From February 2022, the City’s Council Meetings including Agenda Briefing Forums, Ordinary Council Meetings and, if required, Special Council Meetings, will be held electronically via Microsoft Teams. This decision has been made based on recent State Government directives related to the ongoing COVID-19 State of Emergency declarations.
To hold these meetings electronically, changes have been made to processes for making submissions, deputations, and public questions.

At the time of the Agenda Briefing Forum, individuals approved to give a submission or deputation will be invited into a Microsoft Teams Meeting to present at the relevant item. Details of the Teams meeting will be communicated to these individuals prior to the Meeting’s commencement.
There will be no attendance in person.
