speak? 01:57:34.000 --> 01:57:37.000 Deputy Mayor messes over to you. 01:57:38.480 --> 01:57:41.480 Thank you. my comments really I'm 01:57:41.760 --> 01:57:43.896 quite encouraged by this. I I think 01:57:43.920 --> 01:57:46.920 there's great potential. I believe we 01:57:46.960 --> 01:57:49.960 should tap further into the community's 01:57:50.400 --> 01:57:53.400 willingness and desire to be part of 01:57:53.520 --> 01:57:56.520 their surroundings to to impact their 01:57:57.599 --> 01:58:00.536 surroundings to improve be creative 01:58:00.560 --> 01:58:03.560 and really spend time in the 01:58:03.920 --> 01:58:06.920 environment. I I agree with 01:58:08.560 --> 01:58:11.560 councelor Halliday. everyone loves 01:58:12.080 --> 01:58:14.215 trees and there's a good part of 01:58:14.239 --> 01:58:17.239 Lakeside has got trees up and down 01:58:17.920 --> 01:58:20.920 Sin Kilda Road. We've also got massive 01:58:21.760 --> 01:58:24.456 nature strips that are basically covered 01:58:24.480 --> 01:58:27.336 in grass. Council has to um mow 01:58:27.360 --> 01:58:29.016 frequently. 01:58:29.040 --> 01:58:32.040 My vision is that we motivate an army of 01:58:32.480 --> 01:58:35.480 these of the in the community to do more 01:58:36.159 --> 01:58:38.615 in the nature strip on the nature strips 01:58:38.639 --> 01:58:41.016 that that are up and down St Kilda road 01:58:41.040 --> 01:58:43.175 and I appreciate the comments that donor 01:58:43.199 --> 01:58:46.199 has made in terms of the availability of 01:58:46.320 --> 01:58:49.320 information um and guidelines etc. But I 01:58:51.440 --> 01:58:53.816 think over time I would like to be a lot 01:58:53.840 --> 01:58:56.840 more um I suppose put more pressure 01:58:58.320 --> 01:59:01.320 locally and give stronger guidance to 01:59:03.360 --> 01:59:06.360 how we can irrigate what type of plants 01:59:06.719 --> 01:59:09.416 and actually get people lined up to 01:59:09.440 --> 01:59:12.440 assist on the ground because I see the 01:59:12.639 --> 01:59:15.336 nature strip extending from Sinilda 01:59:15.360 --> 01:59:18.360 Junction to Turk Road as opposed to two 01:59:19.520 --> 01:59:21.336 two feet outside the front of my 01:59:21.360 --> 01:59:24.360 property. So, I I encourage and will be 01:59:25.040 --> 01:59:27.736 encouraging a lot more community 01:59:27.760 --> 01:59:30.760 involvement in this particular 01:59:31.040 --> 01:59:33.496 strategy. So, well done so far, 01:59:33.520 --> 01:59:35.655 but I think we can do a lot more. We can 01:59:35.679 --> 01:59:37.655 be a lot more creative and it doesn't 01:59:37.679 --> 01:59:39.976 have to cost us money. So, thank you for 01:59:40.000 --> 01:59:42.215 that. Thank you. 01:59:42.239 --> 01:59:44.135 Thank you, Deputy Mayor.

Thank you. um just 02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:06.056 they were 02:04:06.080 --> 02:04:09.080 you know engaging with us around their 02:04:09.440 --> 02:04:12.440 their level of um involvement or in 02:04:13.040 --> 02:04:14.695 being informed about the updates but 02:04:14.719 --> 02:04:17.719 also about having their needs on the 02:04:18.239 --> 02:04:20.856 site addressed through the process. what 02:04:20.880 --> 02:04:23.880 can they expect during this process and 02:04:24.320 --> 02:04:27.320 going you know if if there is a new um 02:04:27.520 --> 02:04:30.520 you know vendor or um operator appointed 02:04:31.119 --> 02:04:34.119 to the site. 02:04:34.480 --> 02:04:36.296 thank you for the question through 02:04:36.320 --> 02:04:38.856 you Mayor. 02:04:38.880 --> 02:04:41.655 we do note I'll start off by saying 02:04:41.679 --> 02:04:44.215 we do note the the long interest the 02:04:44.239 --> 02:04:46.936 interest and strong history long 02:04:46.960 --> 02:04:49.016 history of the coast guard and their 02:04:49.040 --> 02:04:52.040 work um and their involvement in in the 02:04:52.800 --> 02:04:55.800 municipality. 02:04:55.840 --> 02:04:58.840 We also note their interest in being 02:04:59.040 --> 02:05:01.816 directly informed not just through 02:05:01.840 --> 02:05:04.840 the newsletters. Um we thank them for 02:05:05.119 --> 02:05:07.655 meeting with us last week. that was 02:05:07.679 --> 02:05:10.536 informative and we hope to keep up 02:05:10.560 --> 02:05:12.695 that dialogue as we move through the 02:05:12.719 --> 02:05:15.719 process. Um keep in mind that the 02:05:16.400 --> 02:05:19.400 process is um not likely to be a short 02:05:19.599 --> 02:05:21.575 one. The transaction process is multiple 02:05:21.599 --> 02:05:24.536 stage. Um from go to where we anticipate 02:05:24.560 --> 02:05:26.936 it will take about 18 months. and 02:05:26.960 --> 02:05:28.615 that's just the transaction process. And 02:05:28.639 --> 02:05:31.639 then beyond that um assuming we secure a 02:05:33.119 --> 02:05:35.896 a tenant there'll be other stages 02:05:35.920 --> 02:05:38.920 like design etc. 02:05:40.080 --> 02:05:41.336 Thank you for taking my question 02:05:41.360 --> 02:05:42.456 councelor Halliday. I was going to 02:05:42.480 --> 02:05:43.976 ask that one. 02:05:44.000 --> 02:05:46.456 Any further questions? Yes councelor 02:05:46.480 --> 02:05:49.480 Tim. 02:05:52.400 --> 02:05:55.336 As we are aware, there is a substantial 02:05:55.360 --> 02:05:57.416 soil contamination in the city of Port 02:05:57.440 --> 02:05:59.575 Phillip and this is in particular the 02:05:59.599 --> 02:06:01.175 case here at the Sincular Marina which 02:06:01.199 --> 02:06:04.199 was built on infield soil. This will be 02:06:04.639 --> 02:06:06.695 a risk for any prospective tenants for 02:06:06.719 --> 02:06:09.256 the marina and this has proven in the 02:06:09.280 --> 02:06:12.280 past. what is proposed to help 02:06:12.719 --> 02:06:15.719 tenants understand and manage this risk? 02:06:18.800 --> 02:06:20.936 through you. Mayor, city of Port Phillip 02:06:20.960 --> 02:06:23.816 has commissioned a detailed site 02:06:23.840 --> 02:06:25.575 investigation. 02:06:25.599 --> 02:06:28.599 The report for that, the report um 02:06:29.360 --> 02:06:31.496 provides an understanding of the 02:06:31.520 --> 02:06:34.520 contamination profile of the site. We've 02:06:34.880 --> 02:06:37.880 also commissioned an independent 02:06:38.239 --> 02:06:41.239 assessment to consider the to assess 02:06:41.760 --> 02:06:44.760 the and consider the groundwater flow 02:06:45.520 --> 02:06:47.816 across the site. principally from the um 02:06:47.840 --> 02:06:50.135 the petrol station. 02:06:50.159 --> 02:06:52.456 so that's useful information that we 02:06:52.480 --> 02:06:55.256 have that we intend to provide 02:06:55.280 --> 02:06:58.280 to through this process to 02:06:58.480 --> 02:07:01.480 potential tenderers to help them assess 02:07:01.520 --> 02:07:04.135 the the risks of the site the costs 02:07:04.159 --> 02:07:07.159 of dealing with those risks. and um 02:07:09.119 --> 02:07:10.936 that's in addition to other other 02:07:10.960 --> 02:07:12.695 investigations that we've had completed 02:07:12.719 --> 02:07:14.376 or having completed and will also 02:07:14.400 --> 02:07:17.175 provide to help them build up a picture 02:07:17.199 --> 02:07:20.199 of the of the opportunity and also 02:07:21.040 --> 02:07:23.336 make um help them with their own 02:07:23.360 --> 02:07:26.055 assessments of the site. 02:07:26.079 --> 02:07:28.215 Councelor Tamman, 02:07:28.239 --> 02:07:29.976 you tell me if it's a question I can't 02:07:30.000 --> 02:07:32.615 ask but or it should be a question 02:07:32.639 --> 02:07:34.695 asked during the confidential but 02:07:34.719 --> 02:07:35.976 obviously there are cost of 02:07:36.000 --> 02:07:39.000 decontaminating the site. So um and I 02:07:39.599 --> 02:07:42.135 know that there have been problems with 02:07:42.159 --> 02:07:45.095 in the last you know through the proc 02:07:45.119 --> 02:07:46.615 you know the recent process about who is 02:07:46.639 --> 02:07:49.639 paying for it. So um how we and there 02:07:50.800 --> 02:07:52.376 were figures up to 20 million at some 02:07:52.400 --> 02:07:54.536 point in time for to decontaminate the 02:07:54.560 --> 02:07:57.560 site. So is who who are we are we just 02:07:58.079 --> 02:08:00.776 expecting the future tenant to pay for 02:08:00.800 --> 02:08:02.615 it or is council going to contribute or 02:08:02.639 --> 02:08:05.639 what what are the best options to look 02:08:05.760 --> 02:08:07.655 at the contamination obviously 02:08:07.679 --> 02:08:10.615 understand that it's contamin it's you 02:08:10.639 --> 02:08:12.776 know you have to take once you start 02:08:12.800 --> 02:08:14.695 digging and things so I suppose there 02:08:14.719 --> 02:08:17.719 are ways to deal with it but how we how 02:08:18.800 --> 02:08:20.536 we you know you know if there's a big 02:08:20.560 --> 02:08:23.336 cost who's going to pay for it or who 02:08:23.360 --> 02:08:26.360 are we expecting to pay for 02:08:26.880 --> 02:08:29.575 through you may to develop the site 02:08:29.599 --> 02:08:32.456 according to the site vision um comes 02:08:32.480 --> 02:08:35.256 with very major costs. One of them is 02:08:35.280 --> 02:08:37.816 the site contamination 02:08:37.840 --> 02:08:40.296 we're doing. The principal way that we 02:08:40.320 --> 02:08:42.296 can assist is to provide the information 02:08:42.320 --> 02:08:44.215 that we have to help people make their 02:08:44.239 --> 02:08:47.239 own assessment about the costs. 02:08:47.360 --> 02:08:49.896 Importantly though 02:08:49.920 --> 02:08:52.776 um part of the cost of of of 02:08:52.800 --> 02:08:55.016 decontaminating and and the management 02:08:55.040 --> 02:08:58.040 of that that um contamination challenge 02:08:58.880 --> 02:09:01.336 um will depend on what specifically is 02:09:01.360 --> 02:09:03.095 proposed. So by understanding the 02:09:03.119 --> 02:09:05.575 profile of contamination 02:09:05.599 --> 02:09:08.376 including which parts of the sites 02:09:08.400 --> 02:09:11.400 are more or less contaminated the the 02:09:11.440 --> 02:09:14.440 the development um a tendra can propose 02:09:15.440 --> 02:09:18.055 a concept that that better or less suits 02:09:18.079 --> 02:09:20.776 or better suits and better manages the 02:09:20.800 --> 02:09:23.800 contamination. So part of the cost 02:09:24.000 --> 02:09:26.536 and managing the cost is really a 02:09:26.560 --> 02:09:29.560 matter for for the developer. 02:09:31.199 --> 02:09:34.199 councelor Tamman. 02:09:34.400 --> 02:09:37.175 So obviously um looking at 02:09:37.199 --> 02:09:39.175 contamination, we've got the land and 02:09:39.199 --> 02:09:42.135 then we've got the water. So and I 02:09:42.159 --> 02:09:44.215 understand that the water has never been 02:09:44.239 --> 02:09:47.239 really cleaned or decontaminated. So 02:09:47.920 --> 02:09:50.615 is that the the water where the boats 02:09:50.639 --> 02:09:52.936 are? Is that also part of the 02:09:52.960 --> 02:09:54.456 contamination of the way we look at it 02:09:54.480 --> 02:09:57.336 or is it just the land content around 02:09:57.360 --> 02:10:00.360 the water? 02:10:01.599 --> 02:10:04.456 Through you may um 02:10:04.480 --> 02:10:07.480 it's known it's known that this site 02:10:07.760 --> 02:10:10.296 when it was developed um that used 02:10:10.320 --> 02:10:13.175 imported soil and that imported soil was 02:10:13.199 --> 02:10:15.655 contaminated. It's also known that there 02:10:15.679 --> 02:10:17.976 is contamination in the basin of the 02:10:18.000 --> 02:10:21.000 marina. 02:10:21.119 --> 02:10:23.976 and that's contaminated partly through 02:10:24.000 --> 02:10:27.000 land uses uses over time. The 02:10:28.960 --> 02:10:31.496 in going to the market, we're expecting 02:10:31.520 --> 02:10:34.215 um interest from professional developers 02:10:34.239 --> 02:10:37.239 and operators of marinas. 02:10:37.920 --> 02:10:40.856 It's it's within what they usually do to 02:10:40.880 --> 02:10:43.095 deal with with development including 02:10:43.119 --> 02:10:45.976 contaminated soil, including um 02:10:46.000 --> 02:10:47.496 contaminated 02:10:47.520 --> 02:10:49.175 u 02:10:49.199 --> 02:10:50.695 basins 02:10:50.719 --> 02:10:52.856 and managing that and dredging that 02:10:52.880 --> 02:10:55.256 is part of what they do in the ordinary 02:10:55.280 --> 02:10:58.280 course of of their business. 02:10:58.400 --> 02:11:00.856 So whilst it's a concern, whilst it's 02:11:00.880 --> 02:11:03.095 a challenge for the site, it's 02:11:03.119 --> 02:11:04.296 something that certainly needs to be 02:11:04.320 --> 02:11:06.695 managed. we're making people aware of 02:11:06.719 --> 02:11:09.719 it. U it's a historical issue. Um it's 02:11:10.560 --> 02:11:13.336 not something that we're seeing is an an 02:11:13.360 --> 02:11:15.336 obstacle that can't be can't be dealt 02:11:15.360 --> 02:11:17.336 with. 02:11:17.360 --> 02:11:19.816 Councelor Console, 02:11:19.840 --> 02:11:22.215 thank you. One item I really enjoyed in 02:11:22.239 --> 02:11:24.536 the previous iterations is was the 02:11:24.560 --> 02:11:26.856 bridge. I understand the limitations and 02:11:26.880 --> 02:11:28.856 why it's being proposed to not be there, 02:11:28.880 --> 02:11:31.880 but what it allowed for was that that 02:11:32.000 --> 02:11:35.000 back part along the open water was very 02:11:35.920 --> 02:11:37.416 accessible to the public and it would 02:11:37.440 --> 02:11:39.416 have been increased from what people can 02:11:39.440 --> 02:11:42.055 access. Now I've seen the document that 02:11:42.079 --> 02:11:45.079 it has um a little bit called 02:11:46.320 --> 02:11:49.175 verge/landscape/ 02:11:49.199 --> 02:11:51.095 public circulation seaw wall and 02:11:51.119 --> 02:11:53.896 services in this sliver but it's it's so 02:11:53.920 --> 02:11:56.695 small that it's not really spelled out. 02:11:56.719 --> 02:11:59.416 Is this something that we could um make 02:11:59.440 --> 02:12:02.296 more prominent to suggest that that is 02:12:02.320 --> 02:12:04.055 the intent is that people would still be 02:12:04.079 --> 02:12:06.376 able to access that area because if it's 02:12:06.400 --> 02:12:08.536 not louder, I think that it's going to 02:12:08.560 --> 02:12:10.776 be lost and that's where the public 02:12:10.800 --> 02:12:12.695 expectation 02:12:12.719 --> 02:12:15.416 has been in the previous iteration. 02:12:15.440 --> 02:12:18.440 one part 02:12:19.440 --> 02:12:21.655 through you may there's certainly no 02:12:21.679 --> 02:12:24.296 intention that that public access 02:12:24.320 --> 02:12:27.320 generally is lost. so that to be 02:12:28.480 --> 02:12:31.480 clear um the deletion is around the 02:12:33.280 --> 02:12:36.055 need to consider a bridge over the inlet 02:12:36.079 --> 02:12:38.776 canal. 02:12:38.800 --> 02:12:41.095 the um 02:12:41.119 --> 02:12:43.016 in in in 02:12:43.040 --> 02:12:46.040 terms of making it more clear from 02:12:46.320 --> 02:12:49.320 memory the resolution gives the CEO 02:12:49.840 --> 02:12:52.296 the ability to make changes to the 02:12:52.320 --> 02:12:54.856 site brief in including editorial type 02:12:54.880 --> 02:12:57.016 changes. So if that's something that we 02:12:57.040 --> 02:12:58.536 can deal with as an editorial matter 02:12:58.560 --> 02:13:01.095 perhaps it could be dealt with that way. 02:13:01.119 --> 02:13:02.615 Thank you 02:13:02.639 --> 02:13:04.695 Mayor. Happy I'm happy to have a look 02:13:04.719 --> 02:13:07.719 into that with officers. 02:13:08.239 --> 02:13:09.976 Any council any further questions? 02:13:10.000 --> 02:13:12.936 Councelor Tamar. 