Finance

Provision exists within the 2020-21 budget to meet any expenses associated with the conduct of
Council meetings.

Risks & Opportunities

Section 277 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 (the Regulation) requires Council to publish,
at least once per year, a notice of the days and times of its Ordinary meetings and Standing
Committee meetings. Section 257 of the Regulation requires local governments to meet at least
once per month. There is a risk that Council would be in breach of the Regulation if it elected to
alter the frequency of meetings to less than once per month, and/or if it elected not to adopt and
publish an annual meeting schedule.
