Clarence Valley Councillors have voted unanimously to support three Mayoral Minutes at the June 27 council meeting calling for support in celebrating two significant anniversaries this year and seeking information about the government’s pre-election undertaking to provide water security for the region.
Mayor Ian Tiley put forward the first two motions concerning the centenary of the Grafton Cenotaph and the 80th anniversary of the drowning of Grafton 13 cub scouts.
The first Mayoral Minute motion called for council to provide in-kind support and publicity for the centenary observance of the Grafton Cenotaph.
The second motion was that Council note the proposed plans and activities to recognise, on the December 11, 2023, the 80th anniversary of the drownings of 13 Grafton cub scouts and provide in-kind support and publicise the occasion.
The third Mayoral Minute was that Council make representations, through the Member for Clarence the Hon. Richie Williamson, to the NSW Minister for Water Ms Rose Jackson, for more information and support regarding the government’s election undertaking to provide greater water security for the Clarence community, especially in the form of water filtration.
All Mayoral Minutes were carried unanimously.
