Report for February 2019.
Cr Mann queried if there was any additional information in relation to the dumping of
the volatile organic compounds and if public education is necessary.
The Director Engineering and Commercial Infrastructure (DECI) advised chemicals
were incorrectly disposed into the sewer network and when staff investigated a
complaint they were exposed and upon investigation the source was unable to be
located within the network. The process is being reviewed to ensure the safety of
Council's staff.
Cr Mann queried if there could be a public education advising the risk to Council's
staff.
The CEO advised Council will discuss this matter with Queensland Police Service
(QPS) initially.
Cr Camm queried the progress of the Mirani WRF Upgrade project.
The CEO advised the tender for this project was delayed and there are sharing of
resources with Whitsunday Regional Council for the project management and this has

downstream from the uncontrolled release.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61405
The DECI advised the water release because of the monsoon low in February 2019
caused some issues with the surface water management at the site. When there is a
release the environment is monitored, and the risk will be managed going forward with
controlled releases.
Cr Bonaventura queried if the first release exceeded any guidelines.
The DECI advised the first release was not a controlled release it was as a result of
rainfall and storage capacity and would circulate the relevant data to Councillors.

and are working very hard on putting in place processes to reduce these types of
incidents.
Cr Camm queried if the revegetation and fencing at Midge Point and Lamberts Beach
projects will be undertaken as part of the contracts and if there has been engagement
with the communities.
The CEO advised the revegetation and maintenance of the projects are built into the
contracts and handed over to Council's Parks team after three (3) months of
maintenance by the contractor. The Midge Point Progress Association have been
consulted and they are keen to be involved. Community engagement has not
commenced with the Lamberts Beach community yet, but this will occur.
Cr Camm queried if the species being used will be aligned with other Coastal
Management Plans.
The CEO confirmed that he believed that the species being used are in line with
Council's Coastal Management Plans, however would confirm.
Cr Camm queried if additional information about vegetation of these two (2) projects
could be circulated to Councillors.
The CEO advised he would circulated this information to Councillors.
Cr Mann commented in relation to the Lamberts Beach revegetation that Irene
Champion is very active within that community and is an expert on native plants.

