ITEM 3 PEST MANAGEMENT REGIONAL MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT GROUP (FORMERLY CLAG) – MOSQUITO CONTROL AGREEMENT HL464/205/-(P6) Refer 8 page attachment 1 BASIS FOR CONFIDENTIALITY Not Applicable. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Not Applicable. 3 PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to advise Council that the Regional Mosquito Management Group (RMMG) – Regional Mosquito Control Agreement has been re-drafted to meet current legislation and conditions and to request that Council continue with this joint arrangement with Redland City Council, Logan City Council and Tweed Shire Council. 4 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS Ex Minute Number G12.0724.029 refers: “1 That Council appoints two (2) Councillors to the Contiguous Local Authorities Group –

Regional Mosquito Management Committee (CLAG). 2 That Council advise CLAG of the appointment of Council’s representatives. 3 That the Contiguous Local Authorities Group – Regional Mosquito Management

Committee (CLAG) be added to Council’s List of Standing, Special and Advisory Committees.

4 That Cr Grew be appointed to CLAG with Cr Gates as the alternate.” Ex Committee Minute HC06.0316.007 refers: “1 That Council approves the signing of the new CLAG Agreement and authorises the

Mayor and the Chief Executive Officer to sign the agreement on behalf of Council. 2 That Council confirms its support for CLAG to make representations to the Queensland

Government (Department of Health and DNR) for the provision of funding to cover costs for the control of mosquitoes on crown land.

ITEM 3 (Continued) REGIONAL MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT GROUP (FORMERLY CLAG) – MOSQUITO CONTROL AGREEMENT HL464/205/-(P6) 3 That Council advises CLAG of its continued support and its nominated representatives.” Minute Number G97.1110.001 refers: “That Council enter into a joint arrangement with Redland Shire Council, Logan City Council and Tweed Shire Council for the coordination of mosquito control within the areas of all Councils, and that the agreement with respect to such agreement be executed pursuant to Section 59(1) and Section 60(1) of the Local Government Act 1993.” 5 DISCUSSION The Regional Mosquito Management Group (RMMG), formerly known as the Contiguous Local Authorities Group (CLAG), was formed in the late 1970’s with the view of adopting a regional approach to mosquito control and related activities. A regional approach was considered imperative as mosquitoes do not recognise local government boundaries and the saltmarsh mosquito has an extensive flight and pest range. The regional approach to managing mosquitoes provides high level direction and agreement on control strategies that maximise benefits to residents of member local government areas. Since 1997, there have been formal agreements in place outlining the operation, membership and functionality of the group. The current agreement was signed by member Councils in 2006. The membership at that time included Gold Coast City Council, Redland Shire Council, Logan City Council, Beaudesert Shire Council and Tweed Shire Council. Following changes in membership, alterations to meeting frequency and difficulties in attaining a quorum at meetings, it was decided to review the Agreement to ensure that it complies with current legislation, is relevant to all member Councils and promotes the efficient operation of the RMMG. The new Agreement has been drafted by Redland City Council officers with input from all member Councils. The City’s Legal Services Branch have provided advice on the draft Agreement and suggested amendments to its content. All the suggested amendments have been incorporated into the final document. There have been notable amendments to past agreements in that: • The name of the Group is now the ‘Regional Mosquito Management Group’( the group

was previously known as the Contiguous Local Authorities Group) • The frequency of ordinary (elected representatives) meetings has been reduced from 3

per year to 2 per year • The number of Councillors that member Councils are to appoint as their representative at

RMMG meetings has been reduced from 2 to 1 • Member Councils have 1 vote each on matters requiring a formal vote • A quorum is now at least 3 member Council representatives • The requirement for the development of a Mosquito Management Strategy has been

removed as the Strategy is in place • Indemnity provisions have been removed The amendments to the Agreement were deemed necessary to meet current demands of Councillors and Council staff, however the intent of the RMMG group remains unchanged.

714th Council Meeting 22 April 2016 18 Community Services Committee Meeting 12 April 2016 Adopted Report

ITEM 3 (Continued) REGIONAL MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT GROUP (FORMERLY CLAG) – MOSQUITO CONTROL AGREEMENT HL464/205/-(P6) Whilst member Councils are responsible for the management of mosquitoes within their respective areas, the need for a consistent regional approach to the control and management of mosquitoes is vital to ensure that desired public health outcomes are achieved. Local governments must keep abreast of issues and threats posed by mosquitoes and through a network of collaboration and cooperation, address these matters as they arise. The Agreement will need to be signed by each of the four member Councils which are the City of Gold Coast, Redland City Council Logan City Council and the Tweed Shire Council. The Mayor and Chief Executive Officer are required to sign and affix the corporate seal to the agreement in the presence of a witness. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND

OPERATIONAL PLAN Corporate Plan 1 Place 1.1 Our city provides a choice of liveable places

We can chose diverse lifestyle and housing options from rural to city living

3 People 3.1 Our city is safe We feel secure and confident in our communities A We plan for the future of the city

We make good choices that create a better future for the Gold Coast community.

