Councillors decided at their meeting on Tuesday to allocate $5000 from the Financial Assistance grants.

Artistic director Chrisjohn Hancock said live events had come to a standstill since coronavirus hit and the theatre had been concentrating on online performances.

But with no clarity on when restrictions would be lifted he said all activities were "in limbo" and there were no means of generating income.

Council staff recommended a $4000 grant rather than the $5000 requested. Corporate and community services director Brendan Hollands said the theatre had received recurrent funding under the stream in the past few years. In addition, the Holcim Mayoral Charity Golf Day had awarded $2571.

But Deputy Mayor Peter Walker argued $5000 was "appropriate."

"This group tends to struggle and they do an outstanding job on a shoestring. We need to support them," he said.

"It's not as though they blow money in the wind..."

Crs Andrew Banfield and Sam Rowland said they didn't understand what the money would be spent on, given that activities had been suspended.

However Mr Hollands explained that fixed costs like rates and insurance remained.

Councillors endorsed the $5000 allocation.

The Goulburn Community Radio Association was also awarded $5000 under the program to repair equipment damaged by a lightning strike in March. The strike took RAMfm 103.3 off the air for four days.

A cover letter stated it cost more than $14,940 to repair.

The grant will help fund standby power, an uninterrupted power supply, lightning suppression at the Mount Gray tower and an earth link at the Sloane Street studio.

A local firm has been selected to repair flood damage to Bungendore Road.

Heavy rain in February scoured out the thoroughfare's shoulder, near the Taylors Creek Road intersection, a council report stated.

Denrith Pty Ltd have been engaged to do the work for a tendered price of $265,960. General manager Warwick Bennett also has authority to approve variations of up to 10 per cent of this price.

The road was one of 55 sites across Goulburn Mulwaree damaged in the February deluge. The state government is covering the $7.3 million repair bill.

The council has engaged a consultant project engineer to oversee the work.

At Tuesday's meeting, Cr Andrew Banfield, a Denrith employee and brother-in-law of director Andy Divall, declared a pecuniary conflict of interest in the item and left the room during open and closed discussion.

Mayor Bob Kirk says the animal shelter at Bradfordville can no longer be described as a 'pound.'

"It is about re-homing animals and the staff are very involved in their care," he said.

The council regularly tries to find homes for displaced or abandoned animals, via its Facebook page.

June figures showed 36 dogs and 13 cats were impounded, 12 dogs were surrendered by their owners, 17 were returned to owners, while 14 dogs and 13 cats were sold. A further three were transferred to animal welfare organisations and two cats and two dogs were euthanised.

Elsewhere on the compliance front, rangers issued 33 parking fines in Goulburn's CBD in June, five in school zones and 11 around the hospital.

Weeds have also been in staff sights, with 30 draft directions and two biosecurity certificates issued.

A report stated that officers were focusing on incursions in light of the drought and importation of feed and fodder into the area.

In June, they also cleared an infestation of Johnson Grass beside the Hume Highway's northbound lane at Boxers Creek, north of Goulburn.

"It invades cropping land, is a host of crop pests and diseases, a contaminant of seed crops, is a safety hazard along roadsides and can be toxic to livestock," officers said.

Mayor Bob Kirk has previously criticised the state government for not taking responsibility for weed growth along the highways and shifting the cost to councils.
