Lane Cove Council June 2019 Meeting
The June Lane Cove Council Meeting was held on Monday 17th June 2019.
It was resolved that the Lane Cove Council should look into a shared service agreement with Hunters Hill Council. Lane Cove Council and Hunters Hill Council are exploring ways to share services. Shared services are a way for local councils to potentially achieve greater efficiency in service delivery and deal with cost pressures. Shared Services is not a new concept with the Shorelink Library Service being a type of shared service arrangement. Read more here.
Councillors Andrew Zbik, Daniel Strassberg and Francis Visssel’s Notice of Motion in relation to reviewing the use of Round Up was accepted. ITC has been requesting LCC to investigate the use of Glysophate since 2017 (read more here). Some local councils have banned its use or are undertaking a review into its use.
Glyphosate is a chemical that is used in weed management control in many off the shelf product’s, most commonly known for the product called “Roundup” The global concerns over this chemical has seen that the World Health Organisation classify Glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic”. France and the Netherlands have already banned the use of Glyphosate. Vietnam is banning the importation and there are strong restrictions in Canada and many south American countries.
The report will address:
- Any alternatives that have been considered to replace the use of chemicals containing glyphosate;
- A review of Council’s current public notification procedures before chemicals containing glyphosate are used;
- Advice to Council on alternative chemicals / practices that can be used to permanently replace the use of chemicals containing glyphosate; and
- Feedback from Fairfield City Council, Georges River Council and any other Council as deemed in relation to how they have phased out and stopped using chemicals that contain Glyphosate.
The 1st Tambourine Bay Scouts attended the Lane Cove Council June Meeting to see democracy in action.
