ASTC May meeting with Asta Hill

After a shaky start to the live stream on antiquated equipment, the May Alice Springs Town Council went ahead, assuring the members of the public in the gallery that funds have been committed for the infrastructure's upgrade. Proceedings were recorded but not able to be live streamed, so you can now listen back on their website. Prayers began acknowledging the family of Kumanjayi White's family in the wake of the announcement that no charges would be laid for his death. Mayor Asta Hill spoke on 8CCC about this month's meeting, with some highlights being the new Whistleblower Policy and the report on homelessnes. T%he Whistleblower Policy has been endorsed to strengthen good governance, accountability and integrity across the organisation, Council has obligations to report suspected improper conduct and ensure protections are in place for those who speak up, providing a clear framework for Council team members and Elected Members to safely raise concerns and reinforcing a culture of transparency. Council received a report outlining a range of potential short-term actions to support people experiencing homelessness in Alice Springs, alongside longer-term opportunities requiring further investigation.Support the show: https://8ccc.com.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
