5.1 PROPOSED RAINBOW BALL

Beverly Moss spoke on the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

At the Ordinary meeting of Council on 23 June 2014, Council resolved the following: “That Council give consideration to establishing an annual event at the Centre Ivanhoe as part of support of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Intersex (LGBTI) community. The function would be an annual ‘Rainbow Event’. Officers have engaged the LGBTI community to determine their support for this type of event, considered possible sponsorship and fundraising options, and have also consider how to best manage an annual event giving consideration to staff resources. In celebration of International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) day, this year Council raised the Rainbow Flag and held a morning tea in the foyer of The Centre Ivanhoe and celebrations with a cocktail event in the evening. These events were well attended and received positive feedback. The possibility of Banyule hosting a ‘Rainbow Event’ was discussed with the LGBTI Advisory Committee. The LGBTI Advisory Committee recommended that Council continue to host LGBTI awareness events to provide an opportunity for the Banyule LGBTI community and the wider community to celebrate at a local level. The Committee also recommended Council host a similar event to the 2014 IDAHO Day in 2015. The Committee also recommended consideration of a joint forum with Moreland and Darebin around LGBTI inclusion such as the ‘fairgo sports forum’ that was held in 2012. This report explores the resources required to deliver a regional ‘Rainbow Event’ and a local event similar to the 2014 IDAHO day. A larger scale ‘Rainbow Event’ in the Great Hall would require increased resources from Council. Potential sponsorship may decrease the cost of the event however Council would need to underwrite the event and additional staff resources would be required. Given the LGBTI Advisory Committee objectives were met with the celebration of 2014 IDAHO day, officers are recommending Council continue to provide an ongoing financial commitment to host LGBTI awareness events to a similar level as previous events.

Resolution (CO2015/5)

That Council: 1. Celebrate International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) day through a flag raising

ceremony and morning tea followed by a cocktail evening at The Centre Ivanhoe on an

annual basis. 2. Continue to provide for a $10,000 allocation in the operational budget to support this

type of event program. 3. Continue to work with the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Intersex (LGBTI)

Advisory Committee in the planning of future events. Moved: Cr Jenny Mulholland Seconded: Cr Craig Langdon CARRIED 5.2 MULTICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING - MINUTES - 20/11/2014

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this report is to provide Council with the minutes for noting from the Multicultural Advisory Committee Meeting on 20 November 2014 and to present matters for consideration arising from the minutes.

The statement is being coordinated by the City of Greater Dandenong.

Resolution (CO2015/6)

The operational performance as at 31 December 2014 indicates that Banyule City Council is on track to achieve the full year budget 2014-2015 and details of the significant variances are outlined within the report and appendices. Management will continue to review the operational variances throughout the year and amend the full year forecast as required.

3. Receive written submissions on the proposal, and hear from persons who have made a

written request to be heard in person or by a party representing them as specified in their submission and in accordance with the Act, at its ordinary meeting of Council on 23 March 2015 beginning at 7.45 pm to be held in the Council Chambers, 275 Upper Heidelberg Road Ivanhoe.
