Full Council Meeting:December 14th 2015

The last meeting for the year. It seems to me that things have slowed down a bit in 2015, maybe it is having projects ready for funding that remain unfunded and I wonder if the time and effort was wasted.   Nevertheless, there is much to be thankful for and much achieved. On this month's Agenda items of interest are;

• Animal Management Plan 2016-20: PASSED
• Food Safety Audits: these are now compulsory for aged care facilities and childcare centres. PASSED
• Active Aging Strategy: PASSED
• Commercial Fitness and Training Policy: updated and PASSED
• Traffic Management and Speed Restrictions for Royal Show: as costs are increasing Council is considering asking the Sow Society to help cover the cost: DEFERRED
• Rugby/Porter St Bikeway Concept Street Design: Council will apply for grants and use recurrent funding to spend about $200,000 upgrading several intersections along this route. PASSED
• Appointment of Deputy Mayor fro 2016: Michael Rabbitt was elected to this position. PASSED
• Closure of the Foot Track to Millswood Station: I proposed a motion that might have had some chance in seeing it reopened or at least appropriately consulted: This motion failed  as Councillor's believed that ARTC would not move from their current position. Disappointingly my co-councillor while saying that he supported the motion actually voted against it. LOST
• Unley Central: CONFIDENTIAL
