Can we workshop the establishment of a Strahan Waterfront Advisory Committee for the Councillors?

Response: 

Mayor Pitt indicated this was an excellent idea and proposed to take this matter to a workshop. All Councillors agreed to take this to a workshop to enable them to gain a better understanding of the running of a wharf.

The General Manager advised a tour of the Strahan waterfront for the Councillors will be organised once the legal documents have been processed.

Mayor Pitt

Would any Councillors be in a position to join the West Coast Weeds Committee?

Mayor Pitt indicated he will be joining the Committee to take some of the burden off staff. Councillors Hamer and Jordan also volunteered to join the Committee.

The Mayor indicated if any other Councillors would like to attend the Committee meetings, their input would be most welcome.
