TOWN OF BASSENDEAN
MINUTES
ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING
HELD IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, 48 OLD PERTH ROAD, BASSENDEAN
ON TUESDAY, 23 JUNE 2009, AT 7.00PM
1.0 DECLARATION OF OPENING/ANNOUNCEMENT OF VISITORS
Her Worship the Mayor declared the meeting open and welcomed all those in attendance.
Mr John Sutherland, 33 Anzac Terrace, Bassendean
Mr Sutherland asked when the several questions he asked at the last OCM would be answered.
Mr Sutherland repeated the questions as follows:
- What amount has been allocated in this year’s budget for Success Hill Reserve?
- What amount is proposed for the 2009/10 budget for Success Hill Reserve?
- Why were the trees removed on Guildford Road recently?
The Mayor apologised for the lack of response.
The Director Operational Services advised that the Eucalyptus Malley trees in Guildford Road had been removed due to their poor growth habit, but would be replaced. The determination as to whether to remove trees is made by the Parks area of the Town.
The Director Corporate Services advised that $48,077 had been allocated to Success Hill Reserve in the 2008/09 budget which had been spent on the access steps and fishing platform. He undertook to provide additional information in writing. The Mayor suggested that any further queries be made directly to the Director Corporate Services.
Mr Sutherland further asked that Council considers erecting a shade cloth over the courtyard below the administration offices in order to make the area a lot more useful in the warmer months.
The Mayor took the suggestion on board, however, pointed out that it was unlikely to be in the near future as the current budget has been set and is scheduled for approval tonight.
