St. George’s council approves permits and $5,600 stadium nets; tables shed application pending neighbour contact
Summary
Council approved general repair and a building permit, authorized approximately $5,600 to buy nets for Siki Bennett Memorial Stadium, denied a request to waive a fire protection fee, and tabled a discretionary building permit for 7 Alexander’s Lane pending neighbour notification.
Council approved five General Repair Permits and one Building Permit filed in April 2026 (motions #32/26 and #33/26), with unanimous council votes (6–0). Councillor Joe Blanchard moved and Councillor Selina White seconded a motion (#31/26) to purchase nets for the Siki Bennett Memorial Stadium at an approximate cost of $5,600; the motion carried 6–0.
Council reviewed a request from Western Regional Waste Management asking for a waiver of the annual fire protection fee and decided to keep the fee in place; the Town Manager was directed to respond. Separately, council reviewed a discretionary building permit application to construct a shed at 7 Alexander’s Lane and tabled the item while staff contacts neighbours as a courtesy to identify any concerns.
Why it matters: Routine permits and small capital purchases signal continuing municipal maintenance and recreation support; the tabled discretionary permit demonstrates the town’s practice of notifying neighbours before deciding on potentially sensitive, discretionary uses.
