I'm not sure if he is relying on the ignorance of most people who don't have the time or inclination to sit in on a council meeting (or watch the live stream now) but Mayor Gair was the councillor responsible for the 'poor and disruptive behaviour'.

His behaviour was far worse than anything I've witnessed in parliament question time.

It is extremely worrying that a supposed former Greens councillor could defend that bullying and abusive behaviour.

Furthermore if Gordon Markwart is really so concerned about climate change, why did he advocate for the removal of not just the pin oaks but all the trees and camellias slated for removal for the Station Street Upgrade?

I have also been to several council meetings where Gordon Markwart voted for the destruction of heritage buildings, heritage streetscapes and tree removal.

He also voted for multiple inappropriate developments.

If he really was a true representative for the Greens party and is genuinely concerned about climate change his track record really makes one think.

The Robertson and District Swimming Pool Association (RADSPA) committee held an information session for financial members on March 7.

The current committee was voted in 15 weeks ago on December 15, 2020.

The committee has pursued all documentation for an insurance claim of professional negligence and this matter is now with lawyers.

When the insurance claim is settled, RADSPA's financial position will be stronger than when the first build was initiated.

A grant application has been made under the Bushfire Recovery Scheme for funds to build the Robertson Multipurpose Sports Hall and Pool.

The proposed building's primary use is as an emergency shelter in the event of natural disasters in the region.

The building would be durable, low maintenance, with a solar array and heat pumps for the pool.

It would have a commercial kitchen, cafe, gym and a hall which can be used for functions and many indoor sports such as hockey, soccer, basketball.

The hall, kitchen and amenities are designed to accommodate 300 people in an emergency.

Robertson is ideally placed for an emergency shelter.

Robertson's combination of high rainfall, low bushfire threat, close proximity to coastal urban areas and larger towns of the Southern Highlands makes it an ideal location for this purpose.

If the grant application is successful, the building must be completed within two years and employ local tradespeople as far as practical.

This concept is important for the development for our region.
