Council Delegations
Many Council decisions are made in formal Council meetings by way of resolution.
However, for effective functioning of local government, Council can delegate its powers, duties and functions to the Mayor, Council committees, and/or the General Manager.
The General Manager can then, in turn, subdelegate their powers, duties and functions to members of Council staff.
Delegations include functions regarding financial matters, staffing matters, governance, and operational matters.
Register of Delegations
The Local Government (General) Regulations 2015 requires Council to make available a register of delegations. Council’s current Instruments of Delegation can be accessed