11.5 PETITION REPORT - REQUEST FOR COURT FACILITIES IN
NORTHVIEW GARDENS PARK
Author Parks Planning Coordinator
Purpose
To provide Council with officer recommendations in relation to a petition requesting
that a basketball court be installed next to Northview Gardens Glenella Park.
Related Parties
• Petitioners (as per Attachment 1)
Background/Discussion
Council received a ‘Petition for a Basketball Court Next to Northview Gardens
Glenella Park’ as reported at the ordinary meeting on 14 November 2018. At this
meeting, Council resolved:
THAT the petition be received and referred to the Chief Executive Officer for a
report to be prepared for consideration by Council's which investigates the
issues
identified within the petition.
FURTHER THAT the principle petitioner be advised of Council's
determination.
Moved Cr Camm Seconded
Cr Gee
The matter was referred to Parks, Environment and Sustainability (PE&S) for
investigation.
PE&S identified that the park named in the petition as ‘Northview Gardens Glenella
Park’ is Northview Park located in Glenella. In preparing this report, officers have
referred to the following:
• Recreational Open Space Strategy for the Mackay Region 2018 (Open Space
Strategy); and
• Planning Scheme Policy: SC.6.16 Open Space (Open Space Policy).
Northview Park
Northview Park, which incorporates Northview Lagoon Reserve, has been
developed as a district park. In accordance with the Open Space Policy, district
recreation parks are intended to provide outdoor recreation opportunities and
encourage extended stay (longer than 3 hours) through the provision of
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61410
embellishments including larger active play areas. Embellishments and/or
infrastructure supporting recreation opportunities are to be located and clustered in
areas with a high-level of public exposure to ensure access and attract users to the
park. The service catchment for a district recreational park are residents living
within a 2km travel radius.
As illustrated below in Figure 1, Northview Park is connected to the surrounding
residential area by two adjoining linear parks. These function as an extension to the
district park. Combined the parks provide 3.8 hectares of recreational open space.
Because of the multiple road frontages and walkway connections, this parkland
enjoys a high-level of public exposure and is easily accessed from the surrounding
residential area.
Figure 1: Aerial view of Northview Park
Northview Park has an established playground. In addition to providing a range of
play equipment catering to all ages of children (0 to 14 years), this area of the park
offers access to covered picnic shelters, BBQ facilities and public toilets. The
playground is serviced by two carparks. One is located beside the playground on
Royal Boulevard. The other is on Vassallo Drive. This second carpark is connected
by a shared path to the playground area. Combined, these two carparks provide
parking for fourteen vehicles. Ample on-street parking is also available along
Schapers Road. This area of the district recreation park is also serviced by
Mackay’s public transport network, with Translink Bus Route 306 (Canelands
Shopping Centre to Glenella) stopping along Schapers Road close to the corner of
Royal Boulevard.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61411
The layout of the children’s playground area is shown below in Figure 2. The
playground currently attracts a high-level of use and has become a popular location for
children’s parties and other informal family gatherings. The playground is however in
need of renewal. The majority of the play equipment requires replacement due to its
age and physical condition. The roof of the shade shelter protecting the small children’s
play equipment also needs replacing. It is recommended that Council considers funding
the renewal of the playground equipment within Northview Park as part of the 2019/20
budget process.
Figure 2: Aerial showing the existing playground area and its connection around the Lagoon feature
through to Vassallo Drive.
Justification for basketball court
Because Northview Park is a district recreational park and given the role of this higher
order park asset, it is arguable that expanding the recreational opportunities already
provided in the park to include a basketball court would be beneficial. This type of
recreational activity would attract use by older children, teenagers and adults. While
there is ample open space in the park that can be used for more active forms of
recreation, apart from the children’s play equipment, there are no structured active
recreation activities in the park suitable for use by other age groups.
A summary of the current provision of informal youth infrastructure maintained by
Council in recreational parks (excluding sports parks) has been provided as Attachment
2. At present there is little in the way of informal sporting or exercise-type facilities
available in Mount Pleasant or Glenella. The nearest facilities of this type to Northview
Park is the cricket oval in Tolcher Park. The next closest would be at the Sugar Bowl
located in the Norris Road Sports Reserve in Beaconsfield. While there is a half

basketball court in Jardine Drive Park in Erakala, this park is not readily accessible by
those living in areas to the north of the Bruce Highway. In terms of formal sporting
and/or commercially run recreation activities, the nearest venues, which include the
water park, gymnastic centre and BMX club, are located in Beaconsfield. The local
schools in the Mount Pleasant area do have sports courts and other types of active
recreational facilities, however these are not currently available for use by the public.
The performance standards for district recreational parks as outlined in Open Space
Policy does not mandate the inclusion of sport infrastructure such as a basketball court,
nor does it preclude this type of infrastructure being provided. However, providing
additional recreational infrastructure in Northview Park is not considered a priority at
present. Council’s focus, as guided by the Open Space Strategy, is addressing the
deficiency in the supply of district-level parks needed to service the region. The more
urgent need from an infrastructure perspective for North View Park is to replace the
aged play equipment in the existing playground area.
It is noted that the Open Space Strategy does not provide guidance on the district
recreational parks that should be upgraded to include infrastructure such as a multi-
purpose court, taking into account the needs and demographics of the areas within
which those parks are located. Officers will review the current Open Space Strategy
and consider how it can provide this guidance to Council.
Location and design
If Council was to install an outdoor sports court in Northview Park, it is recommended
that the court be developed adjacent to the playground. By developing the court in this
location, users of the court can also share the range of public amenities already
provided in this area of the park as previously mentioned. This would also meet the
performance criteria requirement outlined in the Open Space Policy that states that
infrastructure supporting recreational opportunities should be clustered in areas with
high level public exposure.
Adequate space is available on the south-eastern side of the playground for the new
court. This area of the park has a level topography and is clear of vegetation. There is
also sufficient space to accommodate either a half or full-size court; and for the court to
be orientated with a preferred north-south alignment (see Figure 3 below).
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61413
Figure 3 – Possible location for the new court.
It is important to note that only part of what may appear to be vacant parkland fronting
Schaper Road is available for the court’s development. As indicated in Figures 2 and 3,
Lot 15 is a privately-owned allotment which has yet to be developed. If a new court is
to be installed in the recommended location, consideration will need to be given to the
court’s positioning to ensure adequate clearance to the shared property boundary.
Sufficient space to the boundary is also desirable to enable screening to be retrofitted in
the future should there be the need to ameliorate noise or other disturbance impacts
generated by the court’s use when Lot 15 is eventually developed. The court should be
setback not less than 15 metres to the shared boundary and not less than 6 metres from
the park’s boundary to Schaper Road.
In preference to providing a court for a single sport (i.e. basketball only), it is
recommended that any new facility be designed to cater to multiple sports to increase
the attraction and use of the infrastructure. If the court is positioned close to Schapers
Road and to the adjoining vacant allotment, it would be desirable for the court to be
fully enclosed to contain balls but also prevent children from running onto the adjacent
road. This would have the added benefit of also making the court suitable for futsal (i.e.
court-based soccer).
Consideration could also be given to lighting the court to enable its use during the early
evenings when the temperature is more conducive to active sports. The existing
playground and its associated picnic facilities as well as the public toilets are already lit.
Estimated cost
A range of the court configurations and outfitting options is possible. For the purposes
of this report, the more expensive multi-sports type court has been considered. The
cost to install either a half-size or full-size multi-sports court has been identified in the
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61414
following table. In addition to the actual court, works to enable the new court to be
physical linked and/or integrated into the existing playground area have also been
identified and costed. The costs include construction and project-related costs as well as
a 30% project contingency. Appendix 2 provides a detailed summary of the cost
estimate for delivery of both a half and full-size multi-sports court with associated
works.
Possible Court Sizes

