	ITEM - 4 DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT - VILLAGE GREEN, MOLONG, BEING LOT 22 DP 569966
	Proceedings in Brief The Mayor explained that the Draft Plan of Management is about managing the future objectives and use of the Molong Village Green. Clr Mullin’s was supportive of the adoption of the Plan of Management. Clr Batten and Clr Jones indicated they didn’t support adopting the Plan of Management at this meeting, advising they would like more consultation with the community particularly in relation to the removal/relocation of the rotunda. The General Manager explained that the adoption of the plan was vital as the Molong RSL Sub Branch are seeking grant funding to erect a new cenotaph to be in place by ANZAC Day 2018. He added this project would also require a DA to be lodged and assessed by council which could not be done until the Plan of Management had been adopted. The General Manager explained when the Village Green land was gifted to council back in the 1970s, there was a landscape plan included which reflected the landscape design envisaged for the Village Green. Clr Davison asked that an amendment be made to the motion to include more community consultation. Clr Mullins disagreed saying that community consultation will take place whether the plan is adopted or not due to a DA having to go up for public view for the moving of the Rotunda and the erection of a Cenotaph.
	motion (Mullins/Walker) THAT the draft Plan of Management for the Village Green, being Lot 22 DP 569966, corner Gidley and Bank streets, Molong be adopted.
