Public Exhibition – Draft Code of Meeting Practice
Each Council in NSW has a Code of Meeting Practice which sets out the rules of Council and Committee Meetings of Council to ensure these meetings are open, accessible, orderly, effective and efficient.
The Code of Meeting Practice is based on the Office of Local Government’s (OLG) Model Code of Meeting Practice for local councils in NSW, which includes both mandatory provisions that all councils must adopt, and non-mandatory provisions that councils may choose to include. Councils may include supplementary provisions in their adopted code of meeting practice, provided the supplementary provisions are not inconsistent with the mandatory provisions of the Model Code of Meeting Practice.
Council’s current Code of Meeting Practice was adopted in July 2025 following a period of public exhibition and calls for submission. Shortly after, a new Model Code of Meeting Practice for local councils was released by OLG as part of a broader set of reforms to improve confidence, trust and transparency across NSW councils. Council is now required to update its recently adopted Code of Meeting Practice to reflect the updated Model Code.
Council’s Draft Code of Meeting Practice is now on public exhibition and is open for submissions from 17 October to 28 November 2025. All submissions will be considered prior to the adoption of the revised Code of Meeting Practice at the 17 December 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting.
The provisions within Council’s Draft Code of Meeting Practice are detailed as follows:
