* Cr Zannino was nominated to the position of Chairperson by the Minister for Planning. In the event he is replaced in the role of Ward Councillor, he will still maintain that position.

The City's long term practice has been to make arrangements regarding the membership of the Committee such that both Swan Valley/Gidgegannup Ward Councillors are members of the Swan Valley Planning Committee. Therefore Scenarios 2 or 3 are the recommended outcomes.

It is recommended that the membership be determined as follows:

1. The Mayor advises if he/she shall be the Member or wishes to nominate a representative.

2. Dependent upon the Mayor's advice the following three scenarios could occur:

Scenario 1

The Mayor is not a Swan Valley/Gidgegannup Ward Councillor and advises he/she wishes to be the member.

Council may nominate one or both of the Swan Valley/Gidgegannup Ward Councillors to be appointed by the Minister.
