Important decisions

Deferred planning proposal matter withdrawn for later report

Council withdrew determination of a planning proposal for deferred matters so staff can resolve issues identified after publication of the business paper before returning it to a future meeting.

A planning decision was delayed, meaning affected residents will need to wait for a revised report and future council consideration.

Enviro One sewer parts and servicing contract approved without open tender

Council resolved that inviting tenders would not achieve a satisfactory result for specialist parts and servicing for existing Enviro One pressure sewer assets, and approved a non-exclusive four-year agreement with Enviro One Services Pty Ltd, subject to review and negotiation.

This supports continuity of sewer system maintenance for areas served by existing Enviro One pressure sewer infrastructure.

Cobargo drainage easement and land acquisition steps approved

Council agreed to contribute to survey costs for a drainage easement at 8–10 Cobargo Bermagui Road, negotiate acquisition of an interest in land at 2 Cobargo Bermagui Road, and if needed proceed by compulsory acquisition under the Just Terms framework.

This supports drainage infrastructure delivery in Cobargo and may directly affect the adjoining landowners and nearby properties.
