Our council operates under the Local Government Act 1995. Councillors are elected for a 4-year term by residents and ratepayers.
The role of a Councillor, as set out in Section 2.10 of the Act is to:
Councillors make decisions on matters at Council and Committee meetings. Members of the public can address committee meetings and may also attend Council meetings.
We consult our communities regularly for feedback to ensure they play a role in the decision-making process.
