4 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

1 Tony Ives - 30 Aulini Drive, Bedfordale

Re: Bedfordale Volunteer Bushfire Brigade.

Q1. I attended the February meeting and asked some questions on behalf of the brigade.

Can you please advise why the brigade does not have a formal response and as to

when a response can be expected to those questions?

The Executive Director Community Services advised that the questions put to the

February Council meeting were responded to at that meeting and the minutes are

available on the website.

Q2 I would like an acknowledgment that you are going to respond to me. When can I

expect a response?

The Mayor advised that as indicated by the Executive Director the minute record of

the February meeting details the responses given at the meeting and there was

nothing further to respond to. However, this would be verified and if there are any

outstanding matters this would be responded to.

Q3. The grant of $375000 and the Brigade’s offer of a further $80000 towards the new

facility for the Bedfordale Bushfire Brigade does have a finite lifetime and will most

likely be rescinded at the end of this financial year. Given that the procrastination by

the City for almost 2 years in making a decision, is there any intention at all from the

City to make a commitment towards securing that grant and take advantage of the

Brigade’s donation within this financial year?

The Mayor advised that the question would be taken on notice and a response

forwarded in writing.

Q4. Is it the intention of the City to retain the services of the Bedfordale Bushfire

Brigade?

The Mayor advised that from his point of view the Brigade was an integral part of the

City’s Bushfire capability and have had no discussion about the discontinuance or

closing down of the Brigade.

2 Robert Bloxom - 2 Kilfor Rise, Bedfordale

Re: Bedfordale Volunteer Bushfire Brigade

Q1. Has the CoA completed the feasibility study into the premises? Will the findings of

that investigation be made available either publicly or through us to the brigade?




OF COUNCIL

Q2. A building inspection of the brigade facility has been carried out and similarly would

like the outcome of that to be made available to the Brigade.



Q3. Is there any information that is required by the Executive Director from us and if so

can that further information be put in writing so that we may respond?

The Mayor advised he would follow this up with the Executive Director following the

meeting.

3 Suzanne Strickland - Bedfordale Childcare Centre

Q1. I run this childcare centre and have been doing so for 25 years. All the services that is

being requested for I am currently allowed to run on my property as a childcare

centre. Why is the council against the Saturday opening?

The Mayor advised that the matter was discussed at Committee and the discussion

and recommendation is detailed in the report to Council. This matter will now need to

be resolved at the tribunal.