02:13:12.960 --> 02:13:15.960 So the two u items that were part of the 02:13:17.679 --> 02:13:19.416 previous 02:13:19.440 --> 02:13:22.440 proposal or that was accepted. There 02:13:22.480 --> 02:13:24.695 were two things that where the 02:13:24.719 --> 02:13:26.695 committee sort of created you know a bit 02:13:26.719 --> 02:13:29.336 of noise around is one private beach and 02:13:29.360 --> 02:13:31.256 secondly helipad. 02:13:31.280 --> 02:13:33.095 02:13:33.119 --> 02:13:36.119 what we are doing you know today if 02:13:36.560 --> 02:13:39.560 we go ahead can the future um tender 02:13:42.159 --> 02:13:44.215 include an helipad and privatize the 02:13:44.239 --> 02:13:47.016 beach like it was going to happen with 02:13:47.040 --> 02:13:50.040 the current operators. 02:13:54.159 --> 02:13:56.936 through you may there's 02:13:56.960 --> 02:13:59.736 there's nothing in the site brief 02:13:59.760 --> 02:14:01.976 that calls for either of those two 02:14:02.000 --> 02:14:05.000 things. The side brief is remains the 02:14:06.880 --> 02:14:09.496 fundamental document a fundamental 02:14:09.520 --> 02:14:12.520 document for the um the tender and the 02:14:13.040 --> 02:14:15.336 evaluation process. 02:14:15.360 --> 02:14:17.175 So 02:14:17.199 --> 02:14:19.976 a a core thing without going into the 02:14:20.000 --> 02:14:22.615 details of an evaluation plan, the core 02:14:22.639 --> 02:14:25.639 thing that will be considered in 02:14:27.520 --> 02:14:30.520 evaluating any bids is how they advance 02:14:31.280 --> 02:14:34.280 and reconcile with the site brief. 02:14:37.760 --> 02:14:39.575 Any further questions? Councelor 02:14:39.599 --> 02:14:41.575 Halliday. 02:14:41.599 --> 02:14:43.095 thank you, Mayor. There's been a 02:14:43.119 --> 02:14:46.119 little bit of um commentary a little bit 02:14:46.639 --> 02:14:49.639 about that this is a a rerun of the 02:14:50.560 --> 02:14:53.560 previous um the previous tender process 02:14:54.079 --> 02:14:56.615 and obviously we've seen some changes 02:14:56.639 --> 02:14:59.575 here but can you please explain how the 02:14:59.599 --> 02:15:02.599 approach to the market and the the the 02:15:02.719 --> 02:15:04.695 options that we're offering the market 02:15:04.719 --> 02:15:07.175 are different than what we offered them 02:15:07.199 --> 02:15:10.199 in the previous you know kind of um 02:15:10.400 --> 02:15:13.400 tender process. 02:15:15.360 --> 02:15:18.215 through you may. 02:15:18.239 --> 02:15:21.016 So the intention is to go to the 02:15:21.040 --> 02:15:23.575 market in two key stages. Firstly, the 02:15:23.599 --> 02:15:26.456 request for information followed by 02:15:26.480 --> 02:15:29.175 the request for tender. Before we even 02:15:29.199 --> 02:15:31.896 get to that, we will be alerting the 02:15:31.920 --> 02:15:34.296 world of this opportunity that and that 02:15:34.320 --> 02:15:37.175 we are intending to commence this 02:15:37.199 --> 02:15:40.199 public competitive market process. 02:15:45.840 --> 02:15:48.840 What we're the site brief has a 02:15:50.480 --> 02:15:53.016 vision, has objectives, has some 02:15:53.040 --> 02:15:56.040 parameters, criteria for the development 02:15:57.440 --> 02:16:00.440 that that document remains core to 02:16:01.119 --> 02:16:03.256 that whole process. 02:16:03.280 --> 02:16:05.896 it anticipates 02:16:05.920 --> 02:16:08.920 and and as council has clearly signaled 02:16:09.599 --> 02:16:11.816 for instance through its council plan, 02:16:11.840 --> 02:16:13.816 it intends to go to the market. It 02:16:13.840 --> 02:16:16.615 intends to secure a long-term lease. 02:16:16.639 --> 02:16:19.416 Nothing changes there. What we're 02:16:19.440 --> 02:16:21.896 proposing is that, and we flagged this 02:16:21.920 --> 02:16:24.920 in this site brief version 1.1, this 02:16:26.159 --> 02:16:28.776 rec-calibrated site brief 02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:31.800 that um that's our clear intention that 02:16:32.800 --> 02:16:35.800 remains. we are seeking long-term a 02:16:36.639 --> 02:16:39.639 long-term tenant. 02:16:39.840 --> 02:16:41.415 And here's the here's the important 02:16:41.439 --> 02:16:43.415 change. 02:16:43.439 --> 02:16:46.439 or the important addition to either 02:16:46.479 --> 02:16:48.776 develop the site according to the site 02:16:48.800 --> 02:16:50.695 brief. 02:16:50.719 --> 02:16:52.216 So realize the site brief through 02:16:52.240 --> 02:16:55.240 development or alternatively 02:16:56.080 --> 02:16:59.080 and and this is triggered if we don't 02:16:59.359 --> 02:17:02.359 receive bids that are evaluated as being 02:17:04.080 --> 02:17:05.575 sufficiently 02:17:05.599 --> 02:17:08.599 of a standard sufficiently acceptable in 02:17:08.800 --> 02:17:11.800 achieving the site brief. Then we're 02:17:12.399 --> 02:17:15.399 also evaluating bids that are not for 02:17:16.880 --> 02:17:19.415 development or not purely development. 02:17:19.439 --> 02:17:21.655 They're they're based on operating. So 02:17:21.679 --> 02:17:24.216 it's an operating lease. 02:17:24.240 --> 02:17:27.176 With operating um the site would still 02:17:27.200 --> 02:17:30.056 come obligations to observe for instance 02:17:30.080 --> 02:17:33.080 an asset management plan. And that way 02:17:33.519 --> 02:17:36.519 in the longer term the site um the 02:17:36.639 --> 02:17:39.016 objectives and vision of the site brief 02:17:39.040 --> 02:17:41.176 have got potential to be realized. 02:17:41.200 --> 02:17:44.200 Yes, it'll take a a longer time um but 02:17:45.920 --> 02:17:47.655 we're still advancing the site brief in 02:17:47.679 --> 02:17:49.896 that way through operation but the 02:17:49.920 --> 02:17:52.695 intention is to be very clear that the 02:17:52.719 --> 02:17:54.615 intent of City of Port Phillip and the 02:17:54.639 --> 02:17:56.136 strong preference of City of Port 02:17:56.160 --> 02:17:58.936 Phillip is to obtain is to secure a 02:17:58.960 --> 02:18:01.960 development lease. However, there's 02:18:02.319 --> 02:18:04.535 this alternative option too. So people, 02:18:04.559 --> 02:18:07.559 we do also welcome um serious 02:18:08.479 --> 02:18:11.479 operating lease proposals. 02:18:12.880 --> 02:18:14.375 Brian T, you wish to 02:18:14.399 --> 02:18:17.399 just to um 02:18:17.519 --> 02:18:20.519 add three in there that Anony's 02:18:21.519 --> 02:18:24.375 already identified the um international 02:18:24.399 --> 02:18:27.399 search component. the 02:18:28.319 --> 02:18:30.856 significant additional information 02:18:30.880 --> 02:18:33.495 available to the market that will derisk 02:18:33.519 --> 02:18:36.216 the market so they can have a a clearer 02:18:36.240 --> 02:18:38.455 sense of what the risks are and how to 02:18:38.479 --> 02:18:41.415 accommodate those in any proposals. But 02:18:41.439 --> 02:18:43.575 the third element is around the 02:18:43.599 --> 02:18:45.415 descoping of some of the requirements 02:18:45.439 --> 02:18:48.439 that were in the former proposal. Um 02:18:48.639 --> 02:18:51.639 those go to the requirement to consider 02:18:52.080 --> 02:18:54.856 the bridge which has been identified. 02:18:54.880 --> 02:18:57.880 the requirement to build 100 venue 02:18:58.800 --> 02:19:00.695 and the requirement to consider the 02:19:00.719 --> 02:19:03.719 removal of the petrol station. Those 02:19:04.399 --> 02:19:06.455 proposed elements in the recommendation 02:19:06.479 --> 02:19:09.256 will make um the proposal more 02:19:09.280 --> 02:19:12.280 attractive. we anticipate to the market. 02:19:15.359 --> 02:19:18.359 Any further questions? 02:19:20.160 --> 02:19:23.160 Well done. so if there's no further 02:19:23.599 --> 02:19:25.976 questions, is there a mover that is 02:19:26.000 --> 02:19:28.136 moved councelor or move the 02:19:28.160 --> 02:19:29.495 recommendation or something different? 02:19:29.519 --> 02:19:32.136 I just want to move a slightly amended 02:19:32.160 --> 02:19:34.375 recommendation 02:19:34.399 --> 02:19:37.399 if um that can be put on screen. 02:19:47.359 --> 02:19:50.359 And then you'll need to read your 02:19:51.280 --> 02:19:53.335 additions, council to man, all your 02:19:53.359 --> 02:19:54.136 modifications. 02:19:54.160 --> 02:19:55.976 Can I move? Can I actually go closer to 02:19:56.000 --> 02:19:57.415 the screen? I can't see it properly. 02:19:57.439 --> 02:20:00.439 You certainly can. 02:20:04.240 --> 02:20:07.176 You can. Councelor Halliday is kindly 02:20:07.200 --> 02:20:09.335 letting you borrow his microphone. 02:20:09.359 --> 02:20:10.936 That's right. So I would like to add an 02:20:10.960 --> 02:20:13.656 item 3.4. Note the market process 02:20:13.680 --> 02:20:15.576 intended proceed through market seating, 02:20:15.600 --> 02:20:17.256 a request for information and a request 02:20:17.280 --> 02:20:19.415 for tender and then the next council 02:20:19.439 --> 02:20:20.856 briefing will occur following the 02:20:20.880 --> 02:20:23.016 request for information stage unless an 02:20:23.040 --> 02:20:26.040 earlier briefing is required. 02:20:26.319 --> 02:20:29.319 Great. that therefore has your 02:20:30.960 --> 02:20:33.496 wishing to move that councelor Thomann. 02:20:33.520 --> 02:20:36.520 Yes. Is there a seconder? 02:20:38.560 --> 02:20:40.536 Um seconded councelor Crawford. Thank 02:20:40.560 --> 02:20:43.560 you. Does the mover wish to speak? 02:20:45.280 --> 02:20:48.280 Yes, obviously we we do have a marina. 02:20:49.120 --> 02:20:50.536 Whatever we've got to do, there is a 02:20:50.560 --> 02:20:52.216 marina there and we have to make sure 02:20:52.240 --> 02:20:55.240 that it is managed properly. Um so I we 02:20:57.760 --> 02:21:00.455 have gone through 02:21:00.479 --> 02:21:03.256 seven briefings in the last year or 02:21:03.280 --> 02:21:06.280 something. and so I think there's 02:21:07.439 --> 02:21:10.439 a lot of thoughts and has gone through 02:21:10.640 --> 02:21:13.640 this new um tender this new tender 02:21:14.319 --> 02:21:16.455 whatever you want to call it. thought 02:21:16.479 --> 02:21:18.696 thank the officers for the the work 02:21:18.720 --> 02:21:21.096 they've done especially Anthony putting 02:21:21.120 --> 02:21:23.896 a a sort of a new eye to the proposal 02:21:23.920 --> 02:21:26.856 with someone you know who is you know 02:21:26.880 --> 02:21:28.936 sort of more a real estate person than 02:21:28.960 --> 02:21:30.696 just 02:21:30.720 --> 02:21:33.176 um you know just a 02:21:33.200 --> 02:21:34.856 you know someone with a yeah a real 02:21:34.880 --> 02:21:37.880 estate eye. So um 02:21:38.880 --> 02:21:41.335 I hope it is successful but the reason I 02:21:41.359 --> 02:21:43.976 have put that in is that if through the 02:21:44.000 --> 02:21:45.816 process 02:21:45.840 --> 02:21:48.840 there's a problem um I would like 02:21:49.120 --> 02:21:50.776 council to look potentially at other 02:21:50.800 --> 02:21:53.800 options but I do hope that with all 02:21:55.600 --> 02:21:58.600 the work and the international search we 02:21:59.200 --> 02:22:02.200 will find um interest of the market. 02:22:02.880 --> 02:22:05.880 Obviously, it is a great asset. It is 02:22:07.280 --> 02:22:10.280 well patronized. It's full. It's got a 02:22:10.560 --> 02:22:12.295 petrol station. It's the only petrol 02:22:12.319 --> 02:22:15.319 station on 11 kilometers on on the 02:22:15.359 --> 02:22:18.359 foreshore. It's got a very successful 02:22:19.359 --> 02:22:22.216 place with over summer with lots of 02:22:22.240 --> 02:22:25.240 events. Um, so it is, you know, I don't 02:22:25.280 --> 02:22:27.096 want to turn it to the centrope or 02:22:27.120 --> 02:22:30.120 something like that. But, um, why not if 02:22:30.479 --> 02:22:33.256 if the right operator comes along. Um, 02:22:33.280 --> 02:22:36.280 so I wish you well and I keep my fingers 02:22:37.680 --> 02:22:40.056 crossed. I'm an optimist. You know, it's 02:22:40.080 --> 02:22:41.656 not because it's failed the last time 02:22:41.680 --> 02:22:43.896 that it's going to fail this time. So 02:22:43.920 --> 02:22:46.136 with the work that has done in and has 02:22:46.160 --> 02:22:49.160 gone in and with a lot more details into 02:22:49.680 --> 02:22:52.680 the into the proposal I hope that we 02:22:53.359 --> 02:22:55.736 will attract interest and then 02:22:55.760 --> 02:22:57.896 eventually at the end of this current 02:22:57.920 --> 02:23:00.696 lease which is 28 hopefully we can find 02:23:00.720 --> 02:23:03.720 an operator that will make this place 02:23:05.200 --> 02:23:08.200 sorry to say great again. 02:23:09.520 --> 02:23:11.736 Thank you. Movered the mover 02:23:11.760 --> 02:23:13.256 councelor Thomann seconder. Do you wish 02:23:13.280 --> 02:23:15.335 to speak? Councelor Crawford 02:23:15.359 --> 02:23:17.656 don't know if great is a word I have 02:23:17.680 --> 02:23:19.576 ever used to describe the marina 02:23:19.600 --> 02:23:21.816 functional and useful yes but maybe not 02:23:21.840 --> 02:23:23.976 great. Um, look, I think when we 02:23:24.000 --> 02:23:26.375 originally did this site brief, um, and 02:23:26.399 --> 02:23:28.056 I have the benefit of being here this 02:23:28.080 --> 02:23:30.375 whole time, it was a very different time 02:23:30.399 --> 02:23:32.056 economically, 02:23:32.080 --> 02:23:34.375 um, just in the world at large. What was 02:23:34.399 --> 02:23:36.375 a priority? And I know that the 02:23:36.399 --> 02:23:38.136 community and the council group, we 02:23:38.160 --> 02:23:40.616 dreamed big, 02:23:40.640 --> 02:23:42.696 although I never dreamed big around a 02:23:42.720 --> 02:23:44.696 bridge. And I'm really glad that it's 02:23:44.720 --> 02:23:45.896 being removed. I think I was the only 02:23:45.920 --> 02:23:48.536 one vote against it. But I do think we 02:23:48.560 --> 02:23:51.560 need to reassess and look at how do we 02:23:52.399 --> 02:23:54.696 maintain a functioning marina but also 02:23:54.720 --> 02:23:57.335 then get some benefits for our community 02:23:57.359 --> 02:23:58.856 and it does need to be a little 02:23:58.880 --> 02:24:00.455 different from where we started given 02:24:00.479 --> 02:24:03.479 that so much time has passed and and 02:24:03.760 --> 02:24:06.216 so much has changed. Um I think this 02:24:06.240 --> 02:24:08.616 site brief does take um addresses some 02:24:08.640 --> 02:24:11.496 of the kind of as I said the bridge was 02:24:11.520 --> 02:24:13.656 never feasible. No one ever wanted it 02:24:13.680 --> 02:24:16.455 other than council laws. and they 02:24:16.479 --> 02:24:18.776 told us at the time it wasn't possible 02:24:18.800 --> 02:24:21.415 doable and would council would have 02:24:21.439 --> 02:24:22.696 to pay for it themselves if they ever 02:24:22.720 --> 02:24:24.216 want to and actually removed a lot of 02:24:24.240 --> 02:24:27.240 public space but the council at the time 02:24:28.479 --> 02:24:30.455 supported it. So I think removing it 02:24:30.479 --> 02:24:31.976 just moves something that just gets in 02:24:32.000 --> 02:24:34.056 the way of finding a good p a good 02:24:34.080 --> 02:24:36.696 group to take over and and hopefully 02:24:36.720 --> 02:24:39.720 revitalize the um marina in cards to 02:24:40.800 --> 02:24:42.776 the the space for the coast guards. We 02:24:42.800 --> 02:24:44.375 do want to work closely with you. it 02:24:44.399 --> 02:24:45.816 might just be a little bit different to 02:24:45.840 --> 02:24:48.295 what we originally envvisaged. Um I 02:24:48.319 --> 02:24:50.056 think one of the things that that has 02:24:50.080 --> 02:24:51.896 come to light over the last few years is 02:24:51.920 --> 02:24:54.056 multi-purpose spaces like no one group 02:24:54.080 --> 02:24:55.736 can have one thing and it might be just 02:24:55.760 --> 02:24:58.536 being smarter with how we um plan and 02:24:58.560 --> 02:25:01.335 you know those kind of spaces but um I 02:25:01.359 --> 02:25:03.096 think there's room to move on that it is 02:25:03.120 --> 02:25:05.176 about possibly you know reimagining 02:25:05.200 --> 02:25:07.335 exactly what it looked like back when it 02:25:07.359 --> 02:25:09.496 was 10 years or 8 years ago. So I'm 02:25:09.520 --> 02:25:11.016 happy to support this site brief. I 02:25:11.040 --> 02:25:12.295 think it's more practical. I think 02:25:12.319 --> 02:25:15.319 keeping the petrol station there for the 02:25:15.600 --> 02:25:18.375 um for the tenants to take on to 02:25:18.399 --> 02:25:21.256 allow that you know that reimagining 02:25:21.280 --> 02:25:23.576 growth and obviously the sustainability 02:25:23.600 --> 02:25:26.136 of the um of the marina in the current 02:25:26.160 --> 02:25:28.295 situation is the right thing to do. 02:25:28.319 --> 02:25:30.056 Thank you councelor Crawford. Any other 02:25:30.080 --> 02:25:33.080 councilors wish to speak? 