$ 170,117.00
Full-size concrete basketball court including multi-sports ends and associated

$ 306,978.00
Annual Operating Costs
The annual operational cost to service a hard-court facility like a basketball court with
multi-sports ends, assuming the playing surface is constructed in concrete, is estimated
below. The anticipated operational life of this type of infrastructure is 15 years. Over
this period of the court’s operational lifespan, it expected that the court’s line marking
will need to be re-painted three times. The customised ends will also require some
repair and repainting at least once during this period. If lighting is provided additional
costs would be incurred.

Recommended Option
There is merit in installing a basketball court with multi-sports ends in Northview Park
and it would undoubtedly be beneficial and used by residents. However, the overall
capital cost of the project is $305,970 which is unbudgeted, and at present,
development of additional sports infrastructure in this location is not a priority. The
more urgent need in terms of infrastructure provision for Northview Park is to replace
the existing play equipment.
The existing playground equipment at the Park should be renewed and the renewal of
the playground equipment has already been listed as a project in Council’s Works for
Queensland 2019-2021 funding application.
Consultation and Communication
There has been no consultation with residents regarding the proposed renewal of
playground equipment at Northview Park. Should Council wish to proceed with
renewing this equipment, PE&S recommend that consultation is undertaken with
nearby residents and those involved in the petition in relation to what renewal works
need to be undertaken prior to developing additional built infrastructure within the park.
Resource Implications
Funding has been sought as part of the Works for Queensland 2019-2021 round for
renewal of the existing aged play equipment.
Risk Management Implications
The project presents few potential risks for Council in proceeding with the renewal of
the playground equipment.
Risks with proceeding with the installation of a new basketball court would include
resistance from neighbouring residents who may oppose the development and the
setting of a precedent that Council is willing to install basketball court facilities on
require in recreational parks.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61416
Conclusion
Construction of a full-size basketball court with multi-sports ends in Northview Park is
not a priority for Council at this time. Rather than developing additional infrastructure
in this park, the more urgent need is to replace the aged play equipment and shade
structure protecting the small children’s play equipment in the existing playground. It
is confirmed that funding for this project has been made within the recently submitted
Works for Queensland 2019-2021 funding round.
Officer's Recommendation
THAT Council confirms that the renewal of playground infrastructure in
Northview Park has been submitted as part of the Works for Queensland 2019-
2021 funding round.
AND THAT the principal petitioner and all signatories to the petition be advised
that a basketball court will not be installed in Northview Park at this time, but that
improving the existing playground equipment has been submitted as a project
under the Works for Queensland 2019-2021 funding round.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) spoke to the report.
Cr Gee advised he would like to raise a Procedural Motion to lay this report on the table
for Councillors to obtain more information relating to Parks Budget prioritisation, and
after the briefing to Council on the Parks Master Plan on 10 April 2019.

