It was advised that the official opening of the entranceway feature to Gilmour Reserve has been programmed for Sunday, 29 April 2007. Cr Baker and the Parks and Reserves Manager were requested to organise the opening to work in with the boat event.

Cr Baker advised that a ‘nozzle’ is to be trialled to improve the jet of water from the fountain which is to be provided by the supplier of the fountain. It was also advised that a single coloured light is to be trialled to make the affect of the fountain more significant which will be at no cost to Council.

It was advised that the slide has not yet arrived from the manufacturer. It was requested that the Parks and Reserves Manager follow up with the manufacturer when the arrival of the slide is expected as completion of the project was becoming long overdue.

Further vandalism has been received to the toilets. Discussion was held regarding consideration of an alternative material for pans and basins for toilets as the present porcelain type are easily damaged. It was suggested that stainless steel basins and pans be used as an alternative.

The members were in agreement that stainless steel pans be installed to replace porcelain type.