02:25:34.160 --> 02:25:37.160 Councelor Halliday. 02:25:38.160 --> 02:25:39.816 Um, 02:25:39.840 --> 02:25:42.840 this project vexes me. Um, as usual, 02:25:45.520 --> 02:25:48.520 and I I'm not sure which way I'll go on 02:25:49.200 --> 02:25:52.200 this tonight. I think that it is it is a 02:25:53.120 --> 02:25:55.096 a piece of infrastructure that has been 02:25:55.120 --> 02:25:58.120 part of um, Silda for some time. Um, but 02:25:59.120 --> 02:26:01.816 also it for us right now is a huge risk 02:26:01.840 --> 02:26:04.840 and a huge liability for us. and even 02:26:05.359 --> 02:26:08.359 if the site brief is realized um sorry 02:26:09.200 --> 02:26:12.200 for pointing at you Anthony but even if 02:26:12.319 --> 02:26:15.319 the site risk is brief is realized um 02:26:17.120 --> 02:26:19.656 we'll be putting massive um 02:26:19.680 --> 02:26:22.375 infrastructure on our foreshore that 02:26:22.399 --> 02:26:24.216 once people see it I think they will be 02:26:24.240 --> 02:26:27.240 very um upset about it. Um, and this is 02:26:27.840 --> 02:26:30.375 in a world that is changed from where it 02:26:30.399 --> 02:26:32.616 was last time we went out to the market 02:26:32.640 --> 02:26:34.455 and where it was when we first built 02:26:34.479 --> 02:26:37.479 this. Um, so I am skeptical um that 02:26:39.040 --> 02:26:42.040 someone will, you know, arrive um and 02:26:43.200 --> 02:26:46.200 decide to put what could be hundreds of 02:26:46.640 --> 02:26:48.616 millions of dollars into this particular 02:26:48.640 --> 02:26:51.640 site. Um, and I think my 02:26:52.720 --> 02:26:55.720 personal feeling here is that the city, 02:26:56.640 --> 02:26:58.455 the residents of the city of Port 02:26:58.479 --> 02:27:01.479 Phillip should not be on the hook to pay 02:27:01.760 --> 02:27:04.616 for effectively the private benefit of a 02:27:04.640 --> 02:27:07.640 small number of people um who who have 02:27:08.080 --> 02:27:11.080 the opportunity to use a marina. Um, so 02:27:12.399 --> 02:27:13.816 I'll have a think about how I'm going to 02:27:13.840 --> 02:27:16.840 vote um and see where it goes. But as I 02:27:18.960 --> 02:27:21.960 say, I um I'm skeptical. 02:27:22.399 --> 02:27:24.536 Council consol wish to speak. 02:27:24.560 --> 02:27:25.976 I think it's a great asset. It's so 02:27:26.000 --> 02:27:27.256 great just the activation of our 02:27:27.280 --> 02:27:28.856 foreshore. It's not like these have big 02:27:28.880 --> 02:27:30.776 solid walls and no one can see what's 02:27:30.800 --> 02:27:32.455 going on behind it. Like looking at the 02:27:32.479 --> 02:27:34.295 boats, it's really picturesque. It's 02:27:34.319 --> 02:27:36.056 nice. However, it can be done better. 02:27:36.080 --> 02:27:37.816 And I think that through this process, 02:27:37.840 --> 02:27:39.736 the previous process, we've identified 02:27:39.760 --> 02:27:41.816 that this land, all this area can be 02:27:41.840 --> 02:27:43.896 done much, much better. And I'm 02:27:43.920 --> 02:27:45.896 passionate about being more accessible 02:27:45.920 --> 02:27:48.455 to the community through the initiatives 02:27:48.479 --> 02:27:50.856 of um the space and the increasing open 02:27:50.880 --> 02:27:53.880 space and how Reva has been having so 02:27:54.319 --> 02:27:55.896 many concerts there lately. It's cool. 02:27:55.920 --> 02:27:57.335 It's so great that we have this on our 02:27:57.359 --> 02:28:00.359 for getting tired. It's really run down. 02:28:00.479 --> 02:28:01.896 There's a lot that needs to be fixed and 02:28:01.920 --> 02:28:03.415 of course it has to come with the 02:28:03.439 --> 02:28:06.216 investment that also has a commercial 02:28:06.240 --> 02:28:09.096 arm to pay for it. So, I think state 02:28:09.120 --> 02:28:10.375 council officers have done a really good 02:28:10.399 --> 02:28:12.936 job trying to find the balance here and 02:28:12.960 --> 02:28:15.656 um I I support I'm supportive of what is 02:28:15.680 --> 02:28:18.455 being considered to be removed as 02:28:18.479 --> 02:28:21.176 some are nice to have or not practical 02:28:21.200 --> 02:28:24.200 um and the petrol station we still need. 02:28:24.240 --> 02:28:25.816 So, 02:28:25.840 --> 02:28:27.656 thank you. 02:28:27.680 --> 02:28:29.335 Thank you, Council Consol. Any other 02:28:29.359 --> 02:28:32.056 councilors wish to speak? Yes, Deputy 02:28:32.080 --> 02:28:35.080 May. 02:28:35.840 --> 02:28:38.840 Thank you. I'd like to endorse 02:28:39.760 --> 02:28:42.295 Councelor Consol's comments. my 02:28:42.319 --> 02:28:44.216 comments are similar. I think it's a 02:28:44.240 --> 02:28:47.096 great asset that needs to be 02:28:47.120 --> 02:28:50.120 refreshed. Um, a new opportunity for the 02:28:50.720 --> 02:28:53.720 entrepreneurs out there to add to a 02:28:54.720 --> 02:28:57.720 vibrant area of St Kilda. Um, yes, 02:28:58.160 --> 02:28:59.576 people have got boats, but they've 02:28:59.600 --> 02:29:02.056 always had boats and boats go with 02:29:02.080 --> 02:29:05.016 water, funnily enough. So, it's a good 02:29:05.040 --> 02:29:07.816 thing to do. I believe it would it 02:29:07.840 --> 02:29:10.616 has the potential of being a great asset 02:29:10.640 --> 02:29:13.640 and improving um yet further that area 02:29:15.600 --> 02:29:18.600 of the foreshore. So I certainly 02:29:18.640 --> 02:29:20.936 endorse it. I I think it's a great idea. 02:29:20.960 --> 02:29:23.960 We need to perhaps dream big and see 02:29:25.120 --> 02:29:27.736 what we can do. Finally, I've got every 02:29:27.760 --> 02:29:29.576 confidence that our council officers 02:29:29.600 --> 02:29:32.136 will with the systems they're putting in 02:29:32.160 --> 02:29:34.616 place and the procedures get the very 02:29:34.640 --> 02:29:37.016 best outcome for us for the city of Port 02:29:37.040 --> 02:29:40.040 Phillips. So, well done. 02:29:40.960 --> 02:29:42.856 Any other councilors wish to speak? 02:29:42.880 --> 02:29:44.776 Thank you, Deputy Mayor Mes. Any other 02:29:44.800 --> 02:29:47.800 councilors wish to speak to the motion? 02:29:51.120 --> 02:29:53.016 Now other counselors have indicated a 02:29:53.040 --> 02:29:55.176 desire to speak in which case we revert 02:29:55.200 --> 02:29:58.200 to the mover who may wish to close. 02:29:58.479 --> 02:30:00.696 To respond to councelor Halliday's 02:30:00.720 --> 02:30:03.720 thing you know when in my previous 02:30:03.760 --> 02:30:05.736 incarnation at council we built a skate 02:30:05.760 --> 02:30:08.295 park people were objecting to it 02:30:08.319 --> 02:30:10.696 because it had no coastal use. So in 02:30:10.720 --> 02:30:12.616 this case a marina obviously is an 02:30:12.640 --> 02:30:15.640 obvious coastal use and um you know it 02:30:16.080 --> 02:30:17.656 it's 02:30:17.680 --> 02:30:19.736 I think we have to give the best shot 02:30:19.760 --> 02:30:22.216 and and you know it is a marina it is a 02:30:22.240 --> 02:30:24.776 working marina it just is a bit tired 02:30:24.800 --> 02:30:26.616 and hopefully 02:30:26.640 --> 02:30:29.640 like you know we can find someone 02:30:30.319 --> 02:30:32.856 who can give it the face lift that's 02:30:32.880 --> 02:30:35.880 needed so I and I also would like to 02:30:36.399 --> 02:30:39.399 thank the coast guards who are there 02:30:39.840 --> 02:30:42.616 making, you know, a great job um through 02:30:42.640 --> 02:30:45.335 the year and especially with the new jet 02:30:45.359 --> 02:30:47.816 ski rules gives you something else to 02:30:47.840 --> 02:30:50.455 do. Um and hopefully something that 02:30:50.479 --> 02:30:53.479 you you wanted as well. So I hope you 02:30:55.120 --> 02:30:58.056 know as I said we we got a marina. Um 02:30:58.080 --> 02:31:01.080 let's try to do our best to make it 02:31:01.600 --> 02:31:03.415 work. 02:31:03.439 --> 02:31:05.976 The mover has closed the debate and that 02:31:06.000 --> 02:31:08.295 motion is now being put. A show of hands 02:31:08.319 --> 02:31:09.656 to indicate support for the 02:31:09.680 --> 02:31:12.455 recommendation put forward. That is 02:31:12.479 --> 02:31:15.096 councelor Timman, councelor Jay, 02:31:15.120 --> 02:31:16.776 councelor Buckingham, councelor 02:31:16.800 --> 02:31:19.176 Crawford, councelor Consalo, Deputy 02:31:19.200 --> 02:31:21.576 Mayor Mes, and myself, Mayor Mak. All 02:31:21.600 --> 02:31:23.576 those against 02:31:23.600 --> 02:31:25.016 councelor Hardy and councelor 02:31:25.040 --> 02:31:28.040 Halliday. That motion is carried. 72. 02:31:40.479 --> 02:31:43.479 item 10.2. Thank you, Ethan for 02:31:44.080 --> 02:31:46.696 answering those questions as well. 02:31:46.720 --> 02:31:49.496 10.2 is our public space strategy annual 02:31:49.520 --> 02:31:52.520 update. Are there any questions for this 02:31:52.560 --> 02:31:55.496 item? Item 10.2. 02:31:55.520 --> 02:31:58.520 Thank you. 10.2. Item 10.2. Any 02:31:59.200 --> 02:32:02.200 questions? 02:32:06.080 --> 02:32:07.496 Yeah. Oh, sorry. Council Heliday, I 02:32:07.520 --> 02:32:09.976 thought you were pointing to the screen. 02:32:10.000 --> 02:32:11.335 Councelor Halliday. Yes. 02:32:11.359 --> 02:32:13.335 Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Um, just 02:32:13.359 --> 02:32:16.136 wondering here, um, 02:32:16.160 --> 02:32:19.160 I think that, um, Elma Ward has been an 02:32:20.000 --> 02:32:21.736 early beneficiary of the implementation 02:32:21.760 --> 02:32:23.976 of the public space strategy. and I 02:32:24.000 --> 02:32:26.216 think that's tremendous. One of the 02:32:26.240 --> 02:32:29.240 other areas that, um, was identified 02:32:29.439 --> 02:32:32.375 in the early work, the technical work 02:32:32.399 --> 02:32:34.455 that underpins this strategy was 02:32:34.479 --> 02:32:37.016 Lakeside Ward. that area along St Kilda 02:32:37.040 --> 02:32:39.176 Road. Um, and I see here that we have 02:32:39.200 --> 02:32:42.200 the Lakeside Place Plan here um, coming 02:32:43.600 --> 02:32:45.976 into the strategy. I'm just 02:32:46.000 --> 02:32:49.000 wondering what sort of time frame can we 02:32:49.040 --> 02:32:51.576 expect for the development of this 02:32:51.600 --> 02:32:54.600 Lakeside Place plan and maybe what um, 02:32:55.359 --> 02:32:58.359 you know, what what time frame could we 02:32:58.560 --> 02:33:00.455 see for the development of the plan and 02:33:00.479 --> 02:33:03.479 then for potential actions out of it? 02:33:05.359 --> 02:33:07.176 Yep. CEO 02:33:07.200 --> 02:33:09.736 through you, Mayor. Can I clarify 02:33:09.760 --> 02:33:12.760 um this is about the precinct plan for 02:33:13.200 --> 02:33:15.016 the urban forest strategy for Lakeside 02:33:15.040 --> 02:33:16.536 because we're also doing some work 02:33:16.560 --> 02:33:16.856 around 02:33:16.880 --> 02:33:18.776 a 02:33:18.800 --> 02:33:20.375 space, right? 02:33:20.399 --> 02:33:23.399 Yes. Okay. Yep. Sorry. 02:33:24.560 --> 02:33:26.536 Yes. So, I might be able to answer that 02:33:26.560 --> 02:33:28.616 unless the team 02:33:28.640 --> 02:33:30.696 you've got it. Yeah. Great. 02:33:30.720 --> 02:33:32.776 Through you, Mayor. So the time frames 02:33:32.800 --> 02:33:35.016 are currently being confirmed through 02:33:35.040 --> 02:33:38.040 the project business case. Um so it is 02:33:38.880 --> 02:33:41.880 likely that councilors will see a draft 02:33:43.040 --> 02:33:45.016 lakeside place plan later this year 02:33:45.040 --> 02:33:48.040 around October. 02:33:49.760 --> 02:33:52.136 Any further questions for the public 02:33:52.160 --> 02:33:54.936 space strategy annual update? 02:33:54.960 --> 02:33:57.960 Going once, going twice. 02:33:58.080 --> 02:34:01.080 Councelor Timman. 02:34:02.080 --> 02:34:05.080 So my question is um obviously the 02:34:07.040 --> 02:34:10.040 Blessington Street between the 02:34:10.399 --> 02:34:12.696 peanut farm and whatever the name of the 02:34:12.720 --> 02:34:15.720 other reserve is um I support that 02:34:16.880 --> 02:34:18.936 the road stays the road and I think you 02:34:18.960 --> 02:34:20.936 know it's obviously too green it would 02:34:20.960 --> 02:34:22.375 cost a lot of money and I'm sure that 02:34:22.399 --> 02:34:24.056 money could be used elsewhere. So, have 02:34:24.080 --> 02:34:27.080 we consulted with um the sports 02:34:28.720 --> 02:34:31.096 people and everybody else to make sure 02:34:31.120 --> 02:34:33.415 they're happy with the decision that we 02:34:33.439 --> 02:34:36.439 are making tonight? 02:34:36.640 --> 02:34:38.616 Through you, Mayor. No, we haven't done 02:34:38.640 --> 02:34:41.496 any consultation on the proposal to 02:34:41.520 --> 02:34:43.415 remove the action from the strategy that 02:34:43.439 --> 02:34:45.016 has come from council offic's 02:34:45.040 --> 02:34:48.040 recommendation only. 02:34:50.640 --> 02:34:53.640 Can I maybe can I actually say u that 02:34:57.520 --> 02:34:59.415 the clubs are very happy that we make 02:34:59.439 --> 02:35:01.415 that decision. So I thought 02:35:01.439 --> 02:35:02.616 this going to be a question. 02:35:02.640 --> 02:35:05.256 No my question you know obviously my 02:35:05.280 --> 02:35:07.096 question is obviously not aware that the 02:35:07.120 --> 02:35:08.455 clubs are very happy with the decision 02:35:08.479 --> 02:35:10.216 but I would have you know it would have 02:35:10.240 --> 02:35:12.536 been nice for the question to be asked. 02:35:12.560 --> 02:35:15.335 They are very concerned. Um, so my 02:35:15.359 --> 02:35:17.736 question is, my question is, will the 02:35:17.760 --> 02:35:19.496 club be informed of the decision we're 02:35:19.520 --> 02:35:21.335 making tonight? Even if it's after we 02:35:21.359 --> 02:35:24.295 make the decision 02:35:24.319 --> 02:35:25.976 through you, Mayor, yes, council 02:35:26.000 --> 02:35:28.216 officers can inform the Peanut Farm 02:35:28.240 --> 02:35:30.295 Reserve Sports Clubs of the decision if 02:35:30.319 --> 02:35:33.319 that's what councilors make tonight. 02:35:34.640 --> 02:35:37.640 Any further questions? 02:35:40.319 --> 02:35:42.936 In which case there is a recommendation 02:35:42.960 --> 02:35:45.576 before us. Moved. Councelor Halliday. 02:35:45.600 --> 02:35:48.600 Seconded. Councelor Buckingham. 02:35:48.800 --> 02:35:51.800 Does the mover wish to speak? 02:35:52.240 --> 02:35:53.736 I did have my hand up. 02:35:53.760 --> 02:35:55.096 Oh, sorry. 02:35:55.120 --> 02:35:57.096 sorry, Deputy Mayor. Was that a 02:35:57.120 --> 02:35:59.016 question or to 02:35:59.040 --> 02:36:01.176 I was wanting to ask a question? 