Council & Committee Meetings

The Council meets at 5.30pm on the last Thursday in each month excepting December. The December meeting date is determined each year in January and is dependant upon when Christmas occurs.

All Council Meetings are open to the public and there is provision for ‘Public Question Time’ and Deputations/Presentations at the commencement of each meeting.

Council’s Local Laws, Strategy, Policy & Organisation Development Standing Committee is held at 5.30pm on the second Thursday in each month. Although this Committee has no delegated authority and hence can only make recommendations to Council, the meeting is open to the public. There is no provision for members of the public to address the Committee.

The Council each two years will determine if it will appoint any Management or Advisory Committees. Management Committees have limited delegated authority and are open to the public. Advisory Committees have no delegated authority and therefore are not open to the public.

All Council and Committee meetings are held in the Lesser Hall unless otherwise advertised. The Lesser Hall is situated alongside the Main Hall at 1-3 Steere Street, Bridgetown.
