PRESENTATION

REASON FOR PRESENTATION ON A CONFIDENTIAL BASIS

This presentation is confidential on the basis that it involves commercial information of a confidential nature that would, if disclosed, confer a commercial advantage on a competitor of the council. (Local Government Act 1993, section 10A(2)(d)(ii) - Commercial Advantage on Competitor)

On balance, the public interest in preserving the confidentiality of the commercial information outweighs the public interest in openness and transparency in council decision making by discussing the matter in open meeting.
