How to participate

Members of the public may express their views on specific issues before the Council in the following ways:

Request to speak at a Council or Committee meeting (Deputation)

A deputation allows you to speak at a scheduled Council or, in some cases, Committee meeting about a matter that is within Council’s responsibilities.

You can request to make a deputation as an individual or representing a group or organisation.


Request a deputation

To request a deputation, email governance@npsp.sa.gov.au with:

  • a short summary of the subject matter of your deputation
  • the relevant Meeting Agenda item the matter relates to
  • whether you are representing a group or organisation.

All deputation requests need to be reviewed by the Mayor or relevant Committee Presiding Member.

The Council therefore requests that a request for a deputation is provided by 12 noon on the day of the meeting you wish to attend.

Administration will advise you whether your request has been approved.


Making your deputation

If your request is approved:

  • your deputation will be scheduled near the beginning of the meeting
  • you will have up to five minutes to speak
  • your name and the topic of your deputation will be recorded in the meeting minutes
  • Council Members may ask questions after your deputation
  • Please advise of any support that may be required from an accessibility perspective.


On the day of the meeting

If you are approved to make a deputation:

  • arrive before the meeting starts
  • provide your deputation within the allocated five minutes.


Meeting etiquette

Deputations must be respectful and relate to the approved subject matter.

Defamatory, offensive or derogatory comments are not permitted.

Council and Committee meetings are open to the public. Members of the public cannot participate in the debate at the Meeting even if they have been approved to make a deputation.
