These sessions take place on the first Thursday of the month (Planning Committee) and third Thursday of the month (Council). Find out more on our Public Forum page.
Meetings are open to the public and media except when confidential items are considered.

Code of meeting practice
All Council meetings and people attending Council meetings are governed by our Code of Meeting Practice (353kB PDF).
In Council Meetings, Councillors consider reports on a range of Council related matters.
The Planning Committee only discusses planning related matters.
Planning Committee recommendations are adopted at the associated Council Meeting on the same date. This Council meeting also includes any urgent matters raised for determination by Councillors.
Confidential items at all meetings are considered in a closed session, which excludes the press and public.
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.
The video is uploaded following the meeting/s and 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.
Webcasting FAQs - streaming of video recordings
To be used as a guide only. Contact us if you continue to experience difficulties.
The webcast will generally be available on the day following the meeting. This gives Council time to prepare and upload a text version of the minutes that are indexed to the recording of each agenda item. In turn which allows direct viewing of specific agenda items rather than having to view the full webcast.
Council will monitor and make improvements to enhance the service as required.
If you would like to provide feedback, complete the form at Compliments and Feedback.
The Chairperson will advise the meeting attendees that the meeting will be filmed for webcast, and will be available on Council's website.
Everyone attending the meeting is governed by the Code of Meeting Practice (353kB PDF), which includes being orderly, respectful, inclusive, transparent and informed.
A recording in progress light will be displayed in each so that attendees can know when they are being recorded.
The webcast can be viewed from any device capable of viewing and playing video from a website, you do not need to install a program.
