1.0 APOLOGIES There were no apologies. 2.0 MESSAGES OF SYMPATHY

PASSING OF DOROTHY JOAN LARSEN 15/12/1937 – 29/05/2010 Cr Sellers referred to the passing of Dorothy Joan Larsen. She delivered the following message.

“Dorothy Joan Delbridge was born on the 15th December 1937, second child and daughter of Bertie and Emma Delbridge in Harvey, Western Australia. As a child Dot was involved in many pastimes including choir, piano, marching girls and possibly her greatest passion, netball. Dot went to school at Harvey Primary and High School and was considered to be an average student. After school finished she began work at Cook’s Cafe and Bakery in Harvey and commenced working for some bookies in WA which was a sign of things to come when she moved to Queensland. She had a great love of dancing but rarely did she take much serious interest in boys. However this was all to change in the early 1960’s when she met a Danish immigrant dairy technician at one of these dances. Time went on and eventually Dot and Laurits (Les to all who now know him) were married in a ceremony in Harvey on October 3 1964.

Les obtained a job offer in Gladstone at the PCD Factory and in late 1969 they moved to Queensland. Dot became heavily involved in work at the TAB and Gladstone Netball Association. Netball in Gladstone flourished under her guidance and the courts/clubhouse were part of the improved facilities that she helped establish. She was awarded Life Membership and continued to play and coach for many years. Dot had to give up her great love of playing netball in the late 1980’s when she was diagnosed with skin cancer and had major surgery on her mouth. However she continued to umpire netball both indoor and outdoor for many years. Dot became involved in a number of other sports such as squash and ten pin bowling and she was still participating in bowling earlier this year until illness prevented her from continuing.

Dot was involved in many organisations: Friends of the Theatre volunteers, “Be Pampered” ladies group, Sothertons Fashion Awards and The Leukaemia Foundation were all part of Dot’s volunteering passions and she helped a number of fund raising ventures such as Walk for Life and Relay for Life. These charities had assisted her during her battles with lymphoma and cancer and she wanted to give them something back in return.

Dot was always late. It did not matter what it was – sporting events, dinner, christenings – she would always be late. In fact when she was diagnosed with the blood illness last April 2009 she was given 2 months’ to live. Well she was even late for that.


Dot is survived by her husband Les, sons Shaun and Gary, daughter-in-law Judy and grandsons Cory and Luke.

Rest in peace Dot.” Cr Cameron joined the meeting while Cr Sellers was delivering the message (at 9.03am).

6.1 GLADSTONE MUSICAL SOCIETY AND QCWA (GLADSTONE BRANCH) PROPERTIES - OAKA LANE, GLADSTONE Cr Hansen referred to issues the Gladstone Musical Society and QCWA

(Gladstone Branch) are having with Queensland Rail over the lease areas of their Oaka Lane halls. He said it was very concerning to the groups who have occupied their premises over many years. The Member for Gladstone, Liz Cunningham MP, is providing support to the organisations.


6.2 GLADSTONE AIRPORT Cr Cameron protested strongly at the treatment of the Gladstone region in the

Queensland State Budget. He made particular reference to allocations for Toowoomba, Bundaberg and Whitsunday regions but he said there was no mention of the Gladstone Airport. The Gladstone Region was a major contributor to the State economy and once again it has been ignored. He said unfortunately it was not the time to do this to the region as it was on the cusp of another surge of major industry.

6.3 COUNCIL COMMITMENT TO FORMER MIRIAM VALE SHIRE AREA Cr Cameron referred to the considerable effort committed by Council staff to

issues relative to the former Miriam Vale Shire area. He referred to time spent in regard to the Agnes Water Medical Centre issue and that spent on other major projects in the area. He said there was a disproportionate amount of time spent on a relatively small percentage of the region's population and he hoped residents were aware of the commitment. He said Council was well and truly looking after that section of the region.

6.4 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF DEATH OF REG TANNA (FORMER

GENERAL MANAGER GLADSTONE PORT AUTHORITY) Cr Sellers advised that the 10th anniversary of Reg Tanna's death had been

29th and 30th of May. I opened the Forum on Saturday morning and there were thirty people attending. Eight representatives were present from Queensland Arts Council and the remainder were from Gladstone, Rockhampton, Maryborough and Biloela. It was great to see this regional exchange of ideas and resources which will help to drive the arts and cultural projects for the region over the next year.

2.2 Gladstone and District Sports Foundation Trust Race Day Event The Race Day fundraiser was held on 29th May and was a great

success. Over one hundred women attended the function and $4500 was raised for the Gladstone and District Sports Foundation Trust. This will now bring the balance of the Investment Account to $170 000. The aim of the committee is to reach $200 000 which could make the fund self-sustaining.

2.3 Harmony Day

A small Fashion Parade was held at the Gladstone Regional Art Gallery and Museum on Sunday 30th May. It featured children from many nations dressed in their National Costumes.

Through my website I received a request from the Mayor of Winterswijk, Thijs van Beem. His son Mathijs and his girlfriend Corine were in Australia and would be in our area in June and could he send a package. The children spend the weekend with us and thoroughly enjoyed the area, BAM and EcoFest. They were also delighted to meet the Mayor George Creed and Leonie at Tondoon Botanic Gardens on Sunday. www.winterswijk.nl

During that time they have called at 160 ports in 16 nations and have provided over $37 million worth of free services to over 200 000 people. On Wednesday 9th June, a small civic reception was held for the group. During the afternoon tea, a presentation of mosquito nets and the collection of eyeglasses were presented to Captain Jeremy Schierer by Councillors Hansen, Chapman and Sellers.

2.6 Toolooa State High School – Low Carbon Diet

Toolooa State High School is encouraging the Gladstone community to become involved in reducing their carbon footprint. On Wednesday 9th June, I attended a Community Meeting at the school. The community has been challenged to become the “Biggest Reducer” during the Low Carbon Diet. There will be families, schools and community groups involved in this competition. Results will be announced on Friday 30th July.

2.7 Shell Questacon Science Circus

On Thursday 10th June, The Shell Questacon Science Circus was opened at the PCYC Gladstone.

It operated in regional, rural and remote parts of Australia delivering science shows to primary schools, plus teacher development workshops, and also engages the broader community via public exhibitions.

3.0 Cr Maxine Brushe 3.1 CQ – A New Millennium (CQ Regional Planning Committee)

I recently attended the CQ ANM meeting in Rockhampton. Stirling

Hinchcliffe, Minister for Insfrastructure and Planning chaired the meeting. Gary White, Deputy Director-General, Planning was also in attendance.

Matters discussed included: 1. Central Qld Regional Plan – Implementation activities and

changes due to the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA); 2. Land Use constraints; 3. Compact urban form; 4. Rural living; and 5. Approvals overriding the planning scheme


Gary White spoke on need for Local Governments to get Community Plans done that identify key partners, key relationships and key sequencing. These will then populate and contextualise into the Regional Plan 2011 will see the Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Roads Implementation Plan which will be tied to population and economic needs identified in the Growth Management Plan.

Meeting was advised that the CQ Regional Plan will take in the whole of

the Gladstone Regional Council area, including all of the previous Miriam Vale Shire. DIP officers also confirmed that the previous Miriam Vale Shire area will follow the key planning principles and key themes similar to the rest of the Gladstone Region in the CQ Regional Plan, and not those of the Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan.

With regards to Rural Living, a great deal was made of the large

number of Rural Lifestyle (2000) and Rural Residential (2500) lots in the Gladstone Regional Council area, with half of them being in the southern area of the Region. The following points were made by DIP: Unlikely to support further rural residential lots in planning

schemes; Will support amalgamation of lots; Incorporate clusters of highly fragmented rural land (RLL) into rural

residential zone in new planning scheme. Compact Urban Form Minister spoke highly of current ULDA project in Gladstone and their Residential 30 Guideline. Also indicated that the department would be working on communication strategies to inform communities about different compact urban forms.

Amendment 2 – Policy for 2010/2011

POLICY DETAIL: The purpose of this revenue policy is to set out the principles used by Council in 2010/2011 for:

The making of rates and charges; The levying of rates; The recovery of rates and charges; Concessions for rates and charges.

[A] Principles used for the making of rates and charges In general, Council will be guided by the principle of user pays in the making of rates and charges so as to treat all ratepayers in an equitable manner and to minimise the impact of rating on the efficiency of the local economy.


Council will also have regard to the principles of: Transparency in the making of rates and charges; Establishment of rating categories to recognise the different demands placed on Council

resources especially the road network; Having in place a rating regime that is simple and inexpensive to administer; and Equity by taking account of the different levels of capacity to pay within the community.

[B] Principles used for the levying of rates In levying rates Council may apply the principles of:

Utilisation of various smoothing mechanisms available to Council under the Local

Government Act to mitigate significant fluctuations in property valuations; Utilisation of discounts to encourage the prompt payment of rates; Making the levying system simple and inexpensive to administer; and Equity through flexible payment arrangements for ratepayers with a lower capacity to pay.

[C] Principles used for the recovery of unpaid rates and charges Council will exercise its rate recovery powers in order to reduce the overall rate burden on ratepayers. It will be guided by the principles of:

Transparency by making clear the obligations of ratepayers and the processes used by

Council in assisting them meet their financial obligations; Making the processes used to recover outstanding rates and charges clear, simple to

administer and cost effective; Capacity to pay in determining appropriate arrangements for different sectors of the

community; Equity by having regard to providing the same treatment for ratepayers with similar

circumstances; Flexibility by responding where necessary to changes in the local economy; Ratepayers are expected to pay all rates and charges by the due date; and Council will

consider legal action if rates remain outstanding. [D] Concessions for rates and charges In considering the application of concessions under Part 10 ‘Rates concessions’ of the Local Government (Finance, Plans and Reporting) Regulation 2009, Council will be guided by the principles of:

Encouraging pensioners to be independent and live in their own home where possible which Council believes has a "quality of life" benefit, and

Acknowledging the role of community and sporting organisations by providing financial assistance to those non-profits organisations that would otherwise have difficulty in paying their general rates without such concession; and

Transparency by making clear the requirements necessary to receive such concessions.


This policy is to be reviewed each financial year prior to the setting of the annual budget. ………………………………………… GRAEME KANOFSKI CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
