An Agenda Forum is held every third Tuesday of each month. The meeting allows elected members to discuss items in a public forum and leads to effective decision making. The meeting provides a chance for elected members to request additional information and clarification. Formal decisions are not made at this forum. Members of the public are invited to attend and ask questions
The community is encouraged to attend and participate in council meetings that are open to the public.
If you are attending a Council meeting to observe a particular item, please note that not all items on an agenda may be discussed/debated by Council. Items where public questions or deputations are asked are generally (but not always) discussed/debated.
It is noted that the November Agenda Forum and OCM meeting dates are incorrect. A report will be presented to Council in due course to seek Councils approval to correct the Agenda Forum date to the 19th of November and OCM date to the 26th of November.
