Draft Code of Meeting Practice
This Draft Code of Meeting Practice is made under section 360 of the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 (the Regulation).
This Code incorporates:
- the mandatory provisions of the Model Code of Meeting Practice prescribed by the Regulation on 12 November 2021 (Model Code)
- some non-mandatory provisions of the Model Code; and
- supplementary provisions prepared by Council, which must not be inconsistent with the mandatory provisions of the Model Code.
This code and all its provisions applies to all meetings of Port Macquarie-Hastings Council (Council) and committees of Council of which all the members are Councillors.
The Council and such committees must conduct meetings in accordance with this Code.
Council committees whose members include persons other than Councillors may adopt their own rules for meetings unless Council determines otherwise.
