5 MAYOR’S REPORT 5.1 RECENT VISITS AND SPEECHES


5 MAYOR’S REPORT (Continued) 5.1 RECENT VISITS AND SPEECHES (Continued)

35th Anniversary for the Gold Coast Eisteddfod Cr D Gates, Cr Peter Young, Cr G Baildon, Cr R La Castra, Cr H Vorster, and Cr Pauline Young attended.

The Gold Coast Eisteddfod began in 1982 as part of ‘Tropicarnival’, Gold Coast City’s first ever Festival.

It attracted some 600 competitors in the first year and whilst the Festival ceased in 2000, the Eisteddfod has continued to grow.

It is now the largest competition of its kind in the country staged in August and September each year.

Entries are received from the south east Queensland region and indeed from all States of Australia.

Apart from individual entrants, around 158 Primary and Secondary Schools and more than 70 Dance Studios participate in sections which include:

Solo & Group Dance,

Piano, Strings, Brass & Wind and Instrumental Groups

Bands, Orchestras

Vocal & Choral; and

Special Needs.

Last year, over 70,000 competitors took to the stage in 575 sections over 7 weeks.



Seahorse Nippers Program for Special Needs Kids It was a pleasure to visit the North Burleigh Seahorse Nippers for their last carnival of the year.

The Seahorse Program is a surf life-saving program for children with special needs who would otherwise be unable to participate in a regular nipper program.

This was a fantastic end to season 2 for the North Burleigh Seahorse Nippers.

30 children, 40 volunteers and 100 friends and families attended to celebrate the children’s achievements.



ANZAC Day During these commemorations, we honour the service and sacrifice of all those who have worn our nation’s uniform, including the more than 102,000 who have made the supreme sacrifice.

Thanks to our RSLs, and services like this, the ANZAC legacy lives on – celebrating the values of mateship, courage, self-sacrifice and perseverance.

Like all of you, I attended several ANZAC Day services across the city.

I began at Helensvale for the Dawn Service, followed by the Southport RSL service and then the Surfers Paradise RSL service at midday.

Between 2014 and 2018 Australia is commemorating the ANZAC Centenary, marking 100 years since our nation’s involvement in the First World War.

The First World War helped define us as people and as a nation - during the ANZAC Centenary we are remembering not only the original ANZACs who served at Gallipoli and the Western Front, but commemorate more than a century of service by Australian servicemen and women.

This encompasses all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations in which Australians have been involved.

It was clear this ANZAC Day that Gold Coasters were truly reflecting upon Australia’s military history, its costs and its impacts on our nation.



Taiwanese Government Delegation This delegation wanted to know how Regional Development Australia Gold Coast builds relationships across all levels of government, the private sector and the community.

They heard a presentation from RDA.

The delegation also wanted to learn about the Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard and to make a site inspection of this facility, which they did in the afternoon.

The image is of a presentation from RDA Gold Coast and Gold Coast City Marina and Shipyard.



Gold Coast Airport Terminal Redevelopment Project "Lift" Launch Cr W Owen-Jones, Cr Peter Young, Cr G Tozer, Cr P Taylor, Cr H Vorster, Cr Pauline Young and Cr G O’Neill attended.

The redevelopment represents an investment of approximately $300 million by Queensland Airports Limited - the owner and operator of Gold Coast Airport.

Construction is planned to commence mid this year to include:

2 new wide-bodied air craft stands;

a 3-level terminal development;

4 aerobridges; and

improved ground transport facilities.

This project will enhance the airport’s capacity and infrastructure to ensure it can meet domestic and international passenger demand in the future.

This stage of the redevelopment will be completed in late 2017 prior to the Commonwealth Games.



Smart Cities Summit I was invited by the Prime Minister to attend this conference down in Melbourne.

I know the Federal Government are looking to do city deals and with that in mind I’m negotiating for the Gold Coast as an exemplar city because we have so many things happening.



Beihai Delegation This was a high-level visit by Mayor Lin of Beihai.

Beihai is our Sister City since 1997, originally signed by then Mayor Gary Baildon (19th year).

The Mayor and his delegation visited Skypoint at Q1, our Disaster Management Centre, Chinatown, Burleigh Heads and Gold Coast Tourism.

Beihai have designed the Harmony Paifang installed in Chinatown.

Beihai have also provided a proposal for the Harvest Paifang in a similar Han Dynasty style.



Launch of Volunteering Gold Coast Week I was delighted to accept the role of Ambassador for Volunteering Gold Coast.

This week is national volunteering week across Australia and the various organisations such as Volunteering Gold Coast are undertaking a ‘call to action’ to attract more volunteers.

Their theme is Everyone Loves a Volunteer so I encourage everyone with time to spare or energy to give, to go to the Volunteering Gold Coast site and consider becoming a volunteer.



Gold Coast Mother’s Day Classic Cr P Taylor and Cr Pauline Young attended.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed female cancer in Australia - Unfortunately, statistics show that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

Over 4,000 people transformed Broadbeach into a sea of pink for a wonderful cause for awareness of breast cancer.

Mayoress also spoke and led a minute’s silence.

The Women in Super Mother’s Day Classic is Australia’s largest charity walk/run event, celebrating its 8th year here on the Gold Coast.

By 2015 the Mother’s Day Classic has raised over $24 million for breast cancer research, and this year the aim is to raise another $4 million.



Mayoral Technical Advisory Committee Chairman Cr C Caldwell, Deputy Mayor Cr D Gates and Observer Cr W Owen-Jones attended.

The scope of the Mayoral Technical Advisory Committee is to provide extensive technical advice regarding the development of the new planning scheme.

This morning’s focus was on the Disaster Management Unit and flood mapping.



City Flag In 2014 I proudly received the Commonwealth Games flag from the City of Glasgow.

Apart from the legacy, financial, sporting and social opportunities that the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games will bring our region, we have an opportunity to consider if it is time for our city to embrace our own flag.

Here is a 5min video presentation that reinforces how, and why, a city’s flag is more than just replicating the Council crest on fabric, and flying it as a city flag.

So, where do I propose to go to from here?

We have a City Panel of over 11,500 people.

I say to you, let’s ask them? What are their thoughts?

Using the City Panel, we could seek the views of these 11,500 residents regarding a possible City Flag for the Gold Coast for as little as $350.

If the public do want it, then I will take this to the EDMP Committee, which is tasked with City Reputation.

And from there, we can look at the process of possibly designing up a suitable City Flag.

Personally, my view is to engage the community to design it in a design competition. RESOLUTION G16.0510.005 moved Cr T Tate seconded Cr D Gates That the Mayor’s Report be welcomed and noted.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY


6 CLARIFICATION - MEMBERS Cr PJ Young. On Friday 6 May 2016, the Gold Coast Bulletin published an article featuring on the front page, photograph and the headline ‘Trust Issues’. Cr Peter Young’s name was mentioned in connection to Simone Holazapel, that he had been the recipient of some campaign advice from her. This is incorrect. The error was acknowledged by the Gold Coast Bulletin and a retraction and apology was published in the Bulletin the following day. I would just like it on Council record. Cr T Tate. The ABC’s 7.30 Report broadcast on Monday 9 May 2016, mentioned that Mayor Tate is an LNP Mayor. Someone made a comment that this Council is influenced by the LNP. I would just like to clarify, the past four (4) years when people ask, yes I follow the conservative party but as Mayor of this City I am totally independent from any party for decisions about this City. 7 BUSINESS ARISING FROM MINUTES Nil 8 PRESENTATIONS Nil
