19.0  Confidential Matters – Closed Session

 NOTE 1: Councillor Sprott returned at 10:49pm

108/23 Resolved

Cr Grattan / Cr Bingham

That:

1.       In accordance with the requirements of section 10A of the Local Government Act 1993 as addressed below, Council resolve to close the meeting to the public to consider and discuss:

a.     Item 19.1 RFT2022/206 - Design and Construct Morgan & Oxford Falls Road Bridge on the basis that it involves the receipt and discussion of commercial information of a confidential nature that would, if disclosed, prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied it [10A(2)(d(i)) Local Government Act 1993].

This report discusses/provides advice concerning commercial tenders. On balance, the public interest in preserving the confidentiality of the information about the matter outweighs the public interest in maintaining openness and transparency in Council decision-making because the disclosure of this information would result in the release of commercial in confidence information.

2.         The resolutions made by the Council in Closed Session be made public after the conclusion of the closed session and such resolutions be recorded in the minutes of the Council meeting.
