February 2024 Council Meeting to be held online

At a Special Meeting held on Monday 19 February 2024, Council considered a risk management approach to ensure the safety of community members, Councillors and staff at Council Meetings, particularly in instances where contentious issues are debated.

Council resolved, that moving forward, a risk assessment will be produced on a meeting-to-meeting basis to decide whether an online or in-person meeting is most appropriate. Council recognises the importance of transparency and the desire for our passionate community to participate in Council Meetings and will ensure community members continue to have the ability to watch meetings, ask public questions and make submissions on the issues that matter to them most whether they are discussed online or in person.

Council resolved that the February Ordinary Council Meeting on 26 February will be conducted online, while further controls are implemented for future meetings. It is Council’s commitment to ensure face to face meetings, where possible, following the February meeting.
