22 June 2021 Minutes
3 MAYORAL MINUTE
3.1 AMENDMENT TO COUNCIL COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
Councillors,
It is important that we streamline Committee processes wherever possible to make best use of
Councillors and Officers time and ensure value for money.
In my view, some of the functions of the current Special Budget & Finance Committee (SBFC) can
be added to the current Governance and Administration Committee (GAC) as they clearly align with,
and complement the work of, that Committee.
With those changes we will obviate the need for SBFC meetings before the annual budget process
and save time for Councillors and staff as we remove those meetings from the schedule, with further
financial and overhead savings achieved in reduced printing and distribution costs etc.
Please see attached the proposed changes to Committee functions and note the proposed addition
of Cr Pauline Young to GAC, which in future would be known as the Governance, Administration
and Finance Committee (GAF). Cr Young is a member of Council’s Audit and Risk Committee,
which is an area of responsibility for GAC. As such it is appropriate that Cr Young be a member of
the proposed GAF Committee moving forward.
Recommendations
It is recommended that Council resolve as follows:
1 That from 1 July 2021 the current Governance and Administration Committee become known as
the Governance, Administration and Finance Committee with membership and areas of
responsibility as outlined in Attachment 1.
2 That from 1 July 2021 the current Special Budget and Finance Committee become known as
the Special Budget Committee with membership and areas of responsibility as outlined in
Attachment 1.
3 That the Special Budget and Finance Committees scheduled for 13 September 2021 and 25
October 2021 respectively be cancelled with that business to be dealt with at the Governance,
Administration and Finance Committee.
RESOLUTION G21.0622.002 moved Cr Tate
1 That from 1 July 2021 the current Governance and Administration Committee become
known as the Governance, Administration and Finance Committee with membership and
areas of responsibility as outlined in Attachment 1.
2 That from 1 July 2021 the current Special Budget and Finance Committee become known
as the Special Budget Committee with membership and areas of responsibility as
outlined in Attachment 1.
3 That the Special Budget and Finance Committees scheduled for 13 September 2021 and
25 October 2021 respectively be cancelled with that business to be dealt with at the
Governance, Administration and Finance Committee.

3.2 2021 OLYMPICS LIVE SITE AND 2032 HOST CITY ANNOUNCEMENT EVENT
Councillors,
Further to the Acting Chief Executive Officer’s email of 16 June 2021, there is an opportunity for the
Gold Coast to benefit from hosting various Olympics events at Kurrawa Beach/Park beginning next
month-
1. Live Site for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics / Paralympics beginning 21 July 2021 including an
outdoor screen with the Olympics continuously broadcast, sporting activations, participation
opportunities, seating etc. and all available for free to the community.
2. With the International Olympic Committee members to vote on the Brisbane 2032 proposal
on 21 July 2021, the Live Site could be scaled up to include a public facing 2032 host city
announcement event (similar to the announcement of the Commonwealth Games host). This
could include additional items added to the site including on-stage interviews, fireworks, VIP
function etc.
The estimated cost to establish, market and deliver the above events is $275,000 and it is proposed
to be funded from the event-based sources below which are included in the 2020-21 budget, to be
reallocated as part of the reprovisions process in September 2021.
• 1008042, CEO Olympic Technical Support - $80,000
• 1008218, Broadbeach Events - $55,000
• 1008212, Surfers Events - $135,000
• 1006583, Olympic/Comm Games Support - $5,000
It is expected that there will be worldwide media coverage including crosses to live sites at South
Bank (Brisbane) and Kurrawa (Gold Coast) in addition to significant opportunities for our residents to
engage with these events and the Olympics.
In order to progress with the planning for these events, including making commitments to suppliers,
signing agreements with the broadcaster Channel 7, signing agreements with the Australian
Olympics Committee to use the associated intellectual property etc, I propose the following motion.
Motion:
That Council resolves as follows:
1 That Council delivers an “Olympics Live Site” on the Gold Coast beginning 21 July 2021 which
may include a broadcast of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics / Paralympics and any decision
regarding the 2032 Olympics host city (the events).
2 That the events be funded through existing events-based budgets, to a maximum of $275,000,
from cost centres 1008042, 1008218, 1008212 and 1006583.
3 That the Acting Chief Executive Officer be authorised to make all necessary arrangements,
including entering into contractual arrangements with Seven Network Limited and Australian
Olympic Committee Inc, to ensure the events can be delivered safely and successfully.

COLLABORATION AGREEMENT
PD113/1164/CF (CONTINUED) REPORT CONFIDENTIAL
The reasons why my participation would improve decision making in the public
interest are as follows:
The report concerns itself with Council’s preferred approach to working with other Government
and Non-Government Organisation stakeholders to better curate the economic outcomes of the
Health and Knowledge Precinct, rather than with Mr Shapland’s employer. Besides, as Mr
Shapland is an employee (not management), there is no meaningful nexus between Council’s
investment in the precinct and Mr Shapland’s interests. Given my former role with EDMP which
entailed meeting with investment delegations in the area, the public interest is served with my
experience-informed contribution.
PROCEDURAL MOTION moved Cr Tate seconded Cr Tozer
Pursuant to section 150ES(3)(a) of the Local Government Act 2009, Council resolves that:
Cr Vorster may participate in the decision despite the Councillor’s conflict of
