   C0520(2) Item 17         Mayoral
  Minute: Restarting Local Sporting Competitions 
   | 
 
 
  | 
   Motion: (Byrne) 
    
  THAT Council: 
    
  1.   
  Acknowledges that many
  adults and children are keen to resume playing community sport on
  Council’s sporting grounds and fields; 
    
  2.   
  Notes the patience
  sporting club members have shown while they wait for a health directive that
  allows Council’s sports fields to reopen for community sport; 
    
  3.   
  Notes that due to the lack
  of open green space
  in the LGA,
  the majority of community sports clubs have to share fields and sporting grounds and that their sporting codes
  have traditionally been divided into summer and winter seasons. We believe that winter
  sports should not bear the full burden of shortened playing seasons as a result of the COVID-19 closure; 
    
  4.   
  Liaise with the NSW Office
  of Sport and neighbouring Councils on any proposed extension date to the
  winter sporting season, noting that a proposed extension will impact on other
  Council grounds outside of the Inner West LGA (including Canterbury Bankstown and Canada Bay); 
    
  5.   
  Be guided by an agreement
  between Cricket NSW, AFL (NSW), NSWRL, Football NSW, Hockey NSW & NSW
  Rugby Union on recommended competition dates for the 2020/21 seasons and
  ground changeover dates; and 
    
  6.   
  Submit a report to the 23
  June Council Meeting on which sporting grounds have capacity for additional
  training or games given the rest the fields have had over the COVID-19 period.

   C0520(2) Item 18         Mayoral
  Minute: Road Network Changes in Haberfield, Ashfield    and
  Leichhardt 
   | 
 
 
  | 
   Motion: (Byrne) 
    
  THAT Council writes to residents in
  Leichhardt, Lilyfield, Haberfield and Ashfield explaining Council’s
  total opposition to the proposed road network changes to key intersections in
  Haberfield, Ashfield and Leichhardt located at: City West Link, Norton Street
  and James Street; Dobroyd Parade and Waratah Street; City West Link, Mortley
  Avenue and Timbrell Drive and; Parramatta Road and Dalhousie Street: 
  a)   
  The letter should also urge residents
  to make a late submission in opposition to the proposal which Council will
  seek to submit on behalf of any resident that requests it; and 
    
  b)    The cost of the letter’s production, printing and
  distribution to be funded by the budgeted funds that have been allocated to Council’s communications
  department in part 7(f) (Attachment 2) of the Mayoral Minute: Actions to
  Address Community Concerns around COVID-19 at the Extraordinary Council
  Meeting on 7 April.

  made available to workers previously excluded from the scheme; 
    
  2.   Writes to the Prime Minister and relevant
  ministers asking them to broaden the JobKeeper scheme so that the freelance,
  casual and contract artists, journalists and other creatives, who are

  3.   Convenes a regional Arts and Creatives
  Forum, via teleconference, that will look at how best to support independent

   | 
 
 
  | 
   Motion: (Byrne) 
    
  THAT Council: 
    
  1.    Notes
  the drive-in concert that was held at the Robyn Webster Centre in Tempe
  Reserve last week (Attachment 1), in an innovative attempt to allow for live

   Motion: (Byrne) 
    
  THAT: 
    
  1.   Council opens an Expression of Interest (EOI)
  for external
  providers to provide training to staff to enable them to deliver a three- month
  trial to establish teleconference capabilities to substitute for the loss of face-to-face consultation and engagement