Purpose
To seek confirmation for Cr Fran Mann and Cr Karen May to attend the Australian
Heritage Festival - 2019 Queensland Launch to be held in Brisbane on 3 April 2019.
Related Parties
Nil.
Background/Discussion
Cr Fran Mann is the Chairperson and Cr Karen May is a committee member for the
Character and Heritage Advisory Committee (CHAC). The CHAC is responsible for
identifying and advising Council on current and emerging heritage issues and
opportunities within Mackay Regional Council, and the community. Cr May is also the
chair of the Combined Museums Committee which demonstrates linkages to the
CHAC. Many committee members participate on both committees, and the formation
of a regional heritage trail would include our regional museums as points of interest.
The Australian Heritage Festival - 2019 Queensland Launch will host a keynote
presentation on ‘The Vitality of Heritage: People and the Future’. Keynote Speaker
Professor John Schofield, will speak on the topic 'The Vitality of Heritage: People and
the Future’. Heritage is no longer a constraint but an opportunity, for better social
integration, for the adaptation and use of redundant historic sites and places, for
economic growth, and for vitality within places and their communities. If used
correctly, and when broadly defined, heritage becomes a catalyst for change and a vital
part of people's identity, while promoting cohesion and well-being.
The learnings from this event will be presented back to CHAC at the next meeting
scheduled for 12 April 2019.
Consultation and Communication
Discussions have been held between the Director Development Services, Chief
Executive Officer as well as with the relevant Councillors.
Resource Implications
The total cost will be in the vicinity of $1,100 combined, including event tickets, return
flights, accommodation, transportation and meal costs. This will be borne by the
Councillor budget within the Office of the Mayor and CEO.

It will be of value to Mackay Regional Council for Cr Fran Mann and Cr Karen May to
attend the Australian Heritage Festival - 2019 Queensland Launch in Brisbane on 3
April 2019 to keep abreast of latest trends and developments in this area, and to act as a
conduit for information on heritage issues at a State level for the CHAC.

11.8 STRATEGIC FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF
FEBRUARY 2019
Author Director Organisational Services
Purpose
To adopt council’s Strategic Financial Report for the month of February 2019.
Related Parties
Nil.
Background/Discussion
Under Part 9, section 204 of the Local Government Regulation 2012, the Local
Government is required to prepare a financial report which the Chief Executive Officer
presents at a meeting of the local government once a month.
The financial report must state the progress that has been made in relation to the local
government’s budget for the period of the financial year up to a day as near as
practicable to the end of the month before the meeting is held.
Consultation and Communication
Chief Executive Officer, Directors, Manager Financial Services.
Resource Implications
Council continues to forecast a small operating surplus of ~$400k for the 2018/19
financial year.
Risk Management Implications
No significant risks have been identified to date with variances continuing to be closely
monitored as delivery of the budget progresses.
Conclusion
A favourable operating result was achieved at the end of February, with Council
reporting a surplus $813K above YTD estimates, following the adoption of the
December budget review during the period. This is primarily the result of higher than
expected revenue from community water usage, and fees and charges, in addition to
lower than forecast payments to suppliers for goods and services. It is however
expected that expenditure will align with forecasts as delivery of the budget progresses.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61422
Delivery of capital budget is on track, with capital expenditure achieving 96% of the
forecast YTD budget spend. Noting this includes adjustments for accrued expenditure.
Officer's Recommendation
THAT the attached Strategic Financial Report for the month of February 2019 be
adopted.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) spoke to the report and provided an overview of
the Strategic Financial Report for the month of February 2019.
Cr May queried the Capital Expenditure result for the month and what is included in
accruals.
The CEO advised Council includes accruals on projects, with the definition of
"accruals" being only work that has been completed and not yet invoiced and or paid.
The Director of Organisational Services (DOS) advised 58% Capital Expenditure is a
percentage of the total budget for the year and 96% is the forecasted percentage for the
year to date budget.
The Mayor requested this information be presented differently in future reports.
The Director of Capital Works (DCW) confirmed the accruals are only for work that
has been completed and not paid for.
Cr Paton queried what the unfavourable variance for the month of $222K was.
The DOS advised it related to Council's remediation provisions and future liability for
quarries and waste sites and relates to the time value of money.
Cr Walker queried if the investment of Council's funds are being affected by the
changing interest rates.
The CEO advised Council's investments are being affected with the lower interest rates
and this will adversely affect Council's revenue interest on cash holdings.

