Several interesting matters will be up for discussion and decision as part of the agenda, including the naming of Leeton's pool redevelopment complex, which generated plenty of debate online.
Some thought the name should remain as the Leeton pool, others put forward suggestions of names for the complex to be named after and there were also more general ideas.
The recommendation to council will be to name the complex the Leeton Regional Swimming Pool.
In other news:
Originally known as the Leeton Memorial Swimming Baths before being renamed the Leeton and District Memorial Swimming Pool in 1962, council had been using the working title of the Leeton Regional Aquatic Centre while the pool has been redeveloped.
However, feedback from the community has led to that title being changed to Leeton Regional Swimming Pool for council to approve on Wednesday night.
Official plan
COUNCIL will be given the Roxy Theatre's development application for official approval at the December meeting.
This is the next phase of the project should council endorse the development application on Wednesday evening.
Drinking no-go
COUNCIL will be deciding whether or not to re-establish is alcohol-free zones in Leeton and Yanco's main street areas, which expired on October 31.
These zones prohibit the drinking of alcohol in certain areas by community members and aim to limit related issues.
Possible light upgrade
AN OPPORTUNITY exists for council to support its second wave of bulk light emitting diode (LED) streetlight upgrades in the upcoming bulk lamp replacement program by Essential Energy.
Council is provided with options for participating in the program, being an upfront payment or a monthly charge.
The recommendation before council will be to opt for the upfront payment for this upgrade.
