As per the letter that was sent to Mr Gent from the City of Mandurah dated 5 August 2016 Mr Gent was advised that unless instructed by Council, the City would not be considering or undertaking any further remedial work on Merrivale Street outside the property on the basis that the refurbishment conforms with Council’s instructions of September 2014 to return the road to the levels pre-2002. The Mayor at the time, at a meeting with Mr Gent on 5 August 2016 also reaffirmed that it is not the intention of the current Council at the time to revisit the matter and that no further changes or roadworks in relation to changing of levels will be undertaken. Officers were specifically instructed to ensure that constriction of the road conformed to those plans as far as practicably possible. As such the City considers the matter closed. Council Meeting 27 April 2021 Questions on Notice Page 4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR ELECTED MEMBERS COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL: 13 APRIL 2021 CC.5/4/21 PEEL AND SOUTH-WEST METRO HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY CLUSTER At the inaugural Steering Committee Meeting of the Peel and South West Metro Hydrogen Technology Cluster, held on 14 April, a decision was made to change the name of the cluster. This was in response to concerns that the existing cluster name was too long and cumbersome. The Steering Committee, comprised of representatives from the City of Mandurah, Murdoch University, Peel Development Commission and Hazer Group, resolved to change the name of the cluster to ‘Perth and Peel Hydrogen Cluster’. This was partly in response to the need for a shorter name, and partly designed to align with State Government Planning and Development vernacular. The Perth and Peel Hydrogen Cluster is currently designing its new website and brand, and the new name will be incorporated into the design. National Energy Resources Australia (NERA), the national body responsible for creating the network of 13 regional clusters, has been advised of the name change. The Cluster Prospectus attached to the Committee report has been updated to reflect the name change, and is attached here for your reference. The Committee of Council recommendation to Council currently states: That the Committee of Council recommends that Council: 1. Endorse the Peel and South West Metro Hydrogen Technology Cluster’s inclusion in the NERA Regional Hydrogen Technology Cluster Program; 2. Approve the allocation of a one-off $20,000 cash contribution from the City’s Economic Development budget towards the Cluster; 3. Acknowledge that ongoing membership of the Cluster post-2021/22 would entail an annual membership fee of $2000; 4. Acknowledge the efforts of City officers in facilitating the Peel and South-West Metro Hydrogen Technology Cluster’s successful inclusion in the NERA Regional Hydrogen Technology Cluster Program; 5. Undertake to promote the Cluster’s programs and activities via the City’s communication channels; 6. Advocate for State and Federal Government support for the Cluster’s programs and activities. It is recommended that an Elected Member move a Council motion that states: That Council: 1. Endorse the Perth and Peel Hydrogen Cluster’s inclusion in the NERA Regional Hydrogen Technology Cluster Program; 2. Approve the allocation of a one-off $20,000 cash contribution from the City’s Economic Development budget towards the Cluster; 3.
