Meetings this Month
Attending a Meeting
All in-person meetings will be held in accordance with the COVID-19 Public Health Response (Protection Framework) Order 2021, which outlines Physical distancing requirements for individuals in Red and Orange Level areas.
Unfortunately not all venues are large enough to hold the permitted maximum number of members of the public as outlined in the Protection Framework and we cannot always guarantee available space for those who turn up on the day.
Therefore, for our meetings to be as inclusive as possible, we please request members of the public and Press register their intention to attend a meeting in person at the earliest opportunity and at least two (2) days in advance of the scheduled meeting.
Please click here to register.
Members of the public addressing Council through the Public Forum or Deputation will be prioritised for in person attendance. Provision will also be made to address Council remotely if in-person capacity is reached.
