15.2

Cr Fitzpatrick - What's the current progress on the Pambula Sporting Complex and when is the tender going out?

Cr Fitzpatrick said we asked the Pambula sporting clubs to do their draws and have them off the fields by June 2023, that has been done by the clubs but at this stage we haven’t gone out to tender. What’s the hold up and when is the tender going out? Can the sporting clubs keep playing there through until August?

Acting Director Assets and Operations, Daniel Djikic advised Council is ready to go to tender, however the recent voluntary administration of Lloyd Group has diverted Council resources in the short term on the back of some internal resourcing issues. We are working on getting the tender out as soon as we can.

15.3

Cr Fitzpatrick - What's the Joint Regional Planning Panel latest on the Bega sporting complex?

Cr Fitzpatrick asked what is the Joint Regional Planning Panel latest on the Bega sporting complex?

Director Community, Environment and Planning, Emily Harrison advised the Southern Regional Planning Panel will be doing a site visit at the end of May. There was a delay with Development Application until the land issue was resolved, which was resolved at the last Council meeting.

Cr O'Neil - The Lloyd Group was the contractor for Regional Gallery (SECCA), is there any guidance on when the facility might be available for artist exhibition?

Cr O’Neil said The Lloyd Group was the contractor for Bega Regional Gallery (SECCA), can we have an update and is there any guidance on when the facility might be available for artist exhibition?

Acting Director Assets and Operations, Daniel Djikic stated we were advised on 31 March 2023 that Lloyd Group went into administration. Deloitte have been appointed as administrators, we have been working with them to try and get an outcome. On 5 April we received advice of notice of exit of the site. We have now sought legal advice and will navigate our way through the next phases. This does place Council in a predicament as it is highly likely we will need to step into the project. We are currently working through the legal ramifications and the logistics around that. Staff hope to have a report to Council on a way forward shortly.

15.5

Cr Nadin - The traffic lights on Brown Mountain, do we know what the hold up with the works is?

Cr Nadin advised he has seen recent correspondence regarding traffic lights on Brown Mountain indicating works are being done, however someone told him the works are not being done. He asked the Mayor if he knew anything about this as he is starting to get enquiries from the community?

Cr Fitzpatrick advised he had information from TfNSW that the works will not be done until 2024. There are two sections to be done, one section has been done and the other section is on hold.

Chief Executive Officer added that we have had challenges getting contractors that need to do works including environmental and geo technical work, and from our experience, we have thought we were moving down a particular pathway and getting to a solution, and then we have a rain event which changes it; it’s a vicious cycle.

15.6

Cr Nadin - Is Mt Darragh Road being upgraded as an alternative route whilst works are being done on Brown Mountain?

Cr Nadin said recent works have been done on Mt Darragh Road, is this road being brought up to scratch as an alternative route while major works are being done on Brown Mountain?

Acting Director Assets and Operations, Daniel Djikic advised works on Mt Darragh road are being undertaken by Council under the National Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements and the contractors are repairing damage that occurred from slope de-stabilisation due to the impacts of the bushfire and de-vegetation of the slopes and the subsequent heavy rainfall.

Cr Fitzpatrick added there are weight limited bridges on Cathcart Road into Bombala in the Snowy Monaro Regional Council preventing this route being a viable for heavy vehicles.

15.7

Cr O'Neil - What is the status of the sub-division at 71 Fairhaven Way and the stop work order?

Cr O’Neil asked what is the status of the sub-division at 71 Fairhaven Way and the stop work order?

Director Community, Environment and Planning, Emily Harrison advised that we have issued a stop workorder due to noncompliance with the consent and we are awaiting advice from Heritage NSW on when we can lift the order.

Despite the stop work order we can still enforce environmental and public safety controls, and are working with the owner and developer to do so. 

15.8

Cr Robin - Can I have an update on Barclay Street development in Eden - skatepark?

Cr Robin asked for an update on the Barclay Street development in Eden including the skatepark as there is still nothing done except for the pavilion.

Acting Director Assets and Operations, Daniel Djikic advised the skatepark contractor that was initially engaged through tender was put on hold because of AHIP resolution. This has now been resolved, however the contractor has a program of works and we are working to get an update. A  further report with an update will be provided to Council.

15.9

Cr O'Neil - Can I have an update on working with community groups on the volunteer strategy?

Cr O’Neil asked can I have an update on working with community groups on the volunteer strategy and what we can do to get some more volunteers and organisations involved including getting resources and training to assist them?
