I haven’t been active on social media this week because we have multiple sick family members. What started as a restful long weekend up the coast (my first break since January) ended up being a trip to and long wait at Gosford Hospital ED for the little one, and I’ve had to be more hands on with the kids this week.
I understand that half our councillors have been sick this fortnight as well!
As for what’s been happening, we had a well-attended public forum on Tuesday night where we had 16 registered speeches.
On Wednesday I attended the 70th Anniversary and changeover for the Ku-ring-gai Lions as well as the initiation of the Leo Club of Ku-ring-gai. It was encouraging to see so many people prepared to serve their community.
On Thursday I had a meeting with the NSW Local Government Grants Commission where they shared about the process and outcomes of their latest distribution of federal grants across each LGA. I’ll share more about this in a separate post. We also had our quarterly Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee.
Today I briefly presented at a briefing for the Sydney North Planning Panel and tonight we have the opening of Judith Franklin’s Country Connections solo exhibition at the Ku-ring-gai Art Centre, 5:30-7:30pm. This is part of the Gai-mariagal Festival, celebrating the culture and heritage of First Nations people across this month.
I’ve been trying to keep up with the emails but there’s a bit of a backlog right now. Hoping to sort it out in the coming week.
