MOTION FOR CONFIDENTIAL COMMITTEE N1

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PAPER

DIRECTOR CORPORATE & COMMUNITY SERVICES CONFIDENTIAL REPORT J1 – J8

DCCS1 CONF - Formalising Drainage Easements at Crescent Head J1
CONF. File: LA9759, LA9516

REASON FOR PRESENTATION OF REPORT ON A CONFIDENTIAL BASIS

This report is submitted on a confidential basis as it involves information that would, if disclosed, confer a commercial advantage on a person with whom the council is conducting (or proposes to conduct) business. (Local Government Act 1993, section 10A(2)(c))

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

DCCS2 CONF - Mid North Coast Wireless Broadband Project – Grant Application J4
File: 722

REASON FOR PRESENTATION OF REPORT ON A CONFIDENTIAL BASIS

This report is submitted on a confidential basis as it includes information that would, if disclosed, confer a commercial advantage on a person with whom the Council proposes to conduct business (Sec. 10A (2) (c) of the Local Government Act 1993).

Discussion on the matter in an open meeting would disclose information on which a grant application has been based, which would on balance, be contrary to the public interest should the proposal proceed to the implementation stage

GENERAL MANAGER'S CONFIDENTIAL REPORT K1-K*

GM1 CONF - Various Legal Matters – Current Position K1
File: 155

REASON FOR PRESENTATION OF REPORT ON A CONFIDENTIAL BASIS

This report is submitted on a confidential basis as it involves advice concerning litigation, or advice that would otherwise be privileged from production in legal proceedings on the ground of legal professional privilege. (Local Government Act 1993, Section 10A(2)(g))

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