Participating in Council meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic
In order to ensure the health and safety of Councillors, staff and the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, members of the public are not able to attend council meetings in person. Instead, our community is encouraged to live stream the proceedings online.
This is in accordance with advice provided by the State Government.
