Transparency in Decision Making

Transparency in Decision Making

Local Government deals with a wide range of complex issues. Council has implemented a robust and transparent process to allow Councillors to be fully informed prior to making a decision in the community interest.

Ordinary, special and committee meetings of council are streamed live and retained for later viewing via our YouTube channel.

Agendas including officer reports as well as minutes of the meetings proceedings are kept for all meeting types and publicly available on our Agendas and Minutes portal.

Briefing Sessions and Workshops

Briefings and Workshops are informal meetings for Councillors to be briefed about complex matters to ensure informed decisions can be made when the matter proceeds to committee or council for a decision. Minutes are taken for each session with both the agenda and background material published on the Agendas and Minutes portal in accordance with the Briefing Session and Workshops Policy(PDF, 369KB).
