Council has developed a draft Establishment and Management of Committees Policy that includes the principles and guidelines for establishing and operating Council committees.

These principles and guidelines address:

  • Community engagement
  • Community Council Action Teams
  • Roles of Committees in Local Government
  • Types of Committees in Local Government
  • Key Objectives in Establishing Committees

Council resolved at its August 2025 Ordinary Council meeting to place this draft policy on public exhibition for a period not less than 28 days with a further report to come back to Council detailing the outcomes of submissions.