Key program work areas Encourage coordinated and constructive partnerships across all levels of government, business and the community to access appropriate levels of funding, infrastructure and services that support the delivery of the City Vision B We manage the city responsibly Our Stewardship of the city provides value for money for ratepayers Key program work areas Deliver a wide range of quality services to the Gold Coast community (as identified in the annual Operational Plan)

7 COMMONWEALTH GAMES IMPACT Whilst there are no direct connections with this matter and the 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018), mosquito control at the time of the Commonwealth Games will be a significant activity to ensure that the health and wellbeing of competitors, visitors and residents are not adversely impacted. Cooperation and assistance by member Councils will contribute to the overall effort and effectiveness of the mosquito management program for the Games.

ITEM 3 (Continued) REGIONAL MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT GROUP (FORMERLY CLAG) – MOSQUITO CONTROL AGREEMENT HL464/205/-(P6) 8 FUNDING AND RESOURCING REQUIREMENTS Funding for Council’s Mosquito Control program is contained within Cost Centre 1007663. Council’s membership of the RMMG and the appointment of a Councillor to the Group has no impact on this budget. 9 RISK MANAGEMENT Not Applicable

14 STAKEHOLDER IMPACTS Council’s participation in the Regional Mosquito Management Group (RMMG) ensures that mosquito breeding in neighbouring Council areas does not impact on communities within the city. The collaboration and cooperation between member Councils will also enable a consistent and uniform approach to be adopted when dealing with new or emerging threats or problems. 15 TIMING The next RMMG ordinary meeting is scheduled for 19 May 2016 and will be hosted by Logan City Council.

ITEM 3 (Continued) REGIONAL MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT GROUP (FORMERLY CLAG) – MOSQUITO CONTROL AGREEMENT HL464/205/-(P6) 16 CONCLUSION The RMMG consisting of representatives from the City of Gold Coast, Redland City Council Logan City Council and the Tweed Shire Council is a mechanism for formalising regional mosquito management arrangements and outlines the operation, membership and functionality of the group. Council’s participation in the RMMG assists in ensuring that mosquito breeding in neighbouring Council areas does not impact on communities within the city. The collaboration and cooperation between member Councils will also enable a consistent and uniform approach to be adopted when dealing with new or emerging threats or problems. 17 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council resolves as follows: 1 That Council continue its commitment to regional mosquito management by entering into

ITEM 4 COMMUNITY VENUES CARRARA SPORTS COMPLEX – PROPOSED NAME CHANGE PN278823/16(P6)

1 BASIS FOR CONFIDENTIALITY Not Applicable. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Not Applicable. 3 PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to present to Council a proposal to change the name of the Carrara Sports Complex located on Nerang-Broadbeach Rd, Carrara to “Gold Coast Sports Precinct”. 4 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS Ex Minute Number CC16.0127.006 refers: That the item be referred back for further consultation with stakeholders. 5 DISCUSSION Carrara Sports Complex, located on Nerang-Broadbeach Rd, Carrara, consists of Carrara Indoor Stadium, Carrara Stadium (Metricon), the soon to be completed Carrara Sports and Leisure Centre and multiple playing fields, including three new fields on the southern side of Nerang Broadbeach Road. The precinct, which is currently undergoing significant changes, will host the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™ (GC2018) opening and closing ceremonies. It will also be the location for Games’ events such as athletics, badminton, wrestling, and weightlifting competitions. In preparation for GC2018, construction has commenced on several area which will ensure that the profile of the complex will increase nationally and internationally. The works include:

• indoor sports and leisure centre • high profile Sports Administration and Training Centre • two elite sports fields • three new community fields • new plaza area and • refurbishment of the current indoor and outdoor stadiums

GC2018 is expected to attract a global television audience of 1.5 billion. During the event, approximately 3,000 media representatives will visit the Gold Coast and will publish more than 10,000 stories about GC2018, the host city and its people. Leading up to and post the GC2018, the complex will also host other major events, for example, the World Badminton Team Championships which will be held in May 2017. It is expected that these events will attract significant media coverage.

