5(a) Church Point Plan of Management. The community meeting organised by Pittwater Council went really well with great representation from the off-shore community. The next step will be for the Councillors to assess the plan and for Council to work out how much it will all cost.

The subject of car-sharing was raised, with the possibility of Council dedicating a certain number of spots to help promote the scheme in addition to providing bike-parking.

Action: T Mottl to include an update on the CP Plan of Management in Bayswatch. L Woods to provide an outline of a car-sharing scheme to also be included and M Doherty to investigate bike-parking.

K Lambert to contact M Eriksson from Pittwater Council for minutes of the community meeting to put onto the WPCA website.

5(b) Consolidation of resident details.

Action: M Vaughn to contact M Anderson for an update.
