Question: With Anzac Day recently commemorated, my question is, does Hume Council still support the completion of a Turkish Australian Friendship Memorial in Broadmeadows Town Park as was approved in the Anzac Centenary Working Group? $10,000 had been previously allocated, and the exact wording on the Hume website stated, “Support for a community-led fundraising project to install a memorial in the Broadmeadows Town Park with the words of Ataturk”?
RESPONSE: Director, city planning & places In a report to Council in March 2015 outlining the activities of the Anzac Centenary Community Committee, Council stated it would support a community-led fundraising effort to install a memorial in Town Park. Council is not aware of any current community-led campaign and as such does not have plans to install a memorial in Broadmeadows Town Park.
Question: For each Councillor (2020-2024 term), how many times have they logged on remotely to attend a council meeting instead of physically attending?
RESPONSE: chief financial officer Meetings for this current term of Council commenced in November 2020. Between November 2020 and December 2021 sixteen Council meetings were held online only due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The number of Council meetings attended remotely by each Councillor between November 2020 and July 2024 is as follows:
Jarrod Bell 19 meetings attended remotely
Trevor Dance 72 meetings attended remotely
Joseph Haweil 26 meetings attended remotely
Chris Hollow 26 meetings attended remotely
Jodi Jackson 66 meetings attended remotely
Naim Kurt 19 meetings attended remotely
Jack Medcraft 22 meetings attended remotely
Sam Misho 30 meetings attended remotely
Carly Moore 26 meetings attended remotely
Jim Overend 20 meetings attended remotely
Karen Sherry 20 meetings attended remotely
These attendance figures only report on whether Councillors attended a meeting remotely at which they were present. Meetings at which Councillors were an apology or otherwise not present are not included in these figures.
Question:The council generally holds an annual planning evening, day, or weekend. Which Councillors attended each one of these for this council term?