02:36:01.200 --> 02:36:01.736 Yeah, sure. 02:36:01.760 --> 02:36:02.856 Mayor Mon. 02:36:02.880 --> 02:36:05.880 Yep. Yes, please. Well, without 02:36:06.160 --> 02:36:09.160 prolonging it, but I understand the 02:36:10.000 --> 02:36:13.000 strategy plan details a period of 2022 02:36:14.080 --> 02:36:17.080 to 2032 and when then looking further 02:36:17.359 --> 02:36:19.896 into the lakeside place plan, which I 02:36:19.920 --> 02:36:21.816 understand will be developed now in 02:36:21.840 --> 02:36:23.335 October 02:36:23.359 --> 02:36:26.359 up from September this year. Um will 02:36:27.760 --> 02:36:30.536 this place plan have a termination date 02:36:30.560 --> 02:36:33.560 of 32 2032 or is it possible that it 02:36:34.560 --> 02:36:37.560 will be earlier than that time 02:36:42.160 --> 02:36:44.856 through you may um the public space 02:36:44.880 --> 02:36:46.295 strategy sets up a whole lot of 02:36:46.319 --> 02:36:48.776 different policies and plans um and 02:36:48.800 --> 02:36:51.415 those policies and plans have um their 02:36:51.439 --> 02:36:53.896 own timelines. they don't necessarily 02:36:53.920 --> 02:36:56.856 align to the public space strategy. So 02:36:56.880 --> 02:36:58.936 through the development um councilors 02:36:58.960 --> 02:37:01.960 will be updated on the um action the 02:37:02.160 --> 02:37:04.136 proposed action plan for the lakeside 02:37:04.160 --> 02:37:06.616 place plan 02:37:06.640 --> 02:37:08.056 through you CEO. 02:37:08.080 --> 02:37:10.056 Yeah through 02:37:10.080 --> 02:37:12.375 through you may 02:37:12.399 --> 02:37:14.856 come back and confirm the times on the 02:37:14.880 --> 02:37:16.616 lakeside place plan. I did have a chat 02:37:16.640 --> 02:37:19.176 to the manager who was responsible for 02:37:19.200 --> 02:37:22.200 that um just a couple of days ago and I 02:37:23.040 --> 02:37:24.455 believe that councils will be getting a 02:37:24.479 --> 02:37:26.856 briefing before October. the completion 02:37:26.880 --> 02:37:28.696 might be 02:37:28.720 --> 02:37:31.256 um into October, but my understanding 02:37:31.280 --> 02:37:34.056 is that's probably the that you will get 02:37:34.080 --> 02:37:35.656 a sense of what it's looking like 02:37:35.680 --> 02:37:38.375 earlier than that. Um 02:37:38.399 --> 02:37:39.816 the 17th of June 02:37:39.840 --> 02:37:42.840 17th of June. and there is also while 02:37:43.680 --> 02:37:46.056 that will also frame the timing just to 02:37:46.080 --> 02:37:47.976 reassure there has been a budget 02:37:48.000 --> 02:37:49.496 allocation 02:37:49.520 --> 02:37:52.520 included in the um draft 26 27 budget 02:37:55.120 --> 02:37:57.335 for the out years not for the out years 02:37:57.359 --> 02:37:59.976 but for um the next couple of years I 02:38:00.000 --> 02:38:01.335 think I think it's about three or four 02:38:01.359 --> 02:38:03.736 years for implementation so there's a 02:38:03.760 --> 02:38:06.056 budget allowance there it won't be 02:38:06.080 --> 02:38:08.776 delayed significantly beyond um when the 02:38:08.800 --> 02:38:10.776 plan is finalized we have to get into 02:38:10.800 --> 02:38:12.375 some design and procurement and things 02:38:12.399 --> 02:38:14.696 like that after that. Um, but there is 02:38:14.720 --> 02:38:17.496 an intention once it has been adopted to 02:38:17.520 --> 02:38:19.576 get on with implementation as well and 02:38:19.600 --> 02:38:22.295 there's money for it. 02:38:22.319 --> 02:38:23.096 Thank you. 02:38:23.120 --> 02:38:25.576 Thank you very Thank you. 02:38:25.600 --> 02:38:26.936 Did you have any further questions 02:38:26.960 --> 02:38:29.656 deputy may meas before we move back to 02:38:29.680 --> 02:38:31.896 the debate. 02:38:31.920 --> 02:38:34.295 No, thank you Mayor Megan. Well done. 02:38:34.319 --> 02:38:35.096 Thank you. 02:38:35.120 --> 02:38:37.816 Not a problem. We and we had a seconder. 02:38:37.840 --> 02:38:40.840 So does the mover wish to speak? 02:38:41.520 --> 02:38:43.176 Um 02:38:43.200 --> 02:38:46.200 I forget whether it was six years ago. I 02:38:46.479 --> 02:38:49.479 think the early engagement on the public 02:38:50.080 --> 02:38:53.080 space strategy was my first um deep 02:38:54.080 --> 02:38:56.616 engagement with council um working 02:38:56.640 --> 02:38:59.640 working with Helen. We um proposed a 02:39:00.800 --> 02:39:03.800 whole bunch of projects um that would 02:39:04.319 --> 02:39:07.319 deliver equitable um access to open 02:39:07.439 --> 02:39:10.439 space um in St. Kilder in Bellaclava, 02:39:10.960 --> 02:39:13.016 but also looking at areas like Lakeside 02:39:13.040 --> 02:39:16.040 as well. Um, so 02:39:16.880 --> 02:39:19.176 it's great to see this work progressing 02:39:19.200 --> 02:39:21.576 now on the ground with new spaces and 02:39:21.600 --> 02:39:24.600 I'd also like to extend especially um, 02:39:25.760 --> 02:39:27.736 you know, recognition of the former 02:39:27.760 --> 02:39:30.760 council who actually allocated all the 02:39:30.880 --> 02:39:33.880 budget for the increase in up in open 02:39:34.160 --> 02:39:36.455 space across the the different areas 02:39:36.479 --> 02:39:39.479 whether it's balaclava and kiler um, and 02:39:39.760 --> 02:39:42.616 also into fisherman's ben. So, thank you 02:39:42.640 --> 02:39:45.415 former and serving counselors for 02:39:45.439 --> 02:39:47.896 doing that. this is great work um 02:39:47.920 --> 02:39:50.920 that we all benefit from. So, I'm super 02:39:50.960 --> 02:39:53.960 excited to see this work continue. 02:39:54.319 --> 02:39:55.896 Thank you. The mover has spoken. Just a 02:39:55.920 --> 02:39:57.415 second to wish to speak. Councelor 02:39:57.439 --> 02:39:58.616 Buckingham. 02:39:58.640 --> 02:40:01.640 I'm really happy to be seconding 02:40:01.680 --> 02:40:04.536 the recommendation tonight, the motion 02:40:04.560 --> 02:40:06.375 tonight. I think this work is so 02:40:06.399 --> 02:40:09.016 important. um particularly all of our 02:40:09.040 --> 02:40:10.856 wards, but particularly Balaclava ward 02:40:10.880 --> 02:40:13.576 has a real shortage of um open space and 02:40:13.600 --> 02:40:15.736 it's used for so many different purposes 02:40:15.760 --> 02:40:18.760 and this plan really sets us up for how 02:40:18.960 --> 02:40:21.960 um we can live together and make the 02:40:22.080 --> 02:40:24.455 most of the limited space that we have 02:40:24.479 --> 02:40:26.136 got and I'm particularly excited about 02:40:26.160 --> 02:40:28.776 the ripenly place plan that has um 02:40:28.800 --> 02:40:30.856 actually gone out for consultation right 02:40:30.880 --> 02:40:33.880 now. anyone listening along um you know 02:40:34.560 --> 02:40:36.375 you can jump online and and give us your 02:40:36.399 --> 02:40:38.216 feedback about that plan that we'll see 02:40:38.240 --> 02:40:40.216 an uplift of the Bernard Gay Gardens and 02:40:40.240 --> 02:40:42.295 the surrounding area around the Ripenley 02:40:42.319 --> 02:40:44.616 village um and significant greening 02:40:44.640 --> 02:40:47.640 around that area where the space is so 02:40:47.840 --> 02:40:50.840 limited. Um and I think the the success 02:40:51.280 --> 02:40:54.136 of the plan is borne out in our success 02:40:54.160 --> 02:40:56.776 of the pick my park program that um you 02:40:56.800 --> 02:40:59.335 know the state government looking at 02:40:59.359 --> 02:41:02.359 ways of greening um and creating more 02:41:02.560 --> 02:41:05.560 open space picked so many of our parks 02:41:05.760 --> 02:41:07.976 in our municipality and are investing in 02:41:08.000 --> 02:41:09.415 them. So I think that's just an 02:41:09.439 --> 02:41:12.056 indication that this plan is um worth 02:41:12.080 --> 02:41:13.976 investing in and worth continuing and 02:41:14.000 --> 02:41:16.536 supporting. So I'm very um keen to 02:41:16.560 --> 02:41:18.776 support it tonight. 02:41:18.800 --> 02:41:21.496 Thank you.

Um in 02:43:26.640 --> 02:43:29.640 addition there's also um some targeted 02:43:30.399 --> 02:43:33.176 engagement with groups specifically um 02:43:33.200 --> 02:43:35.656 and the co-design approach from the 02:43:35.680 --> 02:43:37.816 phase one engagement will continue and 02:43:37.840 --> 02:43:39.415 some of those members participate in 02:43:39.439 --> 02:43:42.439 that process with interpreters. 02:43:43.279 --> 02:43:45.896 Any further questions? 02:43:45.920 --> 02:43:48.920 Councelor Jay 02:43:50.560 --> 02:43:53.560 um just wanted to understand 02:43:54.880 --> 02:43:56.136 how do we engage our 02:43:56.160 --> 02:43:59.160 non-English-speaking residents? 02:44:01.040 --> 02:44:02.216 You're going to say you just answered 02:44:02.240 --> 02:44:04.375 that and I wasn't listening. Are you 02:44:04.399 --> 02:44:06.536 I wasn't going to say that but through 02:44:06.560 --> 02:44:08.056 you Mayor. Sorry. Um 02:44:08.080 --> 02:44:10.375 I I literally picked up on that while I 02:44:10.399 --> 02:44:12.375 was while I was looking through 02:44:12.399 --> 02:44:15.255 everything. Um, I think just to give it 02:44:15.279 --> 02:44:17.335 some context, it's a bit fresh for for 02:44:17.359 --> 02:44:20.056 us along St. Kilder Road. So many 02:44:20.080 --> 02:44:23.080 diverse residents, so hard to get to, 02:44:23.120 --> 02:44:25.736 not just through the languaging, but 02:44:25.760 --> 02:44:28.056 through the location. So 02:44:28.080 --> 02:44:29.816 maybe councelor J, it might be a 02:44:29.840 --> 02:44:32.840 question. How do we engage non 02:44:33.040 --> 02:44:34.936 English-sp speakaking speakers in 02:44:34.960 --> 02:44:37.656 high-rise diverse in urban density in 02:44:37.680 --> 02:44:40.136 urban dense environment? 02:44:40.160 --> 02:44:42.136 thank you and through you, Mayor. 02:44:42.160 --> 02:44:44.936 so in in the phase one engagement we had 02:44:44.960 --> 02:44:47.016 um direct targeted popup in those 02:44:47.040 --> 02:44:50.040 locations including um a youth offices 02:44:50.319 --> 02:44:53.176 um present to do surveys with people in 02:44:53.200 --> 02:44:56.200 person. Um so similarly this time 02:44:56.240 --> 02:44:57.896 through the phase one engagement we've 02:44:57.920 --> 02:45:00.375 collected the contact details of all the 02:45:00.399 --> 02:45:01.816 people who are engaged in phase one and 02:45:01.840 --> 02:45:04.840 one of the primary um focus for phase 02:45:05.359 --> 02:45:07.415 2 engagement is to ensure that we loop 02:45:07.439 --> 02:45:10.216 back to those people um as the this is 02:45:10.240 --> 02:45:11.576 the first time that we're sharing the 02:45:11.600 --> 02:45:14.056 draft plan publicly and so the people 02:45:14.080 --> 02:45:15.816 who've informed that we're wanting to 02:45:15.840 --> 02:45:17.976 close the loop with them. Um, so those 02:45:18.000 --> 02:45:19.496 hard-to-reach communities, whether 02:45:19.520 --> 02:45:21.335 they're in high-rise in those locations 02:45:21.359 --> 02:45:23.096 or or some of the other locations around 02:45:23.120 --> 02:45:25.176 the municipality, will have that direct 02:45:25.200 --> 02:45:26.616 line of ability to go back to them 02:45:26.640 --> 02:45:27.415 again. 02:45:27.439 --> 02:45:29.176 And through you, Mayor, just to build on 02:45:29.200 --> 02:45:32.056 Josh's response, I think um the 02:45:32.080 --> 02:45:34.136 multicultural strategy has been a great 02:45:34.160 --> 02:45:36.616 opportunity to test and trial new ways 02:45:36.640 --> 02:45:39.640 of engaging with the community in 02:45:39.760 --> 02:45:41.656 different parts of our municipality, but 02:45:41.680 --> 02:45:42.936 also from different cultural 02:45:42.960 --> 02:45:45.255 backgrounds. So, I'm sure there'll be an 02:45:45.279 --> 02:45:47.656 opportunity through this um process to 02:45:47.680 --> 02:45:50.680 pick up on some of those um tools and 02:45:51.840 --> 02:45:53.496 techniques that we've used through this 02:45:53.520 --> 02:45:55.335 strategy development that are working 02:45:55.359 --> 02:45:57.415 across some of council's other 02:45:57.439 --> 02:45:59.976 engagement activities. 02:46:00.000 --> 02:46:02.216 Given Councelor Jay's question, perhaps 02:46:02.240 --> 02:46:03.896 just to follow up, does that engagement 02:46:03.920 --> 02:46:06.696 also include owner corps or the building 02:46:06.720 --> 02:46:09.720 managers of those high-rise buildings? 02:46:11.600 --> 02:46:13.016 I'll have to take that question on 02:46:13.040 --> 02:46:15.496 notice um and come back to you on that. 02:46:15.520 --> 02:46:16.776 Yeah. 02:46:16.800 --> 02:46:18.375 Yes, councelor Joy. 02:46:18.399 --> 02:46:21.399 Very good question from the Mayor. Um 02:46:22.160 --> 02:46:24.136 the other thing that may want to be 02:46:24.160 --> 02:46:26.295 considered is WhatsApp groups. A lot of 02:46:26.319 --> 02:46:28.056 these buildings including my own have 02:46:28.080 --> 02:46:31.080 got active WhatsApp groups. So certainly 02:46:31.279 --> 02:46:34.136 that is an excellent line of um 02:46:34.160 --> 02:46:36.056 we all have our moments councelor Jay. 02:46:36.080 --> 02:46:37.976 So through you may um and thank you 02:46:38.000 --> 02:46:39.415 councelor Jay. So in the phase one 02:46:39.439 --> 02:46:42.439 engagement, we developed um targeted 02:46:42.800 --> 02:46:44.856 stakeholder packs in language 02:46:44.880 --> 02:46:46.455 specifically for use within those 02:46:46.479 --> 02:46:49.176 WhatsApp groups um and targeted key 02:46:49.200 --> 02:46:50.455 community leaders to be able to then 02:46:50.479 --> 02:46:51.896 disseminate that information in those 02:46:51.920 --> 02:46:54.920 forums. Um so we um this time round the 02:46:55.359 --> 02:46:58.295 the messaging is a little bit more um 02:46:58.319 --> 02:47:00.856 simple to be able to convey around um 02:47:00.880 --> 02:47:02.216 and the probably the other thing to 02:47:02.240 --> 02:47:04.295 emphasize is as part of the pack going 02:47:04.319 --> 02:47:07.319 live um we've translated the the 02:47:08.240 --> 02:47:10.936 draft strategy into an infographic. Um, 02:47:10.960 --> 02:47:12.776 so there's also a visual representation 02:47:12.800 --> 02:47:15.800 of the plan on a page um that picks up a 02:47:16.080 --> 02:47:17.576 visual representation all of the key 02:47:17.600 --> 02:47:20.600 themes and um and objectives um with 02:47:21.359 --> 02:47:23.656 key language but then also um visual 02:47:23.680 --> 02:47:25.415 representation. And so we think that's 02:47:25.439 --> 02:47:27.096 another way that some of the groups that 02:47:27.120 --> 02:47:28.375 we're talking about will be able to 02:47:28.399 --> 02:47:30.616 engage in that material. Um and just to 02:47:30.640 --> 02:47:33.640 extend on um our GM's contribution, 02:47:34.960 --> 02:47:36.056 one of the things that I think the 02:47:36.080 --> 02:47:37.976 counselors were or valued in the 02:47:38.000 --> 02:47:39.656 phase one engagement was the citizenship 02:47:39.680 --> 02:47:42.680 ceremony um popup. Um and so we're 02:47:43.359 --> 02:47:44.936 doing that again in phase two just as 02:47:44.960 --> 02:47:47.960 some of those um creative ways to 02:47:48.000 --> 02:47:50.136 engage community members of a wide range 02:47:50.160 --> 02:47:52.375 of backgrounds but also diffing language 02:47:52.399 --> 02:47:54.616 ability. 