WILLOW Court is the subject of three motions on notice at this week's Derwent Valley Council meeting. The first, from Councillor Chris Lester, calls on the Willow Court Working Group Special Committee to provide a detailed report on its activities and fundraising efforts.
The second and third motions are from Cr Damian Bester who is seeking to have the council cease its practice of charging the Willow Court account for the costs of office space at 2 High St, and to have an investigation of the apparently excessive cost of electricity at Willow Court.
There is also a closed council agenda item titled "access options Willow Court".
In written comments included in the agenda documents, Cr Lester says he is seeking to be better informed of the activities of the Willow Court committee, "as opposed to being told that council has provided them with little support or they can only make recommendations to council." He notes that he has neither seen nor heard any report on the committee from its council representative, deputy mayor Barry Lathey.
"The report I have asked for may quite clearly show that many things have been achieved by the Willow Court and Barracks Working Group, because I have no doubt that its members have a real passion for the development of Willow Court and are probably as frustrated as I am that there seems to be much negative debate and not much being achieved," Cr Lester concludes.
The council meeting will be held in the New Norfolk Courthouse at 6.30pm this Thursday. The full agenda can be downloaded from the council website.
