Committees
Manly Council also has regular meetings of its Standing Committees.
There is a set of detailed rules, called the Code of Meeting Practice, about how these meetings should be run and how their Minutes must be kept.
In order to deal efficiently with the technical and administrative issues undertaken by Council, many routine matters are delegated to Council committees.
Public Participation At Council Meetings
In all Committee and Council meetings, any member of the public can apply to address Council through the Public Address provision. This allows 3 minutes of address an item on the agenda with the option of taking questions from Councillors afterwards. Note that only one address in favour of the item and one objecting to the item is generally permitted.
At Ordinary Meetings, any member of the public can address Council on any matter NOT on the agenda through the Public Forum. This provision does not allow for questions from Councillors.
An applicaton form with more detailed instructions for Public Addresses are available on the Council Forms Page under Application to Address Council . No application is required to address Council through the Public Forum
More detailed information on public participation at Council Meetings is available in the Code of Meeting Practice - March 2009(1).pdf
