Council meetings are the formal decision-making forum for our Council.
The Governance Rules (the Rules) outlines the formal procedures of meetings and debates.
How debates work in meetings
The procedure for debates and decision-making during a meeting item follows the same format. The mayor introduces each item by reading out the number and title. A Councillor will then move a motion.
Generally, the motion can take any of the following forms:
move the officer's recommendation in the council agenda for that item
move an officer's alternative recommendation
move a councillor's alternative motion
move a procedural motion.
If you attend a meeting, you’ll see that the rules follows the state and federal parliamentary systems of government. As a result, you’ll get to see the considering of a motion, debates and votes on amendments by our councillors. It’s the Westminster system at the local level.
