A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR

Next Tuesday night’s Council meeting (6.30pm Civic Centre, Dee Why)will have another full agenda dealing with a wide range of important matters.

One unusual item will canvass the issue of what the Council can do to assist residents in dealing with ticks. Most Northern Beaches residents are acutely aware of the problem because of the quite serious consequences of ‘tick bite’ for themselves, their children/grandchildren and dogs.

I was quite surprised at how much the problem seems to have grown since I left my stint as Administrator of Warringah Council in 2008. Recognising that the issue affected residents across the whole area of the new Council, I raised the question last year of what the new Council might do to try and assist in some way.

I was hoping initially that a significant Council grant may be useful in encouraging the development of tick eradication measures. Regrettably this idea didn’t travel very far because of the complexity of managing ticks across our diverse local environment. It seems we are destined to have to learn to live with ticks for at least the foreseeable future.

We can however make a contribution to closing the gap in our knowledge of tick management. To that end I have been convinced that funding a three-year partnership with a university to research how to better manage the risk of tick encounter and how to better deal with tick bites will be worthwhile.

Given that this issue affects such a large percentage of the Northern Beaches Council area, it is a good project to fund from the Council’s Merger Savings Fund. Hopefully the findings and outputs from this project will benefit all our residents.

So at next Tuesday’s Council meeting I will deal with a report recommending the funding of a PhD research project involving $75,000 over the next three years.

Given that so many residents deal with tick bites now, I have arranged for the Council to provide links on our website to connect people with the best health advice available. I expect this to be available in the near future.

The Council meeting will also deal with the Draft 15 year Sportsground Strategy for the Northern Beaches Council. It is proposed that this Draft Strategy will be placed on exhibition for a further 28 days. The Council paper reports on the extensive community engagement undertaken over the last two months and proposes a way forward for the incoming elected Council.

This year, each Council meeting has been watched by between 160 and 260 people. If you can’t make it to a meeting you can view it online at northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/meetings.
