Water, Waste and Energy, Natural Areas Committee , Wednesday 9 September 2026 @ 9:30am

The Logan City Council's Water, Waste and Energy, Natural Areas Committee met on September 9, 2026, to review various reports and discuss community infrastructure projects and maintenance programs. Key procurement-related discussions included the delivery of $27 million worth of local infrastructure projects over the past year, including innovative materials like FRP decking and recycled concrete in park boardwalks. A significant motion was passed to investigate a proactive tree maintenance program, potentially funded by reallocating a portion of divisional local infrastructure program (LIP) funds to operational maintenance, with councilors debating the implications of using capital funds for operational expenses. The committee also approved moving into a confidential session to discuss a critical infrastructure risk management program, with a subsequent motion to defer the report to the ordinary council meeting. Overall, the meeting focused on capital project delivery, budget reallocations for maintenance, and procedural decisions affecting future procurement and funding allocations.