11.9 PROPOSED LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORMS AND LGAQ
GENERAL MEETING MOTIONS
Author Chief Executive Officer
Purpose
This report is to update Council on the latest proposed local government reforms by the
Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs (DLGRMA), and
confirm Council views to enable voting on the matter at an upcoming General Meeting
of the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ).
Related Parties
• DLGRMA
• LGAQ
Background/Discussion
On the back of the Belcarra Report the Queensland State Government through the
Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs (DLGRMA) is
pursuing a rolling reform agenda in the local government sector. Key changes to date
by DLGRMA include –
• Introducing a uniform Code of Conduct for Councillors in Queensland
• Model meeting procedures for meeting behaviour
• Amendment of the publicly available Councillor conduct register
• Creation of the Office of the Independent Assessor
• New annual report requirements.
As part of the latest component of the reform process the DLGRMA is proposing
further reforms including –
• Compulsory preferential voting
• Compulsory candidate training
• Proportional representation in undivided councils
• Tighter regulation of discretionary funds
• Campaign spending caps
• Clarification of Conflict of Interest and Material Personal Interest provisions.
The details of these proposed reforms are set-out in an information paper titled “Local
Government Reforms – Key amendments currently under consideration – March 2019”.
A copy of this information paper is publicly available on the DLGRMA web-site, with
a copy attached to this report for information.
Local government is used to changing legislative processes that guide operations. In the
main whilst maybe somewhat administratively burdensome, most changes have a clear
positive intent and outcome. Within the latest proposed changes are a range of
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61424
recommendations that it is suggested Council should have no major issues with (ie
changes to reporting requirements for candidates, mandatory training for intending
candidates, and processes for filling of vacant Councillor roles), however some
recommended changes would appear to have an impact not only on Councils, but also
the general voting community. Some also do not appear to have a clear link to the
Belcarra Report and other related reports (ie compulsory preferential/proportional
voting, ability for a candidate to stand as both Mayor and Councillor, and public
funding of election campaigns).
It is important to note that the information paper does not include a standard
submission or feedback timeframe. The DLGRMA is holding webinars and information
sessions, however there is no formal feedback process listed within the information
paper, nor the opportunity other than those directly consulted to be involved. In
particular, the community at large has not been invited to comment. It is noted that
Redland City Council has publicly called for the State to consult with the community as
part of any proposed changes.
For local government the LGAQ is taking the lead in reviewing and providing
comments back to the DLGRMA, and in fact have a General Meeting called for 2 April
2019 where each Council may nominate two (2) representatives to act on their behalf
with voting rights regarding a number of motions proposed related to the proposed
reform changes.
The LGAQ has listed ten (10) motions and is seeking direction from the seventy-seven
(77) Councils in Queensland. Having reviewed the proposed motions, and having had
the opportunity to workshop the motions with Councillors at a briefing session, the
motions are listed below including recommended comment/position for each.
It is fair to say that the most significant change for Mackay is that of compulsory
preferential/proportional voting given that this Council operates under an un-divided
basis (ie without electoral divisions). Currently ‘optional preferential voting’ is
undertaken in Councils with Councillor divisions, with ‘first past the post’ operating for
undivided Councils (such as Mackay). Whilst practically for voters this is not a major
undertaking for Mayoral voting with usually a smaller number of candidates, for
Councillor voting for the 2016 election there were thirty-seven (37) candidates meaning
that each voter will be required to number 1- 37 on the ballot paper. Proportional voting
methods are also not clear from the information provided, and may be complicated for
the general public to understand.
Also, regarding outcomes, preferential voting (as opposed to first past the post), is more
aligned with the State and Federal process where voters would be used to candidates
being ahead at a certain part of the count, however this being subject to allocation of
‘preferences’, which depending on how preferences are distributed could see a
candidate who is otherwise not leading on primary count elected (noting that a straight
majority of over 50% of the primary vote would mean that a candidate is elected
without preferences distributed).
Another major item proposed is that of Councils funding candidates campaigns (subject
to minimum voting percentage and set financial rate). This would again align with State
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61425
and Federal processes, however on top of funding the election process itself would be
another burden for local councils.

