SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                             12 JULY 2022


Previous Council Consideration
Nil.

Finance
Implementation of the Framework will be managed by the Governance Branch. Any costs
associated with training sessions to support the Framework may be sought from Council’s
corporate training budget.

Risks & Opportunities
This is an opportunity to strengthen Council’s current governance practices and reduce non-
compliance through education, training and awareness. Equally, it is a valuable way to
promote and increase public trust with our community.

Furthermore, implementation of a governance framework has been identified in Council’s
Strategic Risk Register as a key initiative to reduce legal and compliance risk.

Human Rights

In developing the Framework, the subject matter has been considered in accordance with the
requirements of the Human Rights Act 2019 (QLD). It is considered that the subject matter
does not conflict with any human rights and supports a human rights approach to decision-
making by Council.
As such, Council Officers will endeavour to act and make decisions under this Framework in a
manner that is compatible with human rights.