02:47:54.640 --> 02:47:56.216 Council Buckingham, I saw your hand 02:47:56.240 --> 02:47:59.176 before. Question. Um a strategy like 02:47:59.200 --> 02:48:01.096 this for good reason needs to be quite 02:48:01.120 --> 02:48:04.120 high high level. We as counselors often 02:48:04.240 --> 02:48:07.240 have um quite practical 02:48:07.520 --> 02:48:09.255 issues that come up for our 02:48:09.279 --> 02:48:12.279 multicultural communities around um 02:48:12.960 --> 02:48:14.696 really practical day-to-day things that 02:48:14.720 --> 02:48:17.656 the council facilitates. How will the 02:48:17.680 --> 02:48:20.680 strategy lead to um a more inclusive and 02:48:22.640 --> 02:48:24.295 um address some of those practical 02:48:24.319 --> 02:48:26.375 issues that we that have come up 02:48:26.399 --> 02:48:29.176 multiple times 02:48:29.200 --> 02:48:30.696 through you Mayor and thank you 02:48:30.720 --> 02:48:33.016 councelor um in the implementation 02:48:33.040 --> 02:48:35.736 section of the report um and and of the 02:48:35.760 --> 02:48:37.415 draft plan itself there's a bit of 02:48:37.439 --> 02:48:40.439 detail on that um particularly some 02:48:40.560 --> 02:48:42.616 of the objectives um when the 02:48:42.640 --> 02:48:44.375 implementation plan is developed speak 02:48:44.399 --> 02:48:46.856 directly to that around trusted services 02:48:46.880 --> 02:48:48.616 and support. So, if we're thinking about 02:48:48.640 --> 02:48:51.176 council services, um how they're 02:48:51.200 --> 02:48:53.496 implemented and having the frameworks 02:48:53.520 --> 02:48:55.096 and guidance to be able to do that in a 02:48:55.120 --> 02:48:57.415 way where people can access information 02:48:57.439 --> 02:49:00.439 easily, but then also um negotiate and 02:49:00.560 --> 02:49:01.816 navigate that and that there's 02:49:01.840 --> 02:49:04.136 flexibility in that to be responsive. Um 02:49:04.160 --> 02:49:05.576 so, some of those very practical 02:49:05.600 --> 02:49:07.176 concerns that have been raised have led 02:49:07.200 --> 02:49:09.096 to changes in the draft plan. While they 02:49:09.120 --> 02:49:10.375 still are represented in a very high 02:49:10.399 --> 02:49:11.816 level way due to the nature of the 02:49:11.840 --> 02:49:14.840 document um they're able to be 02:49:14.880 --> 02:49:17.016 implemented directly with um community 02:49:17.040 --> 02:49:18.536 members across different areas of 02:49:18.560 --> 02:49:21.335 service. 02:49:21.359 --> 02:49:24.359 Any further council bucking 02:49:25.040 --> 02:49:28.040 I have one more. So from from the very 02:49:28.399 --> 02:49:30.776 sort of small issues to the the big 02:49:30.800 --> 02:49:33.176 question how will we evaluate the 02:49:33.200 --> 02:49:36.200 success of the strategy? Um I understand 02:49:37.359 --> 02:49:38.856 a lot of like the goals of the strategy 02:49:38.880 --> 02:49:41.880 are quite hard to to quantify in some 02:49:42.240 --> 02:49:45.240 ways or the outcomes. Um 02:49:45.600 --> 02:49:48.600 have we how do we feel about how we're 02:49:49.120 --> 02:49:52.120 going to evaluate and measure success? 02:49:53.600 --> 02:49:55.335 Thank through you may thank you 02:49:55.359 --> 02:49:58.136 councelor. The um the strategy itself 02:49:58.160 --> 02:50:00.776 outlines um community sat satisfaction 02:50:00.800 --> 02:50:03.255 survey measures that we as a collective 02:50:03.279 --> 02:50:06.279 of across the different actions um we're 02:50:06.560 --> 02:50:08.616 anticipate and and hopeful of being able 02:50:08.640 --> 02:50:10.136 to see improvements in those areas 02:50:10.160 --> 02:50:11.736 specifically given the nature of the 02:50:11.760 --> 02:50:14.455 responses relating to the actions 02:50:14.479 --> 02:50:16.856 itself. Um I think in terms of how we 02:50:16.880 --> 02:50:18.936 then have a level of transparency and 02:50:18.960 --> 02:50:21.415 accountability around um the range of 02:50:21.439 --> 02:50:23.016 actions we've built that into the 02:50:23.040 --> 02:50:25.096 existing council endorsed diversity, 02:50:25.120 --> 02:50:27.415 equity, inclusion framework reporting. 02:50:27.439 --> 02:50:30.439 So that's twice yearly looking at um 02:50:30.560 --> 02:50:31.816 the number of actions that are 02:50:31.840 --> 02:50:34.136 progressing on strategies and then 02:50:34.160 --> 02:50:35.896 building in evaluation to those projects 02:50:35.920 --> 02:50:37.656 themselves. So I think there's a fair 02:50:37.680 --> 02:50:40.216 amount of rigor around that both from a 02:50:40.240 --> 02:50:42.375 um community level in terms of those 02:50:42.399 --> 02:50:44.216 community satisfaction survey measures 02:50:44.240 --> 02:50:46.295 but then from individual actions and how 02:50:46.319 --> 02:50:48.295 we track those and report on those 02:50:48.319 --> 02:50:50.776 internally. 02:50:50.800 --> 02:50:53.800 Any further questions 02:50:56.000 --> 02:50:57.816 in which case there's a recommendation 02:50:57.840 --> 02:51:00.295 before us. Is there a mover? Move 02:51:00.319 --> 02:51:03.319 councelor Buckingham a seconder. 02:51:04.560 --> 02:51:07.176 seconded. Councelor Hardy, does the 02:51:07.200 --> 02:51:10.200 mover wish to speak? 02:51:10.880 --> 02:51:12.616 when I was on the multicultural 02:51:12.640 --> 02:51:15.640 advisory committee and the committee 02:51:16.160 --> 02:51:17.736 was the former committee was wrapping 02:51:17.760 --> 02:51:20.760 up, we did an exercise where we um the 02:51:20.800 --> 02:51:22.616 committee gave feedback on what they 02:51:22.640 --> 02:51:25.640 would most like to see happen in 2526 02:51:27.760 --> 02:51:30.295 um in the multicultural space and they 02:51:30.319 --> 02:51:32.776 said they wanted to see a strategy and I 02:51:32.800 --> 02:51:34.776 I think what I what I heard back then 02:51:34.800 --> 02:51:37.800 was that we do a lot. We do so much and 02:51:39.200 --> 02:51:40.696 I definitely think it's part of our 02:51:40.720 --> 02:51:42.375 values here at City of Port Phillip that 02:51:42.399 --> 02:51:44.056 we are inclusive and that we celebrate 02:51:44.080 --> 02:51:47.080 our diversity and we value it. Um, but 02:51:47.439 --> 02:51:49.176 we were doing a lot without that 02:51:49.200 --> 02:51:52.200 overarching framework and I'm really 02:51:52.319 --> 02:51:53.816 excited by this strategy because I think 02:51:53.840 --> 02:51:56.840 that's what this gives us. Um, and this 02:51:57.120 --> 02:51:59.816 will guide where we put resources, where 02:51:59.840 --> 02:52:02.840 we put our our time and our efforts to 02:52:03.200 --> 02:52:05.016 ensure that we we don't have gaps that 02:52:05.040 --> 02:52:06.696 are not being addressed and that we are 02:52:06.720 --> 02:52:08.856 picking up the full diversity of our 02:52:08.880 --> 02:52:11.016 communities. And as we've, you know, 02:52:11.040 --> 02:52:13.496 discussed earlier this evening with our 02:52:13.520 --> 02:52:15.576 um submission to the Royal Commission, 02:52:15.600 --> 02:52:17.496 it's not an easy time like 02:52:17.520 --> 02:52:20.136 multiculturalism that we may have um 02:52:20.160 --> 02:52:22.776 felt was such a ingrained part of who we 02:52:22.800 --> 02:52:25.415 are. there are threats to our cohesion. 02:52:25.439 --> 02:52:28.439 There are um cracks showing and so we do 02:52:28.560 --> 02:52:29.976 need to be more proactive and more 02:52:30.000 --> 02:52:32.136 strategic in this space and I think this 02:52:32.160 --> 02:52:35.160 document um sets us up for that. So, 02:52:36.240 --> 02:52:37.335 thank you to everyone that's 02:52:37.359 --> 02:52:39.096 contributed. I know that a lot of people 02:52:39.120 --> 02:52:41.335 put a lot of time and effort and shared 02:52:41.359 --> 02:52:43.335 a lot of their own experiences to inform 02:52:43.359 --> 02:52:45.335 the strategy and I encourage everyone 02:52:45.359 --> 02:52:47.255 else that may not have had an 02:52:47.279 --> 02:52:49.496 opportunity to engage to now have a look 02:52:49.520 --> 02:52:52.136 at it and share your ideas and your um 02:52:52.160 --> 02:52:55.096 your thoughts because this will be a 02:52:55.120 --> 02:52:56.696 guiding document that will shape our 02:52:56.720 --> 02:52:58.936 community for many years to come. 02:52:58.960 --> 02:53:01.176 Thank you. Moved councelor Buckingham. 02:53:01.200 --> 02:53:03.656 Thank you. Councelor Hardy as second 02:53:03.680 --> 02:53:05.736 would you like to speak? Many of us 02:53:05.760 --> 02:53:07.176 think and many Australians think that 02:53:07.200 --> 02:53:08.936 we're all inclusive with our 02:53:08.960 --> 02:53:11.896 multicultural people that we are, but 02:53:11.920 --> 02:53:14.375 sometimes we're not. And strategies like 02:53:14.399 --> 02:53:17.399 this really bring it home to the people 02:53:18.000 --> 02:53:19.816 who are in the multicultural 02:53:19.840 --> 02:53:21.576 environment, but we are including them 02:53:21.600 --> 02:53:24.600 and we do value their opinions. 02:53:25.120 --> 02:53:27.496 Thank you, councelor Hardy. Any other 02:53:27.520 --> 02:53:29.736 councilors wish to speak to this item? 02:53:29.760 --> 02:53:31.816 Councelor Timman, 02:53:31.840 --> 02:53:33.816 you know, as a migrant, I think, 02:53:33.840 --> 02:53:36.840 have to speak. Um, 02:53:37.359 --> 02:53:40.216 one of our, you know, joys is, being 02:53:40.240 --> 02:53:42.936 part of the citizenship ceremonies and 02:53:42.960 --> 02:53:44.616 to actually, you know, the last one I 02:53:44.640 --> 02:53:46.056 missed it, but there were nearly 200 02:53:46.080 --> 02:53:49.016 people. I was in, I was in in town, 02:53:49.040 --> 02:53:50.696 but, you know, and knowing that is a 02:53:50.720 --> 02:53:52.375 backlog. I don't know how many hundreds 02:53:52.399 --> 02:53:54.536 of people who want to become 02:53:54.560 --> 02:53:57.560 Australians. And it is such a joy you 02:53:58.560 --> 02:54:01.335 know I went through that in on the 26th 02:54:01.359 --> 02:54:04.359 of January 1990 outside the town hall 02:54:04.560 --> 02:54:07.560 here. So it is u a moment to 02:54:08.160 --> 02:54:11.160 celebrate and um you know obviously you 02:54:12.720 --> 02:54:14.216 know we talked about the anti-semitism 02:54:14.240 --> 02:54:16.136 but it's much much broader you know like 02:54:16.160 --> 02:54:17.816 I suppose antise-semitism at the moment 02:54:17.840 --> 02:54:20.840 is is taken a bit of the the kind of the 02:54:21.279 --> 02:54:23.255 the first step but you know we talk 02:54:23.279 --> 02:54:25.096 about you know every time there are 30 02:54:25.120 --> 02:54:27.176 or 40 countries or people coming from 02:54:27.200 --> 02:54:29.415 all these countries that come and have 02:54:29.439 --> 02:54:31.896 chosen to live in our city and become 02:54:31.920 --> 02:54:34.920 Australian. So u I think it's important 02:54:35.520 --> 02:54:37.496 um you know um I've done haven't done 02:54:37.520 --> 02:54:40.520 too badly as a as a as a migrant and 02:54:41.120 --> 02:54:44.056 councelor B is the same but um you know 02:54:44.080 --> 02:54:46.216 I wish you know it is a great place to 02:54:46.240 --> 02:54:49.240 be and um but we it it is a challenge 02:54:49.760 --> 02:54:52.760 and whatever we can do to make our 02:54:52.800 --> 02:54:54.936 migrants and multicultural people 02:54:54.960 --> 02:54:57.576 welcome into our city whatever we can do 02:54:57.600 --> 02:54:59.335 we have to do and hopefully this 02:54:59.359 --> 02:55:02.056 strategy helps us getting there and 02:55:02.080 --> 02:55:04.936 making the people who are not from here 02:55:04.960 --> 02:55:07.960 welcome to hear. 02:55:08.080 --> 02:55:09.816 Thank you councelor Timman. Any other 02:55:09.840 --> 02:55:11.976 counselors wish to speak to the item 02:55:12.000 --> 02:55:14.455 before us? 02:55:14.479 --> 02:55:16.136 Yes, councelor Halliday, the floor is 02:55:16.160 --> 02:55:18.136 yours. 02:55:18.160 --> 02:55:19.896 Um, 02:55:19.920 --> 02:55:22.920 unless your ancestors walked here 40,000 02:55:24.960 --> 02:55:27.960 years ago, pretty much your 02:55:29.200 --> 02:55:31.576 ancestors, your predecessors were 02:55:31.600 --> 02:55:33.016 immigrants. You know, they came here 02:55:33.040 --> 02:55:36.040 from somewhere else. Um, and I think 02:55:36.800 --> 02:55:39.800 this reflects the experience where some 02:55:39.920 --> 02:55:42.920 of us have go back different numbers of 02:55:43.120 --> 02:55:44.616 generations, some of us go back 02:55:44.640 --> 02:55:47.640 millennia. Um but I think that this the 02:55:49.359 --> 02:55:52.359 multicultural strategy here reflects the 02:55:52.800 --> 02:55:54.616 experience of a whole bunch of people 02:55:54.640 --> 02:55:57.640 who've come together um to Australia 02:55:57.680 --> 02:56:00.136 from different places over different 02:56:00.160 --> 02:56:02.295 time periods. And um I think this 02:56:02.319 --> 02:56:05.319 hopefully reflects our shared values of 02:56:05.920 --> 02:56:08.920 embracing new people and the differences 02:56:10.160 --> 02:56:12.936 that they bring um rather than expecting 02:56:12.960 --> 02:56:15.736 everyone to be exactly the same. and 02:56:15.760 --> 02:56:18.760 live in one way. So, I'd like to um 02:56:19.359 --> 02:56:22.136 thank Council Buckingham for 02:56:22.160 --> 02:56:24.536 championing this last year um and 02:56:24.560 --> 02:56:27.415 getting this done and um hope that this 02:56:27.439 --> 02:56:30.439 speaks to all the different facets of 02:56:30.479 --> 02:56:33.479 our community here in saying that um 02:56:33.760 --> 02:56:36.616 you know, we all belong here. so, I'm 02:56:36.640 --> 02:56:39.016 happy to support this. 02:56:39.040 --> 02:56:41.176 Thank you, Councelor Halliday. Any 02:56:41.200 --> 02:56:44.200 other counselors wish to speak? 02:56:46.000 --> 02:56:48.375 No other counselors have indicated a 02:56:48.399 --> 02:56:49.816 desire to speak, in which case we'll 02:56:49.840 --> 02:56:51.576 head back to the mover to close. 02:56:51.600 --> 02:56:54.295 Councelor Buckingham, over to you. 02:56:54.319 --> 02:56:56.936 Just in closing, and I probably should 02:56:56.960 --> 02:56:59.960 have asked this as a question. Um, 02:57:00.720 --> 02:57:03.720 the strategy is the achievement of the 02:57:04.000 --> 02:57:05.976 people on the multicultural advisory, 02:57:06.000 --> 02:57:07.656 the former multicultural advisory 02:57:07.680 --> 02:57:09.415 committee. So, I think it would be 02:57:09.439 --> 02:57:11.576 really great if they were notified about 02:57:11.600 --> 02:57:13.415 the decision. you know, I'm presuming 02:57:13.439 --> 02:57:16.439 there's broad support for um this 02:57:16.640 --> 02:57:18.216 strategy taking the next step. And I 02:57:18.240 --> 02:57:19.896 just think it's really important that 02:57:19.920 --> 02:57:21.976 those community leaders that have been 02:57:22.000 --> 02:57:23.335 calling for this and actively 02:57:23.359 --> 02:57:25.976 participating are brought along on this 02:57:26.000 --> 02:57:27.415 journey even though we've um 02:57:27.439 --> 02:57:30.439 reconstituted that that committee um 02:57:31.680 --> 02:57:34.680 and that they they come along with us on 02:57:34.960 --> 02:57:37.816 this next step. And I'd just like to 02:57:37.840 --> 02:57:39.656 thank all the officers for their work on 02:57:39.680 --> 02:57:42.680 this strategy. Thank you. 02:57:43.040 --> 02:57:45.176 Thank you, Council Buckingham. In 02:57:45.200 --> 02:57:47.096 closing the debate, the motion is now 02:57:47.120 --> 02:57:50.120 being put. All those in favor, 02:57:50.240 --> 02:57:52.776 that is carried 02:57:52.800 --> 02:57:55.800 unanimously. 02:57:56.399 --> 02:57:59.399 Brings us now to item 11.2, the draft 02:57:59.520 --> 02:58:01.656 creative strategy for community 02:58:01.680 --> 02:58:03.335 consultation. 02:58:03.359 --> 02:58:06.359 Any questions for officers? 02:58:08.880 --> 02:58:11.176 Councelor 02:58:11.200 --> 02:58:14.200 So we got a draft. What are we doing 02:58:15.439 --> 02:58:18.439 next? Because obviously we are priming 02:58:18.560 --> 02:58:21.560 ourselves to be a creative city. Um so 02:58:22.080 --> 02:58:24.216 you know we are a multi multicultural 02:58:24.240 --> 02:58:25.976 creative city. It's kind of interesting 02:58:26.000 --> 02:58:29.000 that both drafts come to us tonight 02:58:29.200 --> 02:58:32.200 at the same time. Um so 02:58:32.319 --> 02:58:35.096 what are the next steps to make sure 02:58:35.120 --> 02:58:38.120 that first you know I think it's we have 02:58:38.800 --> 02:58:41.800 many groups um that are very active 02:58:42.640 --> 02:58:45.640 in that scene.

