“For a long time there was actually no public notice of outstanding resolutions,” Cr Townley stated at the meeting.

“This is just taking that to the next step; things that are not resolved or are only partially enacted are now available to the public.

“I think it’s an important step forward in transparency, I would encourage members of the public to have a look.”

Cr Townley stated that there were still a lot of “quite important resolutions not enacted” upon, including the Coastal Works Governance Framework.

Council has recently placed an ‘Outstanding Resolutions Report’ on its website which spans five pages and dates back to Council resolutions made in May 2017.

Most of the resolutions listed are in progress and include the Coffs Jetty Strip Structure Plan, Woolgoolga Whale Trail, and the construction of the Elbow Street multi-level car park.

Councillors unanimously voted in favour of the public register of outstanding resolutions at the recent Council meeting.

Council’s Outstanding Resolutions Report can now be viewed on Council’s website on the ‘minutes and agendas’ page at https://www.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/Your-Council/About-Council/Council-meetings/Council-meeting-minutes-and-agendas.
