Council seeking public feedback on draft Code of Meeting Practice

Published on 17 October 2025

Council is seeking feedback on the draft Code of Meeting Practice, on public exhibition until 5pm on Thursday 27 November 2025.

The Office of Local Government (OLG) has released a new model code of meeting practice and Council has updated its own Code of Meeting Practice to reflect the updated model code. Council seeks the community’s feedback on these changes.

Councils must adopt a code of meeting practice that incorporates the mandatory provisions of the Model Meeting Code.

A council’s adopted code of meeting practice may also incorporate the non-mandatory provisions of the Model Meeting Code and other supplementary provisions. The provisions of the Model Meeting Code that are not mandatory are also included in the draft Code of Meeting Practice.

Community members may view the draft Code of Meeting Practice by downloading the document from Council’s Your Say Snowy Monaro engagement website at www.yoursaysnowymonaro.com.au, or at any Council office.

The final draft will be presented to councillors for adoption.

Feedback may be submitted at any time during the exhibition period by completing the form on Council’s Your Say Snowy Monaro engagement website. You may alternatively provide feedback to Council in writing by email or mail.

Mail: Chief Executive Officer Noreen Vu, PO Box 714, Cooma NSW 2630
