Information or Briefing Sessions and Workshops
Information and Briefing Sessions
Section 90A of the Local Government Act 1999 provides that the Council or the Chief Executive Officer may arrange for the holding of an Information or Briefing Session. To constitute an Information or Briefing Session under the Local Government Act more than one (1) member of the Council or Council Committee must be invited to attend to be involved in the session.
Information or Briefing Sessions are distinct from formal Council meetings, a meeting between a Mayor or Council Member to discuss a constituent's concerns, or two Councillors having a coffee or a training session for all Council Members.
Information or Briefing Sessions may be used to help Elected Members to become better informed on issues or seek further clarification. Information or Briefing Sessions are not used for decision making. Decisions by Council can only be made at formal Meetings of Council.
If the Information or Briefing Session excludes the public (Section 90A(5) of the Local Government Act 1999) a record must be made of the grounds in which the order is made, the basis on why the information falls within the order and reason why it would be contrary to public interest.
After holding an Information or Briefing Session, as soon as practicable, the place date and time of the session, the matter discussed at the session and whether the session was closed to the public must be published on a website determined by the CEO.
