10 CE8/26 Food
Organics Collection Services - Negotiation Report
This report was dealt with in confidential
session, under Section 10A (2) (c) (d) of the Local Government Act, 1993.
This report contains information that would, if disclosed, confer a
commercial advantage on a person with whom the council is conducting (or
proposes to conduct) business; AND contains commercial information of a
confidential nature that would, if disclosed (i) prejudice the commercial
position of the person who supplied it; or (ii) confer a commercial advantage
on a competitor of the council; or (iii) reveal a trade secret. (This Report
is considered confidential under Section 10A(2)(d)(i) of the Local Government
Act as it contains information of a confidential nature that would, if
disclosed prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied it.
Discussion of the matter in an open Meeting
would, on balance, be contrary to the public interest because the Report
contains information provided by tenderers which includes sensitive
information about their business operations, methodologies and costs.
The publication of such information could result in the withholding of
similar information by potential tenderers in future, therefore limiting
Council’s ability to make an informed decision about future tenders.)

13 QWN4/26 Footpath
Delivery in Berowra
(F2004/09803)
|
|
ASKED
BY COUNCILLOR TILBURY
TO The General Manager:
What are the total number of
recorded submissions/requests received from the community asking for the
delivery of a footpath for Berowra, Richards Close – The Gully Road to
End – item 102101 that is listed in the 2026/27 draft Delivery Plan &
Operational Plan? Please include date of submission/request.
Response
Council has undertaken a search of available records
relating to requests for a footpath in Richards Close, Berowra.
While Richards Close has been included within Council's
footpath prioritisation process for a number of years, Council has not been
able to identify records that would enable the total number and dates of all
historical submissions or requests relating to this location to be verified.
Council notes that the project was previously assessed
under Council's Footpath Improvement Program methodology and allocated a
score within the community request criterion. However, the records
supporting that assessment are not readily available to confirm the exact
number or dates of requests received.
The prioritisation of footpath projects is based on
Council's adopted assessment methodology, which considers a range of
parameters including located access to key destinations, road type,
environment, pedestrian demand, network connectivity and community requests.
All factors are given a weighting with requests allocated >10% of the
weighting criteria
