Hall Committee (Maureen)

Committee another member less - treasurer Rob Furley has resigned for family reasons. Local Government changes to S355 committees in early 2013 therefore our committee elected 'interim' chairperson, Moira Hooper and 'interim' treasurer Bob Griffin. Pergola fit-out going ahead - seating already in place. Pizza oven getting plenty of use. No charge just bring along wood. It's there for community use - allow 2 hours for heating up oven before cooking. Hire: If entire facility booked for a function, hirer to place notice at pergola area notifying residents that ALL BUILDING HIRED,however, if hirer does not require pergola area, a mutual agreement may be reached for others to use pergola facilities at the same time. It is not envisaged this situation will arise too often.

Best wishes for the Festive Season from all committee who will meet for the first time in 2013 - February 13.

Firewise (Len)

From Darryn Briggs. Preparations are being made (and landowners being advised) for a burn off to the north and west of NAC sometime after Christmas when the weather is expected to break, (long range forecast) as there was no opportunity in spring.

Darryn has accepted our list of residents (12 in number) that may require assistance with Emergency Evacuation in catastrophic circumstances and is to forward it to our Council Emergency Management Committee for their consideration. Perhaps a copy should also be held by NAC brigade as part of their local village fire plan.

Forms for reporting bush fire hazards have been delivered to those who requested them at the last meeting and a link to the form is also on the Cove website (on the Fire Brigade page).

Fame Cove/North Arm Cove Development (Len)

Lisa Schiff advised that Council has been appointed consultant to prepare Future Development Footprint for site and is commissioning studies of Flora, Fauna, Hydrology, Marine, Sea bed, Land use. Council Ecologist and Environmental Systems staff are also involved β€œto determine what if any development is approved”. ''Council is happy and approves all reputable consultants involved ''." Studies are needed to allow re zoning and best possible development outcome". " Council is aware of some ecologically sensitive areas and would work to protect these”.

Stage 1 Studies : The studies for the building on the top of the hill are not expected to be completed until the new year and is to be consider separate from the above because of their earlier submissions and part 3a intervention by the Minister. She agrees this is not ideal but the applicant has rights to apply separately as no rezoning is required.

The Community and NAC is to be informed and advised and Lisa Schiff said she would welcome the opportunity to speak at a local meeting when details are known.

Boat Ramp and Water Access Report (Stephanie)

Great Lakes Council has costed the investigation into the suitability of Medina Bay at between $8000 and $10,000. There is nothing further to report at this stage.