The timing of the proposed changes is also noted. Mackay Regional Council is one of
52 out of 77 Council’s in Queensland to operate under an un-divided system (rather
than divisions). However, noting that of the 52 Mackay, along with Toowoomba,
Noosa and Gladstone Councils, are the larger Councils.
All Councils have an opportunity to review structure matters related to
boundaries/divisions/electoral system etc, however the cut-off date for any such
submission was 1 March 2019. The latest proposed changes were not advised until after
this date, meaning that Council did not have an opportunity to consider if under a
different election process a different structure would be more applicable.
Consultation and Communication
Mayor and Councillors – Briefing 11th March 2019
It should be noted that there appears to have been limited consultation on these changes
with Councils/LGAQ, and none with the general community.
Resource Implications
Overall most proposed changes are administrative and able to be accommodated within
existing staffing resources.
The two (2) main items that may have a financial impact would be changes to election
processes regarding preferential voting and potential for longer count process (elections
funded by Councils), and public campaign funding where candidates with more than
4% of the primary vote would be entitled to $1.57/primary vote. The total costs of these
would be unknown at this stage, noting however that the campaign funding item is for
out of pocket costs and capped at the level of candidate expenditure (which would
vary).
Risk Management Implications
Whilst it is noted that the majority of the proposed changes are aimed at achieving
transparency in public process, risks would be around confusion of voters in conducting
compulsory preferential/proportional voting for large numbers of candidates (and
ability for candidates to run for both Mayor and Councillor).
Conclusion
As explained in the report legislative change in local government administration is
constant and expected. The majority of the proposed changes per the DLGRMA
information paper are accepted as being aimed at and achieving increased transparency
in both candidate campaign and election process. However, there are a few items,
highlighted by compulsory preferential/proportional voting, that will have a large
impact on the election process and voters for elections such as that for Mackay
especially as an un-divided Council.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61428
The LGAQ is taking the local government lead on liaison with the DLGRMA and
Council should give informed comment to the LGAQ through the upcoming General
Meeting and listed motions.
Outside the LGAQ process, it is recommended that the proposed changes be
highlighted to the wider community for them to be able to assess impacts themselves,
and that Council may wish to call on the State Government to ensure proper
consultation with the general voting public and ratepayers on matters that may have
large impacts.
In particular, it is suggested that Council writes to the State Government raising the
items of voting method (compulsory preferential/proportional voting), ability for a
candidate to stand as both Mayor and Councillor, and public funding of election
campaigns, noting that they do not appear to link to Belcarra or other report
recommendations and would appear best suited to be withheld from any current
proposed changes to enable full public consultation.
It is also suggested that Council promotes the proposed reforms to the general public so
that they are aware of the proposed upcoming changes, and can consider their view.