We we primarily did that 03:01:27.680 --> 03:01:29.896 through an external consultant who held 03:01:29.920 --> 03:01:32.216 a number of workshops to understand the 03:01:32.240 --> 03:01:34.295 sector's challenges, opportunities and 03:01:34.319 --> 03:01:36.056 priorities. And that included our arts 03:01:36.080 --> 03:01:38.455 organizations as well as independent 03:01:38.479 --> 03:01:40.536 artists, representatives from some 03:01:40.560 --> 03:01:42.536 of our key industries such as live music 03:01:42.560 --> 03:01:45.016 and screen, our traditional owners, our 03:01:45.040 --> 03:01:46.936 local businesses, and we also did an 03:01:46.960 --> 03:01:49.096 online survey to, sector 03:01:49.120 --> 03:01:51.496 representatives and independent 03:01:51.520 --> 03:01:53.496 practitioners as well. That's all 03:01:53.520 --> 03:01:55.816 informed the draft, which then was also 03:01:55.840 --> 03:01:57.576 peer-reviewed by people within the 03:01:57.600 --> 03:01:59.255 sector prior to this community 03:01:59.279 --> 03:02:01.896 consultation period as well. and also as 03:02:01.920 --> 03:02:03.976 part of that accommodated a fairly 03:02:04.000 --> 03:02:05.335 significant number of stakeholders that 03:02:05.359 --> 03:02:07.255 I think I sent your way to as part of 03:02:07.279 --> 03:02:10.279 that consultation 03:02:10.560 --> 03:02:13.016 through there were hundreds of people 03:02:13.040 --> 03:02:16.040 consulted through that consultation. 03:02:16.399 --> 03:02:18.616 Thank you. Any further questions 03:02:18.640 --> 03:02:21.640 councelor 03:02:21.840 --> 03:02:23.656 obviously we have a lot of organizations 03:02:23.680 --> 03:02:26.680 in that in that sphere in the 03:02:26.800 --> 03:02:29.800 city. can the final report actually 03:02:30.479 --> 03:02:32.136 identify 03:02:32.160 --> 03:02:35.016 what we have got and try to get some 03:02:35.040 --> 03:02:37.896 information from them. Um in terms of 03:02:37.920 --> 03:02:40.920 even you know we know the issues that 03:02:40.960 --> 03:02:43.896 exist at the moment with financing 03:02:43.920 --> 03:02:46.696 we want organization to be sustainable 03:02:46.720 --> 03:02:49.016 but we know that there's been cut 03:02:49.040 --> 03:02:51.576 budget cuts and others. So is there any 03:02:51.600 --> 03:02:54.136 ways to incorporate in the final 03:02:54.160 --> 03:02:56.536 report the organization we've got and 03:02:56.560 --> 03:02:59.560 having made pie charts or things to you 03:02:59.680 --> 03:03:02.680 know we know um you know how we how they 03:03:03.920 --> 03:03:05.976 work how they are financed you know 03:03:06.000 --> 03:03:07.976 because if they if they have got grants 03:03:08.000 --> 03:03:10.375 by the state government and that's been 03:03:10.399 --> 03:03:11.976 cut or whatever you know I think whether 03:03:12.000 --> 03:03:14.455 the ticket says what this is a pie chart 03:03:14.479 --> 03:03:16.375 I know I've spoken with some of them and 03:03:16.399 --> 03:03:18.295 they're happy to provide those figures 03:03:18.319 --> 03:03:21.016 so so to make sure that we know what we 03:03:21.040 --> 03:03:24.040 deal with in our city and and and how we 03:03:24.240 --> 03:03:25.496 can help if needed. 03:03:25.520 --> 03:03:27.976 Thank you. 03:03:28.000 --> 03:03:30.136 Through you, Mayor, we would feasibly be 03:03:30.160 --> 03:03:32.136 able to do that with the organizations 03:03:32.160 --> 03:03:34.375 that we fund or our key arts 03:03:34.399 --> 03:03:36.375 organizations to do that more 03:03:36.399 --> 03:03:38.856 extensively would need more time than 03:03:38.880 --> 03:03:41.736 the 5we consultation period we have. But 03:03:41.760 --> 03:03:43.415 I note one of the year one actions in 03:03:43.439 --> 03:03:46.375 the strategy is to do some cultural 03:03:46.399 --> 03:03:49.399 mapping to locate um where where these 03:03:50.000 --> 03:03:52.216 businesses are and and what sort of 03:03:52.240 --> 03:03:54.616 services they're providing and as part 03:03:54.640 --> 03:03:56.295 of that we could undertake that more 03:03:56.319 --> 03:03:57.976 extensive work. But to put that in 03:03:58.000 --> 03:03:59.816 perspective, we understand there's 03:03:59.840 --> 03:04:02.136 600 registered businesses in the 03:04:02.160 --> 03:04:04.455 municipality that would fall under the 03:04:04.479 --> 03:04:07.479 umbrella of this strategy. And so to get 03:04:07.520 --> 03:04:10.455 any significant proportion of those 03:04:10.479 --> 03:04:12.216 would would be a challenge in a fiveweek 03:04:12.240 --> 03:04:14.056 period. 03:04:14.080 --> 03:04:17.080 Any further questions? 03:04:17.520 --> 03:04:19.415 Councelor Consol. 03:04:19.439 --> 03:04:20.696 Thank you. Hopefully this hasn't been 03:04:20.720 --> 03:04:23.720 asked previously, but on 3.6 six where 03:04:24.800 --> 03:04:27.576 it says that the um reallocation of the 03:04:27.600 --> 03:04:29.816 $450,000 from the St. killer festival 03:04:29.840 --> 03:04:32.295 peranium given that that's sort of how 03:04:32.319 --> 03:04:34.216 we talked about it in this financial 03:04:34.240 --> 03:04:35.976 year that we're in now where it was we 03:04:36.000 --> 03:04:39.000 carved off some um is that suggesting 03:04:39.520 --> 03:04:42.136 that ongoing we're going to s call it 03:04:42.160 --> 03:04:45.096 that it's kind of carved off that 450 03:04:45.120 --> 03:04:47.816 and not that it's um its own bucket of 03:04:47.840 --> 03:04:50.840 money because in a future council they 03:04:51.279 --> 03:04:52.536 might start interpreting it a little 03:04:52.560 --> 03:04:54.056 different which is their right to do so 03:04:54.080 --> 03:04:56.936 but I just wondered how we're going to 03:04:56.960 --> 03:04:59.960 um call that in the future budgets 03:05:00.000 --> 03:05:02.455 through you, Mayor. we can certainly 03:05:02.479 --> 03:05:04.375 give some further consideration to the 03:05:04.399 --> 03:05:07.016 way that is treated in the future. 03:05:07.040 --> 03:05:10.040 But the intent is that any new 03:05:10.560 --> 03:05:13.335 actions um that are outlined in the 03:05:13.359 --> 03:05:16.359 strategy would be funded um by council 03:05:16.880 --> 03:05:19.816 reducing the the budget or 03:05:19.840 --> 03:05:21.896 maintaining the budget as it is sort of 03:05:21.920 --> 03:05:24.856 currently I guess um and using the 03:05:24.880 --> 03:05:27.880 $450,000 that had been had been 03:05:28.240 --> 03:05:30.455 previously available to fund those 03:05:30.479 --> 03:05:33.255 activities. But I take your point. we 03:05:33.279 --> 03:05:35.096 need to probably give some consideration 03:05:35.120 --> 03:05:38.120 to the way that's worded going forward. 03:05:38.160 --> 03:05:41.160 Okay. And I had councelor Jay and then 03:05:42.080 --> 03:05:43.976 we'll go to councelor Hardy. 03:05:44.000 --> 03:05:46.856 Yeah. just um remind me this was 03:05:46.880 --> 03:05:49.880 originally a creative and economic 03:05:50.080 --> 03:05:52.936 development strategy that we as 03:05:52.960 --> 03:05:55.255 councilors decided to split so we could 03:05:55.279 --> 03:05:57.335 focus on the creative and then focus on 03:05:57.359 --> 03:05:59.176 the economic development as something 03:05:59.200 --> 03:06:02.136 separate which um is great. When is the 03:06:02.160 --> 03:06:05.160 economic development part of this 03:06:05.760 --> 03:06:08.760 um coming to town 03:06:09.200 --> 03:06:12.200 CEO 03:06:12.319 --> 03:06:13.016 over to you 03:06:13.040 --> 03:06:16.040 through you may work on that has 03:06:16.880 --> 03:06:19.816 commenced I can't tell you the exact 03:06:19.840 --> 03:06:22.840 date but it will be coming to 03:06:24.160 --> 03:06:26.136 counselors 03:06:26.160 --> 03:06:29.160 but it's probably um a number of months 03:06:29.439 --> 03:06:31.656 away rather than immediately. and and 03:06:31.680 --> 03:06:33.736 that's in part because we've I suppose 03:06:33.760 --> 03:06:36.616 seen the development of this strategy um 03:06:36.640 --> 03:06:39.415 and then have done some work to then see 03:06:39.439 --> 03:06:41.976 um what else we need to do um so it's a 03:06:42.000 --> 03:06:44.375 sequential development rather than doing 03:06:44.399 --> 03:06:47.399 the two together 03:06:49.680 --> 03:06:51.576 councelor Hardy now's your time for that 03:06:51.600 --> 03:06:52.536 question 03:06:52.560 --> 03:06:54.136 under the current policy could that 03:06:54.160 --> 03:06:57.160 $450,000 be put back into the S Kilda 03:06:58.319 --> 03:06:59.496 Festival 03:06:59.520 --> 03:07:01.896 three May that's a matter for 03:07:01.920 --> 03:07:02.375 council. 03:07:02.399 --> 03:07:04.936 No, it can't. So you've made a decision 03:07:04.960 --> 03:07:06.216 unless you counselors want to make 03:07:06.240 --> 03:07:09.240 another decision. Um so at the moment 03:07:09.840 --> 03:07:11.576 where council officers are operating to 03:07:11.600 --> 03:07:13.255 the decision that the council have made 03:07:13.279 --> 03:07:15.176 and it was quite quite a difficult 03:07:15.200 --> 03:07:18.200 process for officers to to find that 03:07:18.880 --> 03:07:19.736 450,000. 03:07:19.760 --> 03:07:21.576 I'm sure we stand by the decisions we 03:07:21.600 --> 03:07:24.600 have made. Councelor Hardy, any further 03:07:24.960 --> 03:07:27.960 questions? 03:07:29.920 --> 03:07:32.920 All righty. No further questions. 03:07:32.960 --> 03:07:34.295 councelor Tom. Was that a question or 03:07:34.319 --> 03:07:36.696 did you wish to move? 03:07:36.720 --> 03:07:39.255 Move. Councelor Thomann. Seconded. 03:07:39.279 --> 03:07:41.415 Councelor Crawford. 03:07:41.439 --> 03:07:44.056 Does the mover wish to speak? The floor 03:07:44.080 --> 03:07:45.016 is yours. 03:07:45.040 --> 03:07:46.536 The first thing I would like to say, 03:07:46.560 --> 03:07:47.896 it's the first time I think that a 03:07:47.920 --> 03:07:49.255 councelor wants to spend more money on 03:07:49.279 --> 03:07:52.279 the Sincularo Festival 03:07:53.439 --> 03:07:56.216 in my in my in my history. Um, it was 03:07:56.240 --> 03:07:57.816 pretty good last year with a bit of 03:07:57.840 --> 03:08:00.536 saving. Um 03:08:00.560 --> 03:08:03.560 I I'm hope you know this is a draft and 03:08:04.000 --> 03:08:07.000 I'm actually really hoping that with all 03:08:07.439 --> 03:08:10.439 the creative minds we've got in our city 03:08:10.479 --> 03:08:13.479 um they will help us shape even a better 03:08:14.160 --> 03:08:17.160 strategy with the input of the 03:08:17.680 --> 03:08:19.255 numerous people like you know I didn't 03:08:19.279 --> 03:08:21.176 realize there were 600 organizations in 03:08:21.200 --> 03:08:23.176 the city I know that you know there's a 03:08:23.200 --> 03:08:26.200 lot of people so I hope um that um the 03:08:28.319 --> 03:08:30.616 draft, you know, it's pretty good, but 03:08:30.640 --> 03:08:33.640 it can be much better because, you know, 03:08:33.680 --> 03:08:36.136 it's it's a 03:08:36.160 --> 03:08:39.160 it's a document and it's a theme that I 03:08:39.439 --> 03:08:41.335 would say a lot of people in our city 03:08:41.359 --> 03:08:44.359 will be interested to be part of 03:08:44.960 --> 03:08:47.016 because, you know, they've literally 03:08:47.040 --> 03:08:48.216 have a conf, you know, they have an 03:08:48.240 --> 03:08:49.576 interest, I'm not saying a conflict of 03:08:49.600 --> 03:08:52.136 interest, but they have an interest for 03:08:52.160 --> 03:08:54.616 our cultural strategy to be successful 03:08:54.640 --> 03:08:56.936 in our city because if it because it 03:08:56.960 --> 03:08:59.960 helps them. So I encourage everybody to 03:09:00.240 --> 03:09:02.936 be part of it. So we can include their 03:09:02.960 --> 03:09:05.960 thought that we have already included 03:09:06.240 --> 03:09:09.240 but um good good on you for you know we 03:09:10.560 --> 03:09:13.255 have been part of a of a session with 03:09:13.279 --> 03:09:16.279 the consultant and some of our ideas are 03:09:16.720 --> 03:09:19.720 are in there but you know we are we want 03:09:19.840 --> 03:09:22.136 to have the best we want the best 03:09:22.160 --> 03:09:24.375 cultural city in our in the state. We 03:09:24.399 --> 03:09:26.136 know we even state sometimes we are 03:09:26.160 --> 03:09:28.536 already but this strategy will 03:09:28.560 --> 03:09:30.136 actually shape that in the future and 03:09:30.160 --> 03:09:32.696 again I encourage everyone in that 03:09:32.720 --> 03:09:35.096 sector to be part of the consultation 03:09:35.120 --> 03:09:38.056 and tell us how we can things do things 03:09:38.080 --> 03:09:40.216 even better. 