Committees
Council's current committee structure and meeting arrangements were determined by Council in November 2007, and this structure provides an open and accountable governance system.
Elected members are guided and advised, formally and informally, through a number of mechanisms. The Local Government Act 2002 and other legislation provide the framework within which members are elected and must operate.
Council has adopted a ‘Guide to Good Governance’, which includes a code of conduct to help ensure transparency and a high standard of behaviour. Model standing orders are also used to guide meeting procedures and assist sound decision making processes.
