Consultation has concluded

Council is currently reviewing non-mandatory provision of its Code of Meeting Practice to enhance meeting procedure and increase efficiency within meetings. The most significant change is how Council proposes to provide a Public Forum to interact with members of the public. All proposed changes have been reflected in red text in the draft code.

Following a workshop with Councillors and further consideration of a draft Code of Meeting Practice at the Ordinary Council Meeting held 23 September 2020, Council resolved in part:

That Council:

2. Pursuant to section 361(3) of the Local Government Act 1993, place on public exhibition the draft Code of Meeting Practice for a period of not less than of 28 days commencing 1 October 2020.

3. Pursuant to section 361(4) of the Local Government Act 1993, accept submissions on the Code of Meeting Practice, for a period of not less than 42 days commencing 1 October 2020.

4. Note that a further report will be tabled at the December 2020 meeting of Council, detailing the submissions received from the public and further consideration of Council during the exhibition period.
