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 Services Policy Committee at this meeting.

NAIDOC Week Schools Initiative email from Dylan Williams

Discussion held regarding cost/benefit of this particular program; it was not included in NAIDOC Week for the last two years.  Agreement from the Committee that a locally-driven program is preferable.  C. McLean and C. Vincent explained that they already make contact with local schools on an individual basis.  The Committee agreed to continue that practice.

N. Ingram Snr referred to previous correspondence dated 22/01/2021

Mr Ingram Snr raised that adherence to cultural protocols is an important and serious matter.  C. Vincent provided an explanation regarding the process the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council (OLALC) use to inform Elders regarding requests for Welcome to Country, and invited Elders to register their name with OLALC if they would like to be involved in delivering ceremony.  Elders may also advise the best method for the OLALC to contact them when a request has been submitted.  C. Vincent explained there is often a very short notice period provided by applicants.

N. Ingram Snr raised whether only those Committee members who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander should have voting rights.  Reference was made to the existing Committee Charter (2017/2274) and that “Community representatives as determined by the Committee” indicated the Committee could vote to determine membership criteria.  The Committee agreed to defer any decision to the April meeting so members have time to consider.

M. Newman referred to previous correspondence dated 27/11/2021

Reference was made to a long-standing arrangement with the OLALC for an Acknowledgement of Country to be provided if a Welcome was not available.  Further information was requested in order to respond to the matters raised in the previous correspondence.  A member raised that cultural issues be referred to the OLALC Culture and Heritage Committee.

RECOMMENDATION                                                                       Mr G Power/Ms D Stanley

That the information and discussions on Correspondence be noted.

Mary-Elizabeth related that Orange Regional Museum is interested in forming a closer partnership with the NAIDOC Committee and NAIDOC Week and utilising the Museum as more than a venue.  Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council’s regeneration work and contemporary care of Country a possible theme.  Stories of Elders and collaboration with local schools could also feature.  The Committee agreed that a conversation with existing NAIDOC exhibition organisers is the appropriate next step.
