• Proceed with The Green Sporting and Public Amenities Construction
  Council noted that a higher budget is required, approved the additional project budget described in a confidential attachment, and authorised the General Manager to execute the contract with the successful contractor subject to a satisfactory financial assessment.
  The decision allows construction of the sporting and public amenities project to proceed, but the additional cost has not been publicly itemised in the available minutes.
