Code of Meeting Practice
At our meeting held on March 19 we considered the Model Code of Meeting Practice and Model Code of Conduct which have come about due to a review by the NSW Office of Local Government. These documents were prescribed in December 2018, and we must adopt a new code within six months, with or without amendments or additions.
The discussion around having an opening prayer arose due to the fact that the neither the mandatory or optional codes of meeting practice put forward by the Office of Local Government included a prayer at all. There is an option to include an acknowledgement of country; our current code includes a prayer but not an acknowledgement of country and these are the reasons for the beginning of this discussion.
The community is invited to have a say on both the code of meeting practice and the code of conduct prior to Wednesday, April 24. They are available to view on our website, and I expect council to consider feedback at our second meeting in May this year.
Council Agenda
The council agenda for next week's meeting will be available to the community via our website on Friday morning. On Tuesday we will consider:
- A report regarding development servicing rates for water, sewer and stormwater at 1 Racecourse Drive, Goulburn and 176 Taralga Road, Goulburn
- The Local Weed Management Plan including public submissions received
- A Draft Multiquip Quarries Voluntary Planning Agreement
- An update on the progress of Lansdowne Bridge which is forecast to open to traffic in July 2019
- A request to bring forward $40,000 from the 2019/20 budget to begin preliminary works at Riverside Park in Marys Mount.
As always, members of the community are more than welcome to attend the meeting which is held in the Council Chambers at 184 Bourke Street, Goulburn from 6pm. You are also welcome to address the council in regard to any item on the agenda - to do this you simply need to register prior to the meeting by calling us on 4823 4444.