Author Manager Governance & Safety
Purpose
To present the following Council Policy for consideration and adoption:
1. 005 - Procurement Policy
Related Parties
There are no identified related parties.
Background/Discussion
Mackay Regional Council (MRC) has a process of reviewing policies to ensure that
they are relevant and up to date. The process involves a review by the responsible
program manager, circulation to the management team for consultation and final
submission to the Strategy, Leadership & Performance Team (SLPT) for endorsement,
prior to presenting to Council for adoption.
Pursuant to Section 198 of the Local Government Regulations 2012, a local
government must prepare and adopt a policy about procurement (a procurement
policy). This policy must be reviewed annually.
Following the internal review, it is proposed to make a number of minor administrative
amendments to the Procurement Policy, to line up with current operational procedures.
These amendments do not change the rationale of support for local businesses, which
are proposed to continue.
A further comprehensive review of the policy will be presented to Council as part of the
19/20 Budget process.
Consultation and Communication
As part of the review process consultation has been undertaken with relevant
stakeholders including the responsible program manager and SLPT.
Resource Implications
The implementation of the policy will not require additional resources beyond those
currently budgeted.
Risk Management Implications
There were no risk management implications identified regarding the proposed policy.

15. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
The Mayor welcomed the members of the public who had registered to speak to this
item on the agenda today and provided an explanation on the procedure of public
participation as outlined in Council’s Standing Orders.
Mr Don McLennan
Mr McLennan of South Mackay, advised the War Memorial Pool is vital to his ongoing
rehabilitation and exercises for his hip replacements as prescribed by the Mackay Base
Hospital. Mr McLennan travels from his home to the pool via his electronic scooter
and if the pool were to close he would not be able to access the other aquatic facilities
and his rehabilitation would cease.
Ms Lorraine Elkhuizen
Ms Elkhuizen of Beaconsfield, wised to address the significants of the Mackay War
Memorial Swim Centre and the relevance of keeping and maintain it from just one
aspect, celebrating its own history.
Ms Jane Conlon
Ms Conlon of West Mackay, advised she believes the War Memorial Pool should not
be closed as it is a living memorial. She believes the War Memorial Pool is the only
safe place she and other can swim with steps, hoist access to the pool and has a
concrete floor instead of tiles.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019
MIN/27.03.2019 FOLIO 61438
Mr Graham Townsend
Mr Townsend of Glenella, advised Council of Keith Payne and Terry Hayes apologies
for today's meeting. He read a letter from Alison Fenick on her behalf in relation to the
War Memorial Pool which outlined her concerns about the possible closure of the War
Memorial Pool.
Mr Darby Munro
Mr Munro of Kuttabul, queried why Council wanted to close the War Memorial Pool.
He believes somewhere along the way society has lost its value on decency. He
queried the cost of refurbishment of the existing War Memorial Pool and the cost of
constructing a new pool.
Neil Williamson
Mr Williamson of Mt Pleasant, advised both his late parents served in World War II in
the Air Force and in addition both Grandfathers saw active service in World War I. He
also provided the background of his family's ties to the War Memorial Pool.
Mr Dan Stampa
Mr Stampa of Mt Pleasant, advised he supported the War Memorial Pool staying open.
He believes the War Memorial Pool should be maintained in the future for a multi-use
recreation aquatic facility that adds value to the liability of Mackay. Most importantly
that it continues to serve as an enhanced living memorial to Mackay and District past
and serving ADF.
Ms Sue Willett
Ms Willet of Andergrove, asked what the words "Mackay Pride" means. Is it pride in
the community; the War Memorial Swim Centre is a community driven war memorial.
She believes poor maintenance has led to the deterioration and makes it easier to raise a
case to close it on cost grounds. The Valley pool in Brisbane is 94 years old, the
Centenary Pool is 60 years old and the Spring Hill Baths 126 years old and all are in
excellent condition due to proper maintenance.
Ms Alison Jones
Ms Jones of Slade Point, advised she wished to bring to Council's attention the
Swallow Street Rock Wall and the damaged caused to the wall from Cyclone Dylan in
2014 and asked Council to consider the requests from the Swallow Street Rock Wall
Group.
The Mayor thanked the members of the public for their contributions during Public
Participation.

and also the Mayor's involvement.
Cr Casey advised he along with the Mayor attended the Mackay Choral Festival on
Monday 25 March 2019 at the MECC, a fantastic showcase of the young members of
the community was performing.
Cr Bonaventura thanked the Council and the public for their support at the Muslim
community event held in Sunday 24 March 2019 in support of the local Muslim
community and our New Zealand friends.

in Brown Street, Koumala, for Council's completion of the Curb and Channelling in
that area.
