Council meetings are public forums where Councillors come together to meet as a Council and make decisions about important, strategic and other matters.

Council meetings are decision-making forums and only Councillors have a formal role. However, Council is committed to ensuring that any person whose rights will be directly affected by a decision of Council is entitled to communicate their views and have their interests considered before the decision is made. You can participate in the meeting either during Public Question Time or by making a submission in relation to an item to be considered at the meeting.

Note - Due to an administrative error, an incorrect version of the draft Yarra Councillor Social Media Policy (Item 8.1, Attachment 2) appeared on our website from approximately 10.00am to 12.30pm on Thursday. This was an early draft prepared for discussion purposes and does not reflect the officer advice to the Council. The situation has since been rectified and Council apologises for the error.
