General manager Chris Gillard’s recommends council accept the recent decision by the JRPP.
“It is definitely tempting for council to discontinue discussions with Cleanaway given local concerns by some members of the Howlong community,” Mr Gillard’s report states.
“The impact of a reversal in council’s position is a serious action given the strategic issues and the impact on council’s reputation.
“Cleanaway has a reasonable expectation that council should honour a commitment particularly given it has a permit and the application would have cost approximately $300,000 to prepare.”
The meeting starts 10am.
