About Planning Committee

Planning Committee Meetings are open to the public, except for discussion of legal, staff or other confidential matters. Members of the public can make requests to speak at meetings.

Before each Planning Committee meeting, a Business Paper is prepared detailing the items that are to be presented to the meeting. Business papers include an agenda (list of items to be considered at the meeting), reports (details of items to be considered by Council) and minutes (details of decisions made at previous Planning Committee meetings).

Readers should be aware that the Recommendations as set out in the Business Paper are simply proposals to the Committee for its consideration. The Committee may adopt these proposals, amend the proposals, determine a completely different course of action, or it may decline to pursue any course of action. The decision of the Committee becomes a resolution of the Council and is recorded in the Minutes.

Agendas and Business papers for meetings are available from Council’s Customer Service Centre, libraries and on our website from the Saturday prior to each meeting. Minutes of the Planning Committee Meetings are placed on Council’s website within 10 working days of the meeting. For further information on Council and Committee meeting agendas, minutes or business papers please contact Council’s Governance department on 9748 9930.
