 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (09:34): Pursuant to standing order 23.22 I table a report of the inquiry into climate resilience, including an appendix, extracts of proceedings and minority reports from the Environment and Planning Committee, a replacement for the copy tabled on Tuesday 12 August 2025. I move:

That the report be published.

Motion agreed to.

Ryan BATCHELOR: I move:

That the Council take note of the report.

Just by way of a brief explanation for what is going on here for the benefit of the chamber, the Environment and Planning Committee tabled its report into climate resilience in August last year. Early this year some eagle-eyed readers found a typographical error in the original report, which had rendered on page 101 a recommendation that should have been a standalone recommendation in the report incorporated into the text of a paragraph. The committee had agreed that it should be a recommendation, and after the committee’s time with the report there was a mistake in the production process and it was not listed as a recommendation. This version corrects that error and renumbers the rest of the recommendations. In substance the report is the same.

Motion agreed to.
