The Council had before it the business planner as prepared by the Chief Officer - Governance.

With regard to item 10 (City Centre Transport Measures) on the business planner, Councillor Malik asked whether the Council would be given a copy of the legal advice relating to the report. The Interim Chief Officer - Governance (Legal) advised that the legal advice was summarised within the report and that the advice was legally privileged, therefore it was not standard practice to share it in its entirety as there would be increased risk. Following an adjournment, it was agreed that the legal advice would be circulated via hard copy, once the Council reached the relevant point on the agenda, however the hard copies would have to be returned to officers.

The Council resolved:-

(i)             to remove items 7 (Beach Connectivity Project - Full Business Case), 15 (Beach Masterplan Phase 2 Development Framework) and 23 (Aberdeen Market Project Update) from the business planner;

(ii)           to note that the Chief Officer - Strategic Place Planning would circulate an update with regard to item 30 (Beachfront Masterplan - Castlegate);

(iii)          to note that item 32 (Energy Transition Zone - Land Options) was likely to be reported at the end of the year, or early next year;

(iv)          to note that item 33 (North East of Scotland Investment Zone Proposal) would be reported to the next Council meeting;

(v)           to note that item 36 (RAAC - Compulsory Purchase) was likely to be reported to Council in early 2025; and

(vi)          otherwise to note the business planner.
