Seconded by Richard Hansen. All in favour.

  1. Other business:
  • Kurui – work to commence on new edition of Kurui in early 2017
  • Website – hacked. Chamber has paid $150 for restoration.
  • Christmas in Cooroy Review – another great event with the rain causing the great night to end early. Estimated attendance 15,000. Recommend just having a float for Chamber in 2017 instead of handing out lollies as it gets more attention.
  • Christmas Party. Everyone enjoyed the night we had some Christmas in Cooroy sponsors attend the evening.  Catering was fantastic.
  • CCTV Update – currently the project is running to schedule, installation to start December hopefully to be finalized by January/February.
  • RV stop. Chamber has been made aware of a group of caravaners, Rainbow Lorikeets who are not happy with the toilets situation at the stop. Andy volunteered to go and hand out vouchers to address this situation of the group giving Cooroy’s RV stop a bad review. Danielle to email council re this situation.
