At its meeting on 26 October 21, Council decided that:

THAT:

1. Note the engagement outcomes from the public exhibition process;

2. Note the easing of COVID-19 related restrictions now that the 80% vaccination rate has been met in NSW;

3. Council does not proceed with further COVID-19 financial assistance as a result of feedback through public exhibition, financial support already provided through Commonwealth funded payments (disaster relief) and funds already provided to local community organisations; and

4. Council note that an equivalent amount of funding was targeted to those most in need in our community via grants to community organization.
