OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION THAT: Maitland City Council provide $3,000 plus GST from within current budgetary allocations to the Maitland Show Society to assist in the conduct of the 2006 Miss Maitland Showgirl Competition REPORT The Miss Maitland Showgirl Competition is a long established tradition in the Maitland area and provides young local women with the opportunity to enhance both their individual life opportunities and their potential contribution to our community and its residents. In previous years the Miss Maitland Showgirl Competition has benefited from Maitland City Council’s support in a variety of ways including, most recently, section 356 contribution. The Society’s request for support this year amounts to $3,000 plus GST to address total competition costs of $10,664. For 2006 it has been considered appropriate to treat the Miss Maitland Showgirl Competition as a promotional and marketing opportunity for the Council and City and, in those terms, to source its requested support from within existing marketing and public relations allocations. Funds are available within these allocations for this purpose. Page 2 ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 24 JANUARY, 2006 MISS MAITLAND SHOWGIRL SPONSORSHIP (Cont.) CONCLUSION The Miss Maitland Showgirl Competition is a significant opportunity for many aspiring young residents to develop their communication skills and self-confidence and their capacity to contribute on a range of levels to the development of our City. Support for the proposed 2006 sponsorship is therefore strongly recommended. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS As detailed in the report. Support beyond 2006 will be subject to discussions with the Maitland Show Society and, if appropriate, further report to Council. POLICY IMPLICATIONS This matter has no specific policy implications for Council. STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS There are no statutory implications under the Local Government Act 1993 with this matter.

The ‘Starstruck’ show, produced by the Arts Unit of the NSW Department of Education and Training, is widely supported across the Hunter and Central Coast area and is presented annually at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre. This report invites Council to undertake “Segment” sponsorship of the event on a recurrent basis in future years. OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION THAT: 1. An amount of $7,700 (including GST) be allocated from Council’s 2005 / 2006 Marketing allocation to fund sponsorship of the Starstruck event to be held in June 2006 2. Maitland City Council commit to long term segment sponsorship to the Starstruck event 3. A report be provided to Council on progress of the event and any proposed changes to sponsorship arrangements REPORT Maitland City Council has for a number of years supported the annual NSW DET ‘Starstruck’ show as a minor and most recently segment sponsor.
