Governance Rules
Council’s Governance Rules establish a clear framework for decision-making, transparency and accountability under which Council must operate. These Rules are based upon requirements of the Local Government Act 2020 and direct council officers and councillors on:
- How decisions of Council are made
- The ways in which meetings of Council must operate
- Electing a Mayor and Deputy Mayor
- How Council will operate during an election period
- How petitions can be presented to Council
