Council resolved at its November meeting to place the draft Investment Policy on public exhibition.

The draft Investment Policy will be exhibited from Tuesday 17 November 2020 until 5pm Tuesday 15 December 2020.

All proposed changes including key changes and minor administrative changes can be viewed in the draft policy. The proposed key changes made to the draft policy are outlined below:-

• current investments limits replaced with TCorp’s specific current investment limit table as credit and maturity guidelines: and
• adopting Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index as the performance industry index.

The draft Investment policy can be viewed on Council’s website and at Council’s Customer Service Centre 65 Homebush Road, Strathfield.  Due to COVID measures individual hard copies of the draft policy will be provided on request at Customer Service Centre.