03:09:40.240 --> 03:09:41.976 The mover has spoken. Does the second 03:09:42.000 --> 03:09:43.335 wish to speak? 03:09:43.359 --> 03:09:45.096 yes I did. I just wanted to thank 03:09:45.120 --> 03:09:47.255 officers and the community at large who 03:09:47.279 --> 03:09:49.335 have contributed to this. I do think 03:09:49.359 --> 03:09:51.255 it's a very different strategy to the 03:09:51.279 --> 03:09:53.576 last one in its framing where it values 03:09:53.600 --> 03:09:56.600 the arts and creativity for itself and 03:09:56.960 --> 03:09:59.896 what it brings to um a community, a 03:09:59.920 --> 03:10:02.856 society, you know, a municipality. Um 03:10:02.880 --> 03:10:04.536 and I really think the framing of 03:10:04.560 --> 03:10:06.136 producer, promoter, and partner is 03:10:06.160 --> 03:10:09.160 really clever and succinct. Um I think 03:10:09.359 --> 03:10:12.359 that a lot of arts um the arts itself or 03:10:13.520 --> 03:10:15.496 creativity itself brings people together 03:10:15.520 --> 03:10:17.736 at a time when we need to do that more 03:10:17.760 --> 03:10:20.760 than ever. and often it is in person 03:10:21.279 --> 03:10:23.656 which is and well not always but it is 03:10:23.680 --> 03:10:26.455 in person and I do think in kind of line 03:10:26.479 --> 03:10:28.295 with the multicultural strategy this 03:10:28.319 --> 03:10:29.736 this is the kind of things as we're 03:10:29.760 --> 03:10:32.760 facing AI you know polarization 03:10:32.800 --> 03:10:34.616 algorithms and that this is actually the 03:10:34.640 --> 03:10:36.536 thing that can um maybe break through 03:10:36.560 --> 03:10:39.560 with our humanity and um and and 03:10:41.040 --> 03:10:43.176 bringing us back to you know what it is 03:10:43.200 --> 03:10:45.576 to be human and and with each other and 03:10:45.600 --> 03:10:47.496 respecting you know look after each 03:10:47.520 --> 03:10:50.375 other. Um I do want to do a plug here 03:10:50.399 --> 03:10:53.399 that I do think as much as we can tweak 03:10:54.080 --> 03:10:57.080 around the actual um words or the intent 03:10:58.960 --> 03:11:01.255 of this strategy. The major thing that 03:11:01.279 --> 03:11:03.576 we really need to get from other levels 03:11:03.600 --> 03:11:05.896 of government is to reinstate or 03:11:05.920 --> 03:11:07.976 increase the funding that actually keeps 03:11:08.000 --> 03:11:10.936 this ecology of independent theater um 03:11:10.960 --> 03:11:13.960 you know visual arts music alive. Um it 03:11:14.560 --> 03:11:17.560 is a gap. there is often a jumping to 03:11:17.760 --> 03:11:19.576 other industries to support the 03:11:19.600 --> 03:11:21.496 construction industry or the whatever 03:11:21.520 --> 03:11:23.736 from them falling over or whatever other 03:11:23.760 --> 03:11:26.056 services but it doesn't matter if jobs 03:11:26.080 --> 03:11:27.976 in the creative industries fall to the 03:11:28.000 --> 03:11:29.576 wayside and it's actually not huge 03:11:29.600 --> 03:11:31.415 amounts of money so I'm putting that 03:11:31.439 --> 03:11:32.936 call out to state and federal 03:11:32.960 --> 03:11:34.856 governments to work with us these are 03:11:34.880 --> 03:11:36.696 jobs these are people's and there is a 03:11:36.720 --> 03:11:39.335 huge ecosystem of industry beyond just 03:11:39.359 --> 03:11:42.056 the artists themselves and um and some 03:11:42.080 --> 03:11:44.056 of the organizations themselves so I 03:11:44.080 --> 03:11:44.936 think we need to think of it 03:11:44.960 --> 03:11:47.496 differently. It's jobs that matter. It's 03:11:47.520 --> 03:11:50.520 people that matter. And this kind of 03:11:50.960 --> 03:11:52.936 um getting back to humanity is more 03:11:52.960 --> 03:11:55.335 important for social cohesion than it's 03:11:55.359 --> 03:11:57.816 ever been. Um but I do think that has to 03:11:57.840 --> 03:12:00.375 be our first and foremost focus and I 03:12:00.399 --> 03:12:01.736 thank you to the officers who are going 03:12:01.760 --> 03:12:03.576 to put in a submission on behalf of the 03:12:03.600 --> 03:12:05.255 city to the federal government's 03:12:05.279 --> 03:12:07.896 cultural strategy at the moment. But um 03:12:07.920 --> 03:12:09.656 if I don't even think councelor Thomann 03:12:09.680 --> 03:12:11.736 we need to find out how much 03:12:11.760 --> 03:12:13.816 organizations have lost in ticket. they 03:12:13.840 --> 03:12:15.496 can just just tell us how much they need 03:12:15.520 --> 03:12:17.255 to survive. It's not worth doing the 03:12:17.279 --> 03:12:19.415 work. They can tell us it's and they're 03:12:19.439 --> 03:12:21.496 pretty clear all of them already. So, um 03:12:21.520 --> 03:12:23.656 let's not waste our time and their time 03:12:23.680 --> 03:12:25.736 and let's just get on with this ad 03:12:25.760 --> 03:12:27.976 advocacy and do what we can in this 03:12:28.000 --> 03:12:28.776 space. 03:12:28.800 --> 03:12:30.455 Thank you, councelor Crawford. Any other 03:12:30.479 --> 03:12:32.776 councilors wish to speak to the motion? 03:12:32.800 --> 03:12:35.800 Councelor Buckingham, 03:12:36.000 --> 03:12:38.616 this strategy is so important to the 03:12:38.640 --> 03:12:40.856 future of the city of Port Phillip. We 03:12:40.880 --> 03:12:43.335 have to get this right. Um just this 03:12:43.359 --> 03:12:46.295 morning it was reported that um 03:12:46.319 --> 03:12:48.455 attendance at live cultural events is 03:12:48.479 --> 03:12:51.479 up. Australians want to be together. 03:12:51.840 --> 03:12:53.576 They want to go to live music. They want 03:12:53.600 --> 03:12:55.736 to go to live theater. Um it was 03:12:55.760 --> 03:12:57.255 reported this morning that it's up to 03:12:57.279 --> 03:13:00.279 74% of Australians have attended um in 03:13:00.560 --> 03:13:03.560 recent times, but cost is a barrier and 03:13:04.160 --> 03:13:07.160 um and that is stopping some people that 03:13:08.000 --> 03:13:10.136 would want to go more often and want to 03:13:10.160 --> 03:13:13.160 engage more um from being able to. And 03:13:14.640 --> 03:13:17.496 um I recently was looking at some 03:13:17.520 --> 03:13:19.656 data that suggested that one in 10 03:13:19.680 --> 03:13:22.680 people in this area work in the arts or 03:13:24.000 --> 03:13:27.000 the cultural sector. So it's key to us 03:13:27.120 --> 03:13:29.176 coming together as a community, us 03:13:29.200 --> 03:13:31.816 connecting with other other people, 03:13:31.840 --> 03:13:34.840 engaging in our um in our society in its 03:13:36.319 --> 03:13:37.976 truest sense of the word, but it's also 03:13:38.000 --> 03:13:41.000 a big employer for this area. And yet 03:13:43.520 --> 03:13:45.656 it has been described as a perfect storm 03:13:45.680 --> 03:13:47.896 particularly for our independent arts 03:13:47.920 --> 03:13:50.920 organizations and there will be theaters 03:13:52.000 --> 03:13:54.936 and galleries and live music venues that 03:13:54.960 --> 03:13:56.936 will shut and close and just because 03:13:56.960 --> 03:13:58.776 they've been here for 40 plus years 03:13:58.800 --> 03:14:01.800 doesn't mean we can't imagine a city of 03:14:01.840 --> 03:14:04.056 Port Phillip without these institutions. 03:14:04.080 --> 03:14:07.080 So this strategy is crucial and I think 03:14:08.399 --> 03:14:09.976 there's a lot of good ideas in there, 03:14:10.000 --> 03:14:12.936 but I ask the community, I ask that one 03:14:12.960 --> 03:14:14.776 in 10 people that work in this sector, 03:14:14.800 --> 03:14:16.536 is it ambitious enough? Are there things 03:14:16.560 --> 03:14:19.415 we could be doing that we're not? Um how 03:14:19.439 --> 03:14:22.056 can we better support this sector? 03:14:22.080 --> 03:14:23.736 Because if we don't get it right, we're 03:14:23.760 --> 03:14:26.760 going to lose it. Um, so I'm I'm very 03:14:28.800 --> 03:14:31.415 keen to see how the next stage of this 03:14:31.439 --> 03:14:34.439 engagement goes and um very keen to see 03:14:34.960 --> 03:14:37.656 this strategy succeed. 03:14:37.680 --> 03:14:39.496 All right, we will need a time 03:14:39.520 --> 03:14:41.016 extension. are there any other 03:14:41.040 --> 03:14:42.536 councilors that wish to speak to this 03:14:42.560 --> 03:14:44.776 motion before I put it? Councelor 03:14:44.800 --> 03:14:46.856 Halliday. 03:14:46.880 --> 03:14:49.880 Yep. 03:14:51.120 --> 03:14:54.120 as a person with a long connection 03:14:55.600 --> 03:14:57.976 to the creative industries um especially 03:14:58.000 --> 03:14:59.896 the screen and gaming industries I think 03:14:59.920 --> 03:15:02.215 that the inclusion of those in this 03:15:02.239 --> 03:15:04.536 strategy is important you know we have a 03:15:04.560 --> 03:15:06.856 large number of our um residents here 03:15:06.880 --> 03:15:08.776 who are employed in these industries and 03:15:08.800 --> 03:15:11.096 I realize this isn't just an economic 03:15:11.120 --> 03:15:14.120 thing um but it is important the arts 03:15:14.880 --> 03:15:17.496 and culture and the jobs that they 03:15:17.520 --> 03:15:20.215 support are important for for us beyond 03:15:20.239 --> 03:15:23.239 the actual creative um expression that 03:15:23.279 --> 03:15:25.656 we gain from um the creative industry. 03:15:25.680 --> 03:15:28.680 So totally supportive of this um and 03:15:28.960 --> 03:15:31.960 happy to support um those people who 03:15:32.720 --> 03:15:35.720 are um employed or otherwise engaged in 03:15:36.080 --> 03:15:38.536 the creative industries and creative 03:15:38.560 --> 03:15:40.455 activities. 03:15:40.479 --> 03:15:42.136 Interesting definition of 10 seconds but 03:15:42.160 --> 03:15:44.056 well spoken councelor Halliday. Any 03:15:44.080 --> 03:15:45.976 other councilors wish to speak to this 03:15:46.000 --> 03:15:47.576 motion? 03:15:47.600 --> 03:15:50.215 Councelor Tamman, you may close. No 03:15:50.239 --> 03:15:53.239 other councils have indicated they wish. 03:15:53.600 --> 03:15:55.096 Um 03:15:55.120 --> 03:15:57.255 I think what's kind of missing the 03:15:57.279 --> 03:15:59.176 strategies how we can generate extra 03:15:59.200 --> 03:16:02.200 income um apart from state and federal 03:16:02.880 --> 03:16:05.255 involvement. So hopefully the next stage 03:16:05.279 --> 03:16:07.576 will help us be more creative when it 03:16:07.600 --> 03:16:10.600 comes to supporting financially 03:16:10.720 --> 03:16:13.720 the sector. But um um as I said, I'm 03:16:14.000 --> 03:16:16.536 looking forward to the next few months 03:16:16.560 --> 03:16:19.560 with community engagement and even 03:16:20.640 --> 03:16:23.576 better strategy. 03:16:23.600 --> 03:16:26.215 Great. the motion has now been 03:16:26.239 --> 03:16:28.455 closed. It is being put. All those in 03:16:28.479 --> 03:16:31.479 favor that is carried. 03:16:32.479 --> 03:16:35.479 okay. councelor Thomann, councelor 03:16:35.680 --> 03:16:38.536 Jay, councelor Buckingham, councelor 03:16:38.560 --> 03:16:40.136 Crawford, councelor Consol, councelor 03:16:40.160 --> 03:16:42.056 Halliday, deputy may all those 03:16:42.080 --> 03:16:44.616 opposed. 03:16:44.640 --> 03:16:47.176 one abstination. So therefore the 03:16:47.200 --> 03:16:50.200 motion is carried and as per item or as 03:16:51.840 --> 03:16:54.840 per our governance rules 8 10.2 do call 03:16:55.600 --> 03:16:57.736 for an extension of up to 30 minutes to 03:16:57.760 --> 03:16:59.736 consider the remaining items.

