1.1 Apologies and Leave of Absence
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 Environment and Economic Development Policy Committee at this meeting.

TRIM REFERENCE: 2014/2495
AUTHOR: Chris Devitt, Director Technical Services
EXECUTIVE Summary
The Environmental Sustainability Community Committee met on 19 December 2014 and the recommendations from that meeting are presented to the Environment and Economic Development Policy Committee for adoption.
Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan
The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “12.1 Our Environment – Ensure the Plans of Management for the City’s natural resource assets are current and reviewed”.
Financial Implications
Funding for a biodiversity study in the 2015/16 Delivery/Operational Plan will need to be raised as an initiative in the budget preparation processes.
Policy and Governance Implications
Nil
1 That the recommendations made by the Environmental Sustainability Community Committee at its meeting held on 19 December 2014 be adopted. 2 That the Environmental Sustainability Community Committee 2015 meetings be held on 20 February, 15 May, 21 August and 20 November to avoid the busy month of December. |
further considerations
Consideration has been given to the recommendation’s impact on Council’s service delivery; image and reputation; political; environmental; health and safety; employees; stakeholders and project management; and no further implications or risks have been identified.
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
At this meeting the Committee recommended to support Council in its efforts to ban smoking in the CBD between Five Ways to Hill Street and Kite Street to Byng Street. The Committee noted the potential difficulty of enforcing such a ban and acknowledges that any ban on smoking in the CBD is more about engaging with the community to seek its support to provide peer pressure as has happened at community facilities including playgrounds to achieve a change of behaviour in a collaborative manner rather than through regulatory enforcement measures.
The Committee recommended that Council considers in its 2015/16 budgetting process appropriate allocation of funding towards the preparation of a biodiversity study (plants and animals of the Orange region) in collaboration with Charles Sturt University and other potential partners. This will be considered in the preparation of next Delivery /Operational Plan.
