Filming and broadcasting of meetings (webcasting)
From Thursday 6 February 2020, all Council Meetings and Planning Committee Meetings will be filmed and broadcast (in line with NSW legislation) using our new webcasting service, Civic Clerk. This increases the transparency of Council decision making and allows access for members of our community who are unable to attend in person.
Viewers can go straight to an agenda item without having to watch the entire meeting webcast.
Note: If you attend one of these meetings in the public gallery, you may appear in the broadcast recording.
