The City of Adelaide Council met on Tuesday, 26 November 2024 in the Council Chamber at Adelaide Town Hall.
Present were The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Dr Lomax-Smith as Presiding Member, Deputy Lord Mayor Councillor Snape and Councillors Abrahimzadeh, Couros, Davis, Elliott, Giles, Hou, Li, Martin, Noon and Dr Siebentritt. Councillor Couros entered the Council Chamber at 5.34 pm.
Interest declarations and procedural ruling
Councillor Martin declared a material conflict of interest in Item 13, Recommendation 5 on the Her Majesty's Theatre Commemorative Artwork Proposal under Section 75 of the Local Government Act 1999 (SA) because he sits on the Festival Centre Trust Board and withdrew from the chair for that item. The Lord Mayor declared a material conflict of interest in Item 12, Recommendation 9 on the Council Member Allowances and Benefits Policy Review under the same section because Schedule 3 of the policy relates solely to the Lord Mayor position and stepped aside from the chair for that discussion.
Councillor Martin sought documents through Regulation 18 of the Local Government (Procedures at Meetings) Regulations 2013 on minimum sporting code standards for facilities for sports played on the Park Lands with a current lease. The Lord Mayor ruled that Recommendation 1 be varied to delete parts 3 and 4, which would return through the City Community Services and Culture Committee on 3 December 2024.