ITEM 4 (Continued) CARRARA SPORTS COMPLEX – PROPOSED NAME CHANGE PN278823/16(P6) Although the current suburban name of Carrara Sports Complex meets the need of the local community, it does not place it effectively for national and international audiences. Therefore, with the development of the site, an opportunity exists to rename Carrara Sports Complex to the ‘Gold Coast Sports Precinct’. This renaming will recognise the evolution of the complex into the Gold Coast’s signature sports precinct and harness the media exposure generated by the Commonwealth Games and other major events. Further to this, renaming the area to the ‘Gold Coast Sports Precinct’ could potentially make it more attractive for naming rights arrangements and other corporate sponsorship opportunities, should Council wish to pursue these in the future. Furthermore, the new sports and leisure centre will also be a nationally and internationally significant indoor venue and will be the City’s signature indoor facility. Accordingly, it is proposed this that new venue also be named the Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre. Recognition of former Mayor Clarke AO,MBE In response to a request from Council, officers have consulted with stakeholders in relation to the possibility of naming the Carrara Sports Precinct after former Mayor Ron Clarke AO, MBE. Stadiums Queensland Stadiums Queensland has provided in principle support to rename Carrara Sports Precinct, the Gold Coast Sports Precinct. However, Stadiums Queensland has commercial arrangements in place with the AFL and Gold Coast Suns for naming rights provisions on the state owned land where Metricon Stadium is located. Any proposal to rename the entire precinct after the former Mayor (inclusive of the State-owned land and outdoor stadium) may have implications for the existing commercial arrangements. Gold Coast Suns The Chairman of the Gold Coast Suns has written to the Mayor in relation to this matter. While recognising the role of the Mayor in supporting the establishment of the Gold Coast Suns and supporting the proposal to honour the former Mayor in an appropriate way, the Suns have expressed concern that renaming the precinct after Ron Clarke might impact current and future commercial naming rights agreements. Such agreements are critical to the financial arrangements in place for the Suns. GOLDOC City officers have liaised with GOLDOC in relation to any potential GC2018 commercial implications in renaming the Carrara Sports Precinct after former Mayor Ron Clarke. Below is the response from GOLDOC. “As the renaming is proposed to apply to the precinct as a whole we do not see there to be a major issue, as any commercial sales that may occur are most likely to be directly associated with the individual venues rather than the precinct as a whole. As the renaming that is being proposed is of a non-commercial nature there would be minimal impacts, we would be unable to support the renaming of the precinct by a commercial brand as this would be a potential sponsor conflict and at odds with the venue use agreements.”

ITEM 4 (Continued) CARRARA SPORTS COMPLEX – PROPOSED NAME CHANGE PN278823/16(P6) Options to recognise former Mayor Ron Clarke AO, MBE A number of options to recognise the former Mayor Ron Clarke are already being considered by various groups. GOLDOC has also advised that it is currently looking at opportunities to recognise the former Mayor and his contribution to securing the Commonwealth Games for the Gold Coast and Queensland. Officers have been advised that the Runaway Bay Sports Super Centre is proposing to honour the former Mayor at the complex and is expected to make an announcement in the near future. An opportunity may exist as part of the redevelopment of Parklands at Southport to name a new central park within the redevelopment after the former Mayor. As the location for the Games Village in 2018, this new high quality regional park will have a high profile and long term would continue to have high visibility and provide certainty of tenure, with the City to become the asset owner. This opportunity could be explored further with the State Government, Economic Development Queensland, and the current owner of the land. There may also be alternatives to recognising Ron Clarke at the Carrara Sports Precinct. These options could include erecting a statue or memorial within the precinct or naming the arena inside the new Carrara Sports and Leisure Centre after the former Mayor. Such solutions would represent a significant long term tribute to the former Mayor and preserve the opportunity for the precinct to be renamed the Gold Coast Sports Precinct to maximise exposure for the Gold Coast in the lead up to, during and after the Commonwealth Games. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND

ITEM 4 (Continued) CARRARA SPORTS COMPLEX – PROPOSED NAME CHANGE PN278823/16(P6) 15 TIMING Construction works at Carrara Sports Complex are well underway. To support this, considerable collateral has already been developed using the existing name. This collateral includes fence wrap, project signage, fact sheets, and newsletters. It is proposed that following Council’s decision, that no new collateral will be developed until construction is completed. Existing collateral such as fence wrap and project signage should be retained until construction works are completed in late 2016. 16 CONCLUSION An opportunity exists to rename Carrara Sports Complex to the ‘Gold Coast Sports Precinct’ and the Carrara Sports and Leisure Centre to the ‘Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre. This will recognise the evolution of the complex into the Gold Coast’s signature sports precinct and harness the media exposure generated by the Commonwealth Games and other major events. Further to this, renaming the complex to the Gold Coast Sports Precinct may also make it more attractive for naming rights arrangements and other corporate sponsorship opportunities should Council wish to pursue these in the future. It is considered that the proposal meets the requirements of Council’s Signage and Brand Policy. RECOMMENDATION ADOPTED AS PRINTED COUNCIL MEETING 22 APRIL 2016 17 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council resolves as follows: 1 That the Carrara Sports Complex located on Nerang-Broadbeach Rd, Carrara be