This is item 03:17:25.680 --> 03:17:27.976 13.2. Donovan's restaurant capital 03:17:28.000 --> 03:17:30.936 building upgrade and new lease proposal. 03:17:30.960 --> 03:17:33.016 Questions for officers? Yes. Council 03:17:33.040 --> 03:17:35.415 Holiday. 03:17:35.439 --> 03:17:38.136 thank you, Maya. Just wondering um we 03:17:38.160 --> 03:17:40.375 had a discussion earlier today um about 03:17:40.399 --> 03:17:43.399 this this this proposal here extends 03:17:44.800 --> 03:17:47.800 the lease for Donovan's out to 20 um 03:17:50.239 --> 03:17:53.239 2046, maybe 2047 depending on when they 03:17:54.080 --> 03:17:56.936 undertake all the works here. Obviously, 03:17:56.960 --> 03:17:58.455 you know, we've had discussions earlier 03:17:58.479 --> 03:18:00.856 around the impacts on on our coasts. We 03:18:00.880 --> 03:18:03.016 don't know exactly what the um state of 03:18:03.040 --> 03:18:05.656 our coast will look like in 2047. I'm 03:18:05.680 --> 03:18:08.680 wondering what exposure or risk we have 03:18:09.040 --> 03:18:12.040 um along the coast if we have a contract 03:18:13.120 --> 03:18:15.096 that you know a lease that extends that 03:18:15.120 --> 03:18:18.120 far. Are we liable for, you know, if the 03:18:19.120 --> 03:18:21.736 lease is unable to be fulfilled due to 03:18:21.760 --> 03:18:24.375 flooding or saltwater intrusion or storm 03:18:24.399 --> 03:18:27.399 surges or some other unforeseen um you 03:18:27.840 --> 03:18:30.840 know change in the environment 03:18:34.800 --> 03:18:36.936 through you may and thank you councelor 03:18:36.960 --> 03:18:39.176 Halliday for that question. Um, in 03:18:39.200 --> 03:18:42.200 relation to um the the climate um 03:18:43.600 --> 03:18:46.215 changes that that we experience, we are 03:18:46.239 --> 03:18:48.056 increasingly looking at what those risks 03:18:48.080 --> 03:18:50.616 and actions um could be around our 03:18:50.640 --> 03:18:52.215 assets. And in this case, we're talking 03:18:52.239 --> 03:18:54.856 about a building asset um that that 03:18:54.880 --> 03:18:57.576 needs renewal under its current lease. 03:18:57.600 --> 03:19:00.600 And um what we would propose to mitigate 03:19:01.359 --> 03:19:04.359 this in a future lease is a a force 03:19:04.960 --> 03:19:07.960 measure clause which would um reduce 03:19:08.720 --> 03:19:10.776 liability or eliminate liability on 03:19:10.800 --> 03:19:13.800 either party if an event um of such a 03:19:14.000 --> 03:19:17.000 nature was to to impact the asset. Um, 03:19:18.479 --> 03:19:19.896 essentially what that means is that 03:19:19.920 --> 03:19:22.056 either party could walk away from their 03:19:22.080 --> 03:19:25.080 obligations under the lease if a um a 03:19:26.239 --> 03:19:29.239 severe event such as um sea level rising 03:19:29.680 --> 03:19:31.255 causing flooding was to occur and 03:19:31.279 --> 03:19:34.279 prevent um continued obligations under 03:19:34.479 --> 03:19:37.479 the lease um from from um being 03:19:38.080 --> 03:19:40.536 fulfilled. What we'd also be looking to 03:19:40.560 --> 03:19:42.696 incorporate as part of that clause are 03:19:42.720 --> 03:19:45.720 climate change event definitions. Um, so 03:19:46.239 --> 03:19:48.375 specifically, we'd be listing 03:19:48.399 --> 03:19:51.096 occurrences such as flooding from sea 03:19:51.120 --> 03:19:54.120 level rise, extreme heat stress, or 03:19:54.319 --> 03:19:56.856 supply chain, disruptions that can 03:19:56.880 --> 03:19:59.576 be caused by environmental degradation 03:19:59.600 --> 03:20:02.600 such as what you're referring to. 03:20:03.279 --> 03:20:06.279 Any further questions for officers? 03:20:08.000 --> 03:20:09.335 Councelor, hello. 03:20:09.359 --> 03:20:11.415 Given that we have other other um leased 03:20:11.439 --> 03:20:14.295 assets along the um along the foreshore, 03:20:14.319 --> 03:20:16.215 do we envisage incorporating those same 03:20:16.239 --> 03:20:18.215 sorts of provisions into the leases for 03:20:18.239 --> 03:20:19.335 those assets? 03:20:19.359 --> 03:20:21.656 Yes, we do. 03:20:21.680 --> 03:20:23.576 Any further questions for council 03:20:23.600 --> 03:20:26.375 officers to this item? 03:20:26.399 --> 03:20:27.656 Was that another question? 03:20:27.680 --> 03:20:30.680 Sure. um in in consideration for this 03:20:31.120 --> 03:20:34.120 lease extension, did we consider the the 03:20:34.160 --> 03:20:36.936 climate risks of this particular site 03:20:36.960 --> 03:20:39.960 and did we review those and assess them? 03:20:40.239 --> 03:20:42.295 Yes, under our asset plans, we're 03:20:42.319 --> 03:20:44.455 increasingly reviewing what those risks 03:20:44.479 --> 03:20:47.479 are and um for for all of our sites um 03:20:48.239 --> 03:20:50.455 we are continuously doing that. So as 03:20:50.479 --> 03:20:53.479 part of this proposal that was discussed 03:20:54.160 --> 03:20:57.160 further questions for this item 03:20:58.399 --> 03:20:59.656 councelor Heler. 03:20:59.680 --> 03:21:01.496 Sure. No one else is asking questions so 03:21:01.520 --> 03:21:04.056 I'll keep going. Um 03:21:04.080 --> 03:21:06.375 there's reference in the plans to the to 03:21:06.399 --> 03:21:09.255 the red line and extending the red 03:21:09.279 --> 03:21:11.976 line of the leased area. Does this 03:21:12.000 --> 03:21:15.000 proposal expand the footprint of 03:21:15.279 --> 03:21:17.816 Donovans on the foreshore 03:21:17.840 --> 03:21:20.840 beyond its existing lease area? 03:21:21.520 --> 03:21:23.816 yes, through you may it does slightly 03:21:23.840 --> 03:21:26.616 increase um out to the side the lease 03:21:26.640 --> 03:21:29.640 area. 03:21:29.840 --> 03:21:32.056 Any further questions? 03:21:32.080 --> 03:21:35.080 Councelor Tamman, 03:21:36.479 --> 03:21:38.936 do they do they need a planning permit 03:21:38.960 --> 03:21:40.696 for to do the thing? And has the 03:21:40.720 --> 03:21:42.936 planning permit been issued already? 03:21:42.960 --> 03:21:44.856 yes, the planning permit has been 03:21:44.880 --> 03:21:47.415 applied for and granted and works did 03:21:47.439 --> 03:21:50.439 actually commence last week on site. 03:21:51.200 --> 03:21:54.200 Any further questions? 03:21:55.279 --> 03:21:58.279 Oh, sorry, Deputy Mayor May. 03:21:59.600 --> 03:22:02.600 thank you, Mayor Min. Um as it has 03:22:03.200 --> 03:22:04.936 been said, 03:22:04.960 --> 03:22:07.016 you should always take caution with 03:22:07.040 --> 03:22:08.936 making predictions, especially about the 03:22:08.960 --> 03:22:11.960 future. However, I understand that or is 03:22:12.960 --> 03:22:15.960 it typical for a lease term such as 03:22:16.080 --> 03:22:19.080 suggested here this is not out of the 03:22:19.279 --> 03:22:21.176 ordinary for a business such as 03:22:21.200 --> 03:22:23.496 Donovan's no matter where they are, 03:22:23.520 --> 03:22:26.520 waterfront or other ways expect or 03:22:27.200 --> 03:22:29.496 anticipate this sort of term. It's not 03:22:29.520 --> 03:22:31.415 out of the ordinary. 03:22:31.439 --> 03:22:33.496 through you, Mayor. Yes, that is 03:22:33.520 --> 03:22:35.656 correct. It's not out of the ordinary 03:22:35.680 --> 03:22:37.576 and our policy certainly makes 03:22:37.600 --> 03:22:40.600 provisions for us to um grant up to a 03:22:41.200 --> 03:22:43.816 21-year term like this, particularly 03:22:43.840 --> 03:22:46.840 where there is capital investment and an 03:22:47.040 --> 03:22:49.656 opportunity to amatize is required over 03:22:49.680 --> 03:22:52.680 the the duration of the lease. 03:22:54.720 --> 03:22:56.936 through you ma'am. I just add 03:22:56.960 --> 03:22:59.896 um there are some there are some 03:22:59.920 --> 03:23:01.896 differences because of the the nature of 03:23:01.920 --> 03:23:04.616 the location that it's forshore location 03:23:04.640 --> 03:23:07.640 on crown land means there's um 03:23:08.399 --> 03:23:11.399 additional requirements and leasing 03:23:12.160 --> 03:23:14.136 conditions what you'd normally see under 03:23:14.160 --> 03:23:16.056 a retail lease for instance which is 03:23:16.080 --> 03:23:18.776 what a um a restaurant like this might 03:23:18.800 --> 03:23:21.335 normally operate under. um they've 03:23:21.359 --> 03:23:23.656 sought the 21 years there to get it 03:23:23.680 --> 03:23:25.496 they've had to demonstrate a significant 03:23:25.520 --> 03:23:27.415 capital contribution. 03:23:27.439 --> 03:23:30.439 Um under a retail lease it might be a 5 03:23:30.479 --> 03:23:33.479 plus 5 plus 5 or um so in a in a 03:23:34.720 --> 03:23:37.656 non-cancouncil governmentowned location 03:23:37.680 --> 03:23:39.016 like this they might be a little bit 03:23:39.040 --> 03:23:42.040 different um but the the lease suits 03:23:44.160 --> 03:23:45.976 the legislation that governs these 03:23:46.000 --> 03:23:49.000 areas. 03:23:49.680 --> 03:23:51.976 Councelor Tamman, 03:23:52.000 --> 03:23:53.335 can I maybe make a point of 03:23:53.359 --> 03:23:55.816 clarification and say that the seabbash 03:23:55.840 --> 03:23:57.415 just got another 30 or 40 years 03:23:57.439 --> 03:23:58.856 extension on their lease through the 03:23:58.880 --> 03:24:01.335 state government. So obviously this is 03:24:01.359 --> 03:24:01.816 not 03:24:01.840 --> 03:24:02.776 that's a question. 03:24:02.800 --> 03:24:04.375 No, I'm just saying you know it is not 03:24:04.399 --> 03:24:06.455 unusual because the state because the 03:24:06.479 --> 03:24:08.856 seab just got a huge extension on their 03:24:08.880 --> 03:24:09.656 lease 03:24:09.680 --> 03:24:12.680 through you may not unusual in terms of 03:24:13.200 --> 03:24:16.200 um a lease on crown land for this type 03:24:16.800 --> 03:24:19.096 of business. Um we've got a number of 03:24:19.120 --> 03:24:21.896 them in the sea of Port Phillip along 03:24:21.920 --> 03:24:24.536 the foreshore for around the 21 years 15 03:24:24.560 --> 03:24:27.560 21 I think the stoke house was 30 or 03:24:28.239 --> 03:24:31.239 35 um but in responding to council 03:24:32.319 --> 03:24:34.215 deputy Mayor M's question he asked about 03:24:34.239 --> 03:24:36.776 it not only on on the foreshore and 03:24:36.800 --> 03:24:38.295 local government area but also more 03:24:38.319 --> 03:24:40.776 broadly more broadly the leases would be 03:24:40.800 --> 03:24:41.976 a little bit different but you could 03:24:42.000 --> 03:24:43.896 still have a long-term lease but it' 03:24:43.920 --> 03:24:46.920 usually be under a retail lease. Any 03:24:48.160 --> 03:24:51.160 further questions? 03:24:52.720 --> 03:24:55.720 No further. move councelor Thomann 03:24:56.800 --> 03:24:59.800 seconded by councelor Hardy. 03:25:00.640 --> 03:25:03.640 Does the mover wish to speak? 03:25:04.479 --> 03:25:07.479 well in my previous term we did a 03:25:09.439 --> 03:25:12.439 private treaty with Donovans and um 03:25:12.800 --> 03:25:15.335 because they were a good operator 03:25:15.359 --> 03:25:17.496 successful you know they give Sinilda 03:25:17.520 --> 03:25:20.520 and the foreshore a good name um 03:25:20.560 --> 03:25:22.616 unfortunately 03:25:22.640 --> 03:25:25.415 Mr. Donovan is no longer with us. but 03:25:25.439 --> 03:25:28.056 u his manager at the time has carried 03:25:28.080 --> 03:25:31.080 the the flame and it is still a very 03:25:31.279 --> 03:25:33.496 successful restaurant and what they want 03:25:33.520 --> 03:25:36.295 to do is providing private dining 03:25:36.319 --> 03:25:38.295 room that actually we don't actually 03:25:38.319 --> 03:25:41.319 have in St Kilda to have something. So I 03:25:41.760 --> 03:25:44.455 think it's for the attraction 03:25:44.479 --> 03:25:47.479 to um to St Kilda and the city of 03:25:47.840 --> 03:25:50.215 Port Phillip. it's for them to be 03:25:50.239 --> 03:25:53.176 spending nearly $2 million to provide 03:25:53.200 --> 03:25:55.496 something that we actually haven't got 03:25:55.520 --> 03:25:57.335 and that will be a great asset to the 03:25:57.359 --> 03:25:59.976 city and obviously eventually we will 03:26:00.000 --> 03:26:02.455 take over that asset in you know it will 03:26:02.479 --> 03:26:05.176 take a few years but it will take so 03:26:05.200 --> 03:26:07.415 I think it's a great um you know a great 03:26:07.439 --> 03:26:10.439 initiative I think originally 03:26:10.960 --> 03:26:13.016 the plan was to have a fish and chips 03:26:13.040 --> 03:26:16.040 a little fish and chips next to it um as 03:26:16.319 --> 03:26:19.319 part of their investment that $1.3 03:26:20.319 --> 03:26:21.896 um million dollars that they had to to 03:26:21.920 --> 03:26:24.920 invest in the previous lease that was um 03:26:25.040 --> 03:26:28.040 aborted in 2000 in 2010. Mr. Carol, you 03:26:28.479 --> 03:26:30.375 remember saying you were there at the 03:26:30.399 --> 03:26:32.616 time? Um 03:26:32.640 --> 03:26:35.640 so a lot of lot of water has gone over 03:26:35.840 --> 03:26:38.840 under the bridge. But but I think you 03:26:39.120 --> 03:26:40.856 know as I said I think it's a great it's 03:26:40.880 --> 03:26:43.415 it's great that a business a successful 03:26:43.439 --> 03:26:45.496 business is prepared to spend all that 03:26:45.520 --> 03:26:48.520 money to improve um a facility that is 03:26:48.560 --> 03:26:51.335 owned by council and again something 03:26:51.359 --> 03:26:53.255 that actually doesn't exist in the city. 03:26:53.279 --> 03:26:56.279 So um I support the recommendation. 03:26:57.200 --> 03:26:59.576 The mover has spoken. Does the second 03:26:59.600 --> 03:27:01.896 council Hardy wish to speak? 03:27:01.920 --> 03:27:04.375 Yes. U we talk about culture supporting 03:27:04.399 --> 03:27:06.295 diversity and the arts. Well, 03:27:06.319 --> 03:27:09.255 restaurants in this city of Port Phillip 03:27:09.279 --> 03:27:11.656 are a great draw card for people outside 03:27:11.680 --> 03:27:13.896 the area and also inside the area. And 03:27:13.920 --> 03:27:15.736 the diversity of our restaurants is 03:27:15.760 --> 03:27:18.760 immense. I know that Donovan's in 03:27:18.880 --> 03:27:20.455 Middle Park, not Donovan, sorry, the 03:27:20.479 --> 03:27:22.295 European in Middle Park attracts a lot 03:27:22.319 --> 03:27:23.656 of local people where we can get 03:27:23.680 --> 03:27:26.056 together, have a few wines, have a meal, 03:27:26.080 --> 03:27:29.080 etc. Although there might be only a 03:27:29.120 --> 03:27:30.616 certain part of our population that 03:27:30.640 --> 03:27:33.016 could afford to dine at Donovan's, but 03:27:33.040 --> 03:27:35.176 Donovans is there for us as well. So, I 03:27:35.200 --> 03:27:37.176 fully support this long lease and 03:27:37.200 --> 03:27:39.415 hopefully we can support Donovan's 03:27:39.439 --> 03:27:41.576 and other restaurants like it as well as 03:27:41.600 --> 03:27:43.816 the restaurant that I was lucky enough 03:27:43.840 --> 03:27:45.976 to dine in with a few of my council of 03:27:46.000 --> 03:27:47.736 colleagues which was noisy. We were 03:27:47.760 --> 03:27:49.896 squashed near the corners but the food 03:27:49.920 --> 03:27:52.776 was great. Um and I really really really 03:27:52.800 --> 03:27:54.776 want to support these restaurants. Thank 03:27:54.800 --> 03:27:56.856 you. 03:27:56.880 --> 03:27:59.880 Any other counselors wish to speak? 03:28:00.960 --> 03:28:03.960 In which case does the move go sorry 03:28:04.800 --> 03:28:07.800 councelor Halliday 03:28:11.040 --> 03:28:14.040 um I'm happy to support restaurants 03:28:15.040 --> 03:28:17.576 but in this particular case what I don't 03:28:17.600 --> 03:28:20.600 support is the further encroachment of 03:28:21.200 --> 03:28:24.200 commercial interests onto public land. 03:28:25.359 --> 03:28:28.359 um this continual erosion of the public 03:28:28.880 --> 03:28:31.255 realm through enclosure through these 03:28:31.279 --> 03:28:34.279 longer leases.

We see this everywhere. We 03:28:53.359 --> 03:28:55.656 have limited public space here.

And I 03:29:40.560 --> 03:29:42.776 would love more of these leases in our 03:29:42.800 --> 03:29:45.335 community buildings.

So I will 03:29:56.960 --> 03:29:59.960 absolutely support this tonight. Um um 03:30:01.520 --> 03:30:03.096 although it is not somewhere where 03:30:03.120 --> 03:30:05.736 everyone dies, it is a destination place 03:30:05.760 --> 03:30:08.760 and it does bring all sorts of diverse 03:30:08.800 --> 03:30:11.800 people to our foreshore and maybe 03:30:11.920 --> 03:30:14.295 even someone that can afford to buy a 03:30:14.319 --> 03:30:17.319 marina or rent a marina. So I will 03:30:17.840 --> 03:30:20.136 support this. 03:30:20.160 --> 03:30:21.816 Thank you councelor Jay. Any other 03:30:21.840 --> 03:30:24.840 counselors wish to speak? 03:30:27.120 --> 03:30:29.415 I am not seeing any further indication 03:30:29.439 --> 03:30:31.736 of speakers. In which case does the 03:30:31.760 --> 03:30:34.536 mover wish to close? 03:30:34.560 --> 03:30:36.295 I just would like to respond to council 03:30:36.319 --> 03:30:38.696 holiday. The little space that's taken 03:30:38.720 --> 03:30:41.255 is that space between Donovan's and the 03:30:41.279 --> 03:30:43.255 life-saving club. You know, it's not 03:30:43.279 --> 03:30:45.096 really, 03:30:45.120 --> 03:30:47.496 you know, it's not even grass. It's 03:30:47.520 --> 03:30:49.656 concrete. It's the, you know, where the 03:30:49.680 --> 03:30:51.656 rubbish bins are. You know, the the bins 03:30:51.680 --> 03:30:52.936 are there and stuff. So, I actually 03:30:52.960 --> 03:30:55.016 think, you know, I'm I agree with you. 03:30:55.040 --> 03:30:57.496 we shouldn't be taking over public 03:30:57.520 --> 03:31:00.520 land but this public land is not quite 03:31:01.040 --> 03:31:02.856 you know it's not really something 03:31:02.880 --> 03:31:05.880 that valuable so um you know let's you 03:31:06.080 --> 03:31:08.375 know as I said let's support a business 03:31:08.399 --> 03:31:11.399 that is prepared to take a big risk for 03:31:11.439 --> 03:31:14.215 the next 21 years whatever and and 03:31:14.239 --> 03:31:15.816 provide something that we actually 03:31:15.840 --> 03:31:18.136 haven't got in the city of Port Philip 03:31:18.160 --> 03:31:20.776 so maybe one day we can have a kind of a 03:31:20.800 --> 03:31:23.800 my 70th birthday day or something but 03:31:26.640 --> 03:31:29.640 the motion has been closed and we 03:31:30.479 --> 03:31:33.479 will put the motion.
