Committee Agenda & Minutes

In accordance with the Local Government Act 1999 (the Act), Council (and Committee) meetings are open to the public and attendance is encouraged and welcomed.

There are, however, times where the Council (or the Committee), believes it is necessary in the broader community interest to exclude the public from the discussion of a particular matter in accordance with Section 90(3) of the Act.

The public will only be excluded when the need for confidentiality outweighs the principle of open decision making.

In addition to the above, the Act requires the Council to specify the duration of the order (ie determine a suitable period for which the item will remain confidential), and either impose a “release” date or event which will trigger the release of the item or a period after which the Council will review the order and determine if in fact the item should remain confidential.

Section 132 (3a) stipulates that Confidential Items which have been released are required to be placed on the Council’s website.
