24 November 2023
Bega Valley Shire Council is seeking community feedback on five Council policies, in line with the requirements of the Local Government Act 1993.
CEO Anthony McMahon said while the review is a procedural requirement, it’s also a good opportunity to make sure Council policies provide clear information about what the community can expect in their interactions with Council and the way decisions are made.
“Some of the policies require minor amendments, some include newly endorsed procedures and one new,” Mr McMahon said.
Submissions on these policies will be accepted from the community until 7 January.
If submissions are received during the public exhibition period, they will be presented back to Council with staff recommendations before the final policy is adopted.
Policies on public exhibition are:
- Draft Procedure 6.02.09 Councillor and Staff Interaction
- Draft Procedure 6.02.08 Record Keeping Requirements for Councillors
- Draft Policy 6.10 Communications
- New Draft Policy 6.25 Social Media
- Policy 6.08 Sustainable Procurement and Contracts
These are available for review from the Have Your Say section on Council’s website.
