Additional Council meeting on Thursday

Due to a procedural oversight in the Orange City Council agendas that were distributed in the public gallery area of the Council chamber at the meeting on Tuesday September 20 the meeting did not proceed to deal with items listed for the closed session.

While closed items were listed on the Council website they should also have been published in the agendas made available to the public in the gallery.

As they were not the matters were deferred.

Due to the matters being urgent in nature dealing with tenders and contracts an extraordinary meeting will be held at 7pm on Thursday 22 September.

The following matters will be considered by this extraordinary closed meeting:
