Proceedings in Brief Clr Jones asked if the Cudal Community Children’s Centre (the Centre) have approached Council for assistance with issues such as fencing. The General Manager advised that Council had recently made contact with the Centre as they were dealing with too many different staff members. He stressed his concerns that the Centre are commencing works but haven’t received the Stronger Country Community funding as yet, noting the guidelines require tenders to be called and as Council are the owner of the building they must also adhere to the Local Government Act. Clr Jones questioned if the General Manager was concerned that the centre are relocating. The General Manager advised that the building is not purpose built and that no building inspections have been done by Department of Education. All risks need to be considering. Clr Treavors noted that recently a child fell through the verandah. He further noted that the Centre were offered to purchase the property when they first looked into using it but noted the house is not designed for child care. The General Manager said it was interesting that the property was offered for purchase when it is owned by Council. Clr Treavors replied that the community believe it is theirs. The General Manager clarified that the building was purchased by council and noted that the initial proposal included a container being used for storage and doing one room at a time. When the Centre heard they could get a second grant they didn’t allow for relocation. |
|
THAT, subject to the Cudal Community Children’s Centre obtaining the appropriate licences prior to occupation and carrying out the required building works, Council permit them to temporarily relocate to 36 Main Street, Cudal.
