MOTION CARRIED VOTING RECORD

|
COMMITTEE RESOLUTION: |
||||||||
|
“That the officers produce a report into the provision of sanitary product vending machines in Council maintained bathrooms.
(i). Report is to include a strategy for a trial, which will be implemented as soon as practicable.”
|
||||||||
|
Rationale:
“Recently the US passed a law requiring all public outlets to provide free sanitary products, including in schools. To my knowledge, no level of government in Australia provides or subsidises any products at all, and GST has only very recently been removed from sanitary products.
The only current free vending machines within Australia are from a charity organisation called Share the Dignity, which distribute period packs through Pinkbox vending machines- however, there is only one located in Hobart (at Colony 47). It is unreasonable to put the onus onto charities to provide vital services that half the population regularly require.
Women’s bodies should not be viewed and treated as abnormal or burdensome. Our City Vision says we are committed to inclusivity, accessibility and diversity. City of Hobart provides other necessities in bathrooms, like soap and toilet paper; sanitary products should be no different.”
The General Manager reports:
“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it relates to the operation of the Council’s public toilet facilities.”
