Pat Spicer QUESTION 1 Were the tender prices for the remediation work at 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy matching the estimates? Response provided by Kim Rawlings, Director Strategy & Environment We are unable to comment on estimates at this time as Remediation and Subdivision Works are currently in a public tender process. QUESTION 2 Is the funding for the remediation of 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy coming from a grant, a loan or council reserves? Response provided by Kim Rawlings, Director Strategy & Environment As part of the Council resolution on 20 January 2025, council decided to “Support advancing the subdivision and remediation works subject to securing a loan facility, whilst continuing to actively pursue grant funding opportunities". Both avenues are still being pursued, Council has commenced with Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) regarding preparation for establishing a loan for this purpose. Grant applications and Expressions of Interest have been submitted to relevant State and Federal bodies and continue to be advanced as appropriate. We expect to hear a response regarding these applications for grant funding in the next month.
