THAT Council consider the matter further. |
General Manager's REPORT
At the May Ordinary meeting Council considered a report regarding the funding of Orange Regional Tourism Limited. A copy of the report is attached for councillors information.
After considering the report the Council resolved as follows:
“That Council make application under s358 of the Local Government Act to the Minister for Local Government for approval to be involved in the formation of a corporation before further considering this matter.”
A joint application on behalf of Cabonne, Blayney and Orange Councils is being submitted by Orange City Council.
In their resolutions seeking Ministerial Approval under s358, Blayney and Orange Councils also committed themselves to funding. At a meeting with representatives of TDO Limited attended by the Deputy Mayor and Clr Davison on 25 July 2017, a similar funding assurance was sought from Cabonne.
The recommendation made no commitment to funding pending the outcome of the request.
It is understood that this is the purpose for the request for the extraordinary meeting.
Should Council agree to the request, funding would be available from Council’s reserve funds.
