2.1 Minutes of the Tidy Towns Community Committee - 10 October 2018
1 Introduction
1.1 Declaration of pecuniary interests, significant non-pecuniary interests and less than significant non-pecuniary interests
The provisions of Chapter 14 of the Local Government Act, 1993 (the Act) regulate the way in which Councillors and designated staff of Council conduct themselves to ensure that there is no conflict between their private interests and their public role.
The Act prescribes that where a member of Council (or a Committee of Council) has a direct or indirect financial (pecuniary) interest in a matter to be considered at a meeting of the Council (or Committee), that interest must be disclosed as soon as practicable after the start of the meeting and the reasons given for declaring such interest.
As members are aware, the provisions of the Local Government Act restrict any member who has declared a pecuniary interest in any matter from participating in the discussion or voting on that matter, and requires that member to vacate the Chamber.
Council’s Code of Conduct provides that if members have a non-pecuniary conflict of interest, the nature of the conflict must be disclosed. The Code of Conduct also provides for a number of ways in which a member may manage non pecuniary conflicts of interest.
|
Recommendation It is recommended that Committee Members now disclose any conflicts of interest in matters under consideration by the Environmental Sustainability Policy Committee at this meeting. |

Several ideas were mentioned: · Fitness runs – runners could pick up as they run. Kate held a similar event with reasonable success. · Partnerships with Centrelink (dole), correction inmates and Landcare. · Thoughts of a campaign for community members to pick up three items of rubbish per day. · Roger to write to schools informing them of the Awards Weekend on 9‑11 November, and to ask to them to make sure that their schools are litter free. · Clean Up Australia Day isn’t “sexy”. Possibly needs a revamp. · Biggest issue with roadside litter is the WHS element and cost. |

· The Committee will need new projects to focus on from next year. One idea was the Foodcare program. · The Committee needs to promote the theme of Tidy Towns now that the “Blue Stars” idea is finished. · The question was asked: “does the Council support the Tidy Towns Committee?”. The Committee’s profile needs to be raised and the importance of Tidy Towns reinforced to the Council. · The Committee needs to be more active. · Businesses/individuals need to be recognised for what they do in the community. · Tony Rodd wants the owners of the newly renovated Carrington Hotel presented with an award. · Can the community be encouraged to nominate a street, individual or group for an award. Possibly done through Council’s Facebook page. · A briefing is to be held on 7 November 2018 to go through the weekend itinerary.
