Notices of Motion tabled at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 22 October 2013 which was held at City Hall in Little Malop Street, Geelong.
This request is to assist with costs for a program that involves working with eight young and emerging leaders from diverse communities within the Greater Geelong region to attempt a summiting of Mera peak (6,476m), Khumbu District, Nepal.
The aims of the project are:
To develop and improve understanding of skills in community leadership
To demonstrate the benefits of diversity, tolerance and commitment to common goals and outcomes
To create linkages and relationships between local communities that will increase willingness to work together and create improved social, health, education and economic outcomes for the region.
A documentary film will be made as part of the trek.
The project is ineligible for funding under the Councillor Community Grants Program as it falls outside the guidelines. The two areas are
The proposed activities taking place outside the City of Greater Geelong

Where a Councillor or Councillors wish to support and fund such applications from the Councillor Community Grants Program funding allocation, and the project has been deemed ineligible, the applications are brought to Council for consideration.
