Council’s Code of Meeting Practice provides a set of meeting rules for accessible, orderly, effective and efficient meetings. The code is based on the NSW Office of Local Government’s Model Code of Meeting Practice and applies to all meetings of Council, public forums and any committees of council.
The 2025 Model Code of Meeting Practice has been issued by the Office of Local Government (OLG) and prescribed under the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021. Councils must adopt a code of meeting practice that incorporates the mandatory provisions of the Model Code by 31 December 2025.
The intention of the changes to the Model Code is to ensure meetings are conducted in a dignified and orderly way and to promote community confidence in councils and their decisions. The changes with the most direct and significant impact are the prohibition of pre-meeting briefing sessions, restrictions on attendance by audio-visual link and absences from Council meetings and powers of the Mayor to deal with disorder.
