Reporting from public council minutes. How this article was prepared
Orange City Council has accepted a $2,134,948.94 tender, excluding GST, from Glascott Landscape & Civil Pty Ltd to construct the John Davis Stadium field, according to the meeting minutes.
The resolution authorised the Chief Executive Officer to enter into the necessary contract documentation. It does not state that construction has started or that the tender amount has been paid.
Councillors considered the tender in closed session on 20 October under the Local Government Act provision covering information that could confer a commercial advantage on a person with whom Council was conducting, or proposed to conduct, business.
The resolution was read out when the meeting resumed at 7.16pm. All 12 councillors listed in the vote supported it, with no votes against and none recorded as absent.
The public minutes do not give a construction start date, completion date, funding source or delivery timetable. The meeting closed at 7.18pm.
