There were no apologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Announcements by the Chair<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Mayor provided information about the upcoming local government election ahead of ballot papers being sent from 5 October, with voting to close at 2 pm on 27 October 2026. The Glenorchy War Memorial Pool will reopen on 1 October, with free entry across the opening weekend and Council matching gold coin donations to support local children\u2019s swimming lessons. Since starting full-time operations on 1 July, the Youth Hub has welcomed 2,775 young people to daytime programs and facilitated 33 referrals and service connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Policy Updates: Public Open Space Contribution Policy and Enforcement Policy<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Council adopted the revised Public Open Space Contribution Policy following its four-year review. The updated policy simplifies and modernises the language prescribing Council\u2019s requirements for public open space contributions during subdivisions, including how cash-in-lieu contributions are calculated and valued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Council also adopted the revised Enforcement Policy following its four-year review. The policy provides a clearer framework for how Council assesses, prioritises and responds to compliance matters, ranging from education and voluntary compliance through to infringement notices and prosecution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
