Why are we doing this?
The model code of meeting practice provides rules for councils in NSW to help ensure more accessible, orderly, effective and efficient sessions.
Councils must incorporate the model code of meeting practice for local councils in their own code within 12 months of an election.
Our code includes mandatory and non-mandatory provisions as well as supplementary provisions relevant to us.

What is a code of meeting practice?
The code of meeting practice ensures all Council meetings are:
- consistent, orderly and efficient
- fair and respectful for all councillors and other meeting participants
- conducted with transparency and clearly defined rights and obligations for councillors.
What has changed?
A minor update recommends deleting a non-mandatory provision in response to the release of the Office of Local Government discussion paper: Councillor conduct and meeting practices.
It’s anticipated relevant Council briefings will now be held as part of Council committees, which will be scheduled to start earlier to accommodate this update.
