Georges River Council - About Your Council

Council Meetings

To ensure ongoing compliance with the ‘Public Health (COVID-19 Gathering Restrictions) Order 2021’ dated 26 March 2021 and other health guidelines, in-person attendance by Council officials and registered speakers at Council and Committee meetings will be prioritised.

Registered speakers have the option of:

Attending and addressing the relevant meeting in person (subject to restrictions)
Addressing the meeting remotely, or
Providing a written submission for staff to read to the relevant meeting.

Council will continue to livestream all Council and Committee meetings to meet the requirements of Section 10 of the Local Government Act 1993.

Council meets regularly to make decisions for the local government area. Council’s Code of Meeting Practice explains how all meetings of Council operate and how you can comment on matters before Council.

Residents are encouraged to participate and can register to speak on any item on an agenda. To lodge a request to speak at a Council or Committee Meeting, please complete the Request to Speak at Council Meeting form.

For further information on Council Meetings refer to the Council and Committee Meeting - Fact Sheet.
