Several members at our last general meeting raised the issue of a sewage spill within Bellvista. The council erected signs around the lake to stay away from the water due to a spill. The signs remained for a week then disappeared. Since then we have not been informed as to When, where and how the spill occured, or what steps have been taken to prevent it happening again.
The general meeting moved that the committee write to the Council in an effort to clear the matter up. (nice pun)
Matt Inglis gave a presentation on Neighbourhood Watch. He explained what was required to progress to the next step.
Step 3 The Steering Committee
A steering committee is the name given to a group of people who share a common gaol, namely, implementing a NHW program in a particlar area.
The steering committee is made up of 15-20 community volunteers whose function is to petition the proposed area to gauge community support for the NHW program.
The above number of volunteers is in no way restricted. If you have more support, the easier the workload becomes. Conversely, if the number is less, then the greater is the workload.
The steering committee once formed is addressed by the DCPC who will outline the program, including members' tasks and responsibilities.
Owing to the heavy workload of the DCPC it will be necessary for you to book a steering committee lecture with the DCPC well in advance-at least three weeks. This meeting will be held at your residence or at some other convenient venue as arranged by you.
It is your responsibility to form the steering committee and it is important that all steering committee members are available to attend this lecture.
A special meeting will be arranged to form this steering committee.
