PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Nola's report was read to meeting. It was noted that the year had
been an extremely hard one for the committee but inroads h~d been made re the new
lease and as such the draft was now out and ready for comment .• The work of both the
committee and the CRG has made a bid impact on the future of our shacks. We have also
developed the Website, Face book, email address, PO box etc so there are a number of
ways that everyone can keep up to date with the progress of shacks.

As Nola was standing down as president, she thanked her committee for job well done and looked forward to what the future committee could achieve. It was noted that after the meeting we were having the Numguts bush band playing for everyone in the park and hoped as
many as possible would attend. Thanks to Nola for stepping into the role at the last
minute. A timeline of Milestones and actions for the past year was also circulated to
meeting so that members could see just what was achieved during the past 16 mths.
REPORT ACCEPTED: Tony Ar merigo SECONDED: Ray Davies

Nola introduced the Mayor Mr Logan Howlett to the meeting. He told of his time staying
at shacks at Ledge Point and how much fun it is to be part of the community feeling
amongst shack dwellers. On behalf of the Council he introduced Mr Daniel Arndt (Director
of Planning) and Mr Stuart Downing (Director of Finance).
Both Council Officers were given time to speak on behalf of the Council and the works
that have been undertaken to get to the draft stage of the lease. (A list of points taken
from these will be attached). They both then undertook to take question from the
meeting and as far as the committee were concerned; these were very informative on
both sides.

The president thanked them all for their time and effort to come down and take part in
the meeting, in their own spare time. They then decided to stay around for the next part
of the meeting, before leaving for their own commitments.
