consider matters <strong>of</strong> urgency.<br />
DETAILS:<br />
Special Council Meeting - 20 September 2012<br />
Item 1: MRC Waste Facility Site Amendment Local Law 2012<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this local law is to implement changes as requested by the Joint Standing<br />
Committee on Delegated Legislation. The Committee has reviewed the Mindarie Regional<br />
Waste Facility Site Local Law and has recommended a number <strong>of</strong> minor changes to be<br />
addressed. These recommendations have been endorsed by the MRC and approved to be<br />
advertised for public comment.<br />
Item 2: Extend City <strong>of</strong> Stirling's Exemption to Dispose <strong>of</strong> Waste at MRC's Facilities<br />
As the withdrawal <strong>of</strong> City <strong>of</strong> Stirling from the Mindarie Regional Council has not been finalised,<br />
it is necessary to consider another waste tipping exemption in accordance with the MRC<br />
constitution. In June 2012, an exemption was extended to expire on 30 September 2012.<br />
The Minister to date has not advised how long he is going to deal with the withdrawal and, as<br />
such, it is extremely unlikely that a decision would be made prior to 30 September 2012. It is<br />
accepted the State Government has now presented its position on the Metropolitan Local<br />
