Public Attendance at Council Meetings

Members of the public can attend the Council Meeting online via the livestream link provided on this website the day of the Council meeting.

Council meetings are currently open to public attendance, however limits exist on the number of attendees due to the public health requirements for physical distancing. It is recommended that members of the public wishing to attend a Council meeting RSVP prior to each meeting by calling Council on 6491 0200.

Council Minutes

The Local Government Act 1993 (Schedule 4 Paragraph 13) requires a Council's General Manager to record the minutes for every Council meeting.

The Act (Schedule 4 Paragraph 13 Sub-paragraph (2)) allows the General Manager to only record in the minutes that a matter was discussed in "closed" session and to not record details of the matter unless Council determines otherwise.

As soon as practicable but at least at the next ordinary meeting, minutes are to be circulated to all councillors and are to be confirmed as a true record at the next ordinary meeting by motion of a council or council committee.
