The July Alice Springs Town Council meeting was well attended on Tuesday and Mayor Asta Hill spent some time with 8CCC's Kate Lyons-Dawson to unpack some of the big agenda items, including celebrating 55 years of the Council. The trip to Canberra by some of our Councillors and both Asta and Tennant Creek Mayor Sid Vashist for the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) Conference in June, gave the latter two an opportunity to present evidence at the Public Hearing: The House Standing Committee on Regional Dev, Infrastructure and Transport Committee "Local Government Funding".

Council resolved to take steps aimed at improving public safety and reducing the environmental impacts of private fireworks on Territory Day. Council also agreed to ask the Local Government Association of the Northern Territory (LGANT) to advocate for designated locations. A new Governance Framework designed to strengthen accountability, transparency and good decision-making across the organisation was endorsed and the Mayor noted the importance of the Newlandia event for young people in our community. Great news too that the concept design for the new Alice Springs Public Library was endorsed, allowing the project to progress to tender for the detailed design phase, where specialist designers will further develop the plans ahead of construction.
