CARRIED QUESTIONS OF WHICH DUE NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN, WITHOUT DISCUSSION Nil QUESTIONS OF WHICH NOTICE HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN, WITHOUT DISCUSSION Nil ANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE MAYOR, WITHOUT DISCUSSION WHITFORDS LEO'S CLUB Councillor Lynn deputised for me last month at the official formation night of the Leo's Club of Whitford. I believe this was the fourth such Club to be formed in WA. A Leo Club does much the same work as a Lions Club. The only difference being that Leo Club members are aged between 14 and 28. I would like to add my congratulations to Councillor Lynn's, and wish the Leo Club in Whitford all the best for the future. VISIT - INTERSTATE AND OVERSEAS EXCHANGE TEACHERS Last month Council hosted a visit by a group of interstate and overseas exchange teachers. This was a first for Council, as we've certainly hosted a number of functions for exchange students over the years, but never for the teachers. It was a great opportunity to meet teachers from different countries and to also show off the City of Wanneroo. RED CROSS SOCIETY RALLY Earlier this month, I was invited to open the Wanneroo Regional Rally for the Red Cross Society. The get together gave all local members of the Australian Red Cross Society the opportunity to have an informal chat and make plans for the next 12 months. We are fortunate that here in the City of Wanneroo there are so many people prepared to give up their time to help people less fortunate than themselves. LITTLE FEET FESTIVAL I had the pleasure of officially opening the Little Feet Festival earlier this month. This is the third time that the festival has been held and judging by the response by families in the area, the festival was a resounding success. AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF BUILDING SURVEYORS CONFERENCE Council hosted a lunch and tour of the local district for Conference delegates to the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors 7th National Conference on Sunday, 4 September 1994. The Conference delegates enjoyed seeing the sights of the area, particularly the formation of the Joondalup City Centre. ROYAL WESTERN AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL AFFILIATED SOCIETIES CONFERENCE Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of officially opening the 1994 Annual Conference of the Royal Western Australian Historical Affiliated Societies Conference. It was the first time that an Historical Society Conference had been held in the City of Wanneroo. Former Wanneroo Mayor and President of the Wanneroo Historical Society, Bill Marwick, have an interesting address entitled "Wanneroo: Then and Now" and our City Planner, Oscar Drescher, gave an interesting talk on the formation of the Joondalup City Centre. WA YUGOSLAV BOWLING CLUB This morning I had the honour of bowling the first ball at Warwick Bowling Club Opening Day for the WA Yugoslav Bowling Club. It was an enthusiastic opening, with many members in attendance. INQUIRY INTO SALE OF LAND - GRIFFITHS ROAD I was advised last night by the Minister for Local Government that the results of the Inquiry into the sale of land, Lots 12 and 13 Griffiths Road would be released today. A copy will be sent to all Councillors and the matter discussed at the Policy and Special Purposes Committee Meeting scheduled for 21 September 1994.
