Committees
Utilising committees is one way Council engages local residents in its operations and decision making. There are three types of committees:
- advisory committees, whose membership may include experts, professionals, government employees, community representatives and Council staff, as well as Councillors
- community committees, which are delegated by Council to perform certain functions, such as managing a public hall or other property
- committees external to Council, which are attended by Councillors and/or Council staff on behalf of the community.
Advisory committees
Council's advisory committees provide advice to Council on a range of issues and offer a valuable opportunity for information exchange with our community. Each committee has at least one councillor as a member as well as a range of other community representatives.
Our advisory committees are:
