Chief items include grader delivery, road works progress, straying stock control, finance reports, and numerous grant and permit discussions with state bodies and local groups.
A health commitee session reviewed a report from the Commissioner of Public Health and the regional health inspector about Three Mile Bay. The water supply was deemed inadequate for drinking and night soil disposal posed a contamination risk. A centralized hospital treatment system with five components and required water supply was proposed, with an estimated cost near £1000, subject to district-wide rollout.
