Council meetings

Council meetings are the formal decision making process of Council.

Update: A change to our Council meetings
Ordinary Council meetings will continue to be held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at City Hall, however for the safety of the community, councillors and staff and to ensure social distancing, the City will no longer permit public attendance at Council meetings for now.

Meetings will be accessible online to the public and will be live streamed.

Community Focus council meetings which are usually held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month will also be held at City Hall and live streamed.

Note: Agendas will be available here on the Friday before the meeting.
