NOTE: Consultation has now closed

Council is seeking feedback on its proposed Governance Rules.

Due to recent changes in Victorian legislation, all Victorian Councils and regional libraries are required to amend their Governance Rules to allow a flexible approach to conducting Council meetings, where required, on a permanent basis from 2 September 2022. The changes will enable Councils to continue to represent their communities and make critical decisions using existing opportunities and/or technology where situations arise needing an alternative meeting method, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the Governance Rules will enable both a virtual (on-line only) as well as a hybrid (on-line via the Live Stream and in-person) setting, it is Council’s position that Council meetings should continue to be held in person at Bunjil Place, and to only enact a virtual setting in limited circumstances. Council welcomes and encourages members of the community to attend its meetings in person or to view the meeting via the Facebook Live Stream.

Submissions are invited on the proposed Governance Rules and must be received by 5.00 pm Monday 22 August 2022.
