Provisions for Confidentiality

Section 10A (2) (d(ii))  – The Confidential Report contains information that would, if disclosed, confer a commercial advantage on a competitor of the council.

Public Interest

It is considered that discussions of this matter in open Council would, on balance, be contrary to the public interest as it would prejudice Council's ability to secure the optimum outcome for the community..
