Consultation has concluded
In early to mid July, we asked community members to review and make submissions on our updated Governance Rules (including Election Period Policy).
Why did we consult?
Under section 60(1) of the Local Government Act 2020 (the Act), Council is required to develop, adopt and keep in force Governance Rules to manage the conduct of Council Meetings and other governance considerations. The Governance Rules must also include Council’s election period policy (section 69(1) of the Act).
Council last adopted its Governance Rules on 30 August 2022, with a review date set at 2024. As council elections are being held in October 2024, this review included consideration of the updated election period policy. Upon updating it with proposed changes, we sought community feedback.
What did we hear?
No submissions were received during the 14-day public exhibition period.
What happens next?
The updated policy is being considered for adoption by Council at the July 2024 meeting.
