CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES I90401 MINUTES OF COUNCIL MEETING, 23 MARCH 1994 MOVED Cr Freame, SECONDED Cr Curtis that the Minutes of Council Meeting held on 23 March 1994, be confirmed as a true and correct record. CARRIED QUESTIONS OF WHICH DUE NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN, WITHOUT DISCUSSION Nil QUESTIONS OF WHICH NOTICE HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN, WITHOUT DISCUSSION TWO ROCKS MARINA - [615-0-5] Cr Waters enquired whether Council had received a reply from the Minister regarding the Two Rocks Marina. The Town Clerk advised that he would investigate the matter. ANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE MAYOR, WITHOUT DISCUSSION OPENING OF CLUBROOM ADDITIONS AT QUINNS ROCKS BOWLING CLUB Late last month I had the pleasure of officiating at the opening of clubroom additions at the Quinns Rocks bowling club. The Club has a proud tradition in the area that dates back to the early seventies when members of the Club approached the Council of the day for assistance in establishing a Club. From those early beginnings, the club has gone from strength to strength. FESTIVAL FINALE Also last month I went to Sorrento Quay for the Festival Finale to mark the culmination of Multicultural Week festivities. The City of Wanneroo, in conjunction with the Multicultural Arts Council of WA and the Office of Multicultural Interests, jointly organised the activities at Sorrento Quay. The day provided perfect weather and a good crowd was in attendance. The Festival Finale was a fitting finish to a week of multicultural events. PRO/AM GOLF TOURNAMENT On 27 March I attended the Marangaroo Public Golf Course for the City of Wanneroo's annual Pro/Am Golf Tournament. This was the seventh year Council has hosted the tournament and each year it has gone from strength to strength. This year's event will go down as another successful day. More than 700,000 rounds of golf have been played on the course since its opening in March, 1988. Last year more than 116,000 rounds of golf were played at Marangaroo, making it the busiest public golf course in Perth. BUSINESS LAUNCH FOR REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GROUP Earlier this month I attended the business launch of the Regional Economic Development Group (commonly known as RED) and formerly the Wanneroo Economic Development Association. The City of Wanneroo has been a major funding source for the RED group since its inception in 1989. Over the years Council and the RED group have developed a strong working relationship. Through the promotion of RED, Council is attempting to redress the imbalance between the municipality's population and the available employment opportunities. RUBY BENJAMIN FOUNDATION SEMINAR Yesterday Council hosted the Ruby Benjamin Foundation Seminar. About 50 people involved in Local Government, State Government and concerned Animal Welfare groups attended the seminar. Ruby Benjamin and her team of workers attended and an interesting and informative morning session tackled the problem of animal sterilisation and associated topics. Pet ownership is on the increase and the role of enforcing rules that govern the welfare of cats and dogs in the community falls squarely at the feet of local Councils. JUNIOR COUNCILLORS IN ATTENDANCE Tonight we have eight members of the City of Wanneroo's Junior Council in attendance. Junior Council mirrors the senior Council in that it meets on a regular basis to discuss problems and areas of mutual concerns. It is made up of representatives from each of the high schools in the district. Earlier this month I had the pleasure of being the guest speaker at the Junior Council's monthly meeting. It gave me the opportunity to meet Junior Council members and also inform them about the workings of Wanneroo City Council. On behalf of my fellow Councillors I would like to welcome the Junior Councillors to tonight's meeting. VISIT BY MR JIM KELLY - SHIRE OF KALAMUNDA I would also like to welcome as a guest of the Council tonight Mr Jim Kelly, the Chief Executive Officer of the Shire of Kalamunda who has come to Wanneroo to see how we conduct our affairs.
