Four decisions from last month's meeting

LAST month's council meeting considered four motions on notice I had submitted for the agenda. I am grateful to my council colleagues for their unanimous support of all four motions, which were as follows:

COMMUNITY CARD POINTS
Moved: Cr Bester
Seconded: Cr Shoobridge
That the council acknowledges the efforts of Ruth Howie and the co-operation of Woolworths in the development of the Community Card concept.
That the proceeds of the frequent shopper points collected via the Derwent Valley Council's Community Card during 2014 be allocated to the St Vincent de Paul Society for distribution to residents of the Derwent Valley municipality in need this Christmas.


NATIONAL HERITAGE LIST
Moved: Cr Bester
Seconded: Cr Lathey
That the council take immediate steps to follow the recommendation of the Federal Minister for the Environment and apply for National Heritage Listing for the Willow Court historic site in consultation with the office of the Federal Member for Lyons.


LEE'S CORNER
Moved: Cr Bester
Seconded: Cr Shoobridge
That the council adopt the name Lee's Corner for the park to be developed on the corner of High and Burnett Streets in New Norfolk, in recognition of the business that occupied the site for much of the 20th century.


MAGRA RECREATION RESERVE
Moved: Cr Bester
Seconded: Cr Lathey
1. That council notes the request of the Magra Recreation Reserve that the land (title reference SP26169/9) be known as William Hazlewood Reserve.
2. That Council refers the proposed name (William Hazlewood Reserve) to the Nomenclature Board and provides the following information in support of the proposed name (in recognition of the Norfolk Island evacuee who once owned the land).
