ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                            30 APRIL 2020

  Pros
  e    Well understood by existing Councillors and staff due to its historic use at Noosa Council.
  °    The two initial Standing Committees allow for very informal discussion which is a good learning
       ground for staff and Councillors.
  e    The General Committee deals with major matters/controversial issues allowing all Councillors
       to have input into those important matters before a final decision is made by the Council.
  e    Allows time for further information to be provided to the General Committee or Council Ordinary
        Meeting if required.
  Cons
  e     In the post COVID-19 environment, there may not be as many reports to Council resulting in
       fewer reports to the initial two Committees.
  e     Not all Councillors address all issues at a Committee level before the matter comes to Council.
  °    The majority of items may end up being referred to the General Committee so all Councillors
       can have input which almost negates the need to have the smaller Committees.
