  11.

  12. NOTE: Although the brief for the working group was described in the Minutes of Council Meeting of 21 February 2012 as follows: to establish the parameters for future Christmas and New Year’s Eve events. the topicof today’s meeting is: Noise, traffic, anti-social behaviour, large number of visitors to our beaches in summer, especially on festive days. How can these be managed? However both the Council brief and today’s ‘topic’ are covered by the following consideration of the New Years Eve event.

  13. Question: what is the primary consideration for the event which will adequately cover both briefs?

  14. CHANGE THE NATURE OF THE EVENT…….

  15. This is in line with other major Sydney beaches and would occur with the following qualifications: • Campbell Pdeand Queen Elizabeth Drive to be closed • Police presence • Liaison with the RTA so as to learn of any large groups coming to Bondi, particularly with alcohol (similar to the Many Ferry scenario) • Restaurants and hotels along Campbell Pde open until, say, 1:30pm – an agreed upon and consistent closing time • Bottle shops to close at 9:00pm OPTION 1: no event

  16. FUNDING ……….. Funding previously sourced from the Bondi Beach NYE event to be obtained by holding a major Festival ………. over a weekend or longer, (depending on the nature of the events,) in the Bondi Pavilion and at other venues, at another time of year (perhaps as part of the current Bondi Winter Magic) SUGGESTION!! SOMETHING NEW!! MAYBE AN INDIGENOUS FESTIVAL OPTION 1: no event (cont)

  17. This will stop….. one of the top 10 beaches in the world being fenced off along Campbell Pde(from Beach Rd up to NottsAve) and the Promenade for up to 12 days ………………. (for an event that runs for 6 hours and caters for a small exclusive audience)

  18. 15,000 people and Snoop Dogg in 2011, with thousands more outside the event, the music can be heard throughout the Bondi Basin ……………….. This will stop….. turning the Beach intoa nightclub Image from a website encouraging people to come to Shore Thing

  19. This will stop….. a major drinking and drug taking event occurring in a Council declared Alcohol Free Zone, (with all the ramifications that stem from this approval)

  20. This will stop….. an event that has complete disregard for the community and a complete ignorance about the values of the community as evidenced by: * the Bali Memorial Mural (Chloe's mural) being damaged by scaffolding and fencing being piled up onto it * the trampled and damaged park gardens

  21. This will stop…..an event that residents have, over many years, told stories about the adverse effects it has on their families and their own celebrations of the New Year (documented in Bondi Beach Precinct Minutes) …………………

  22. 2 other options follow, however NO EVENT is the most preferred……………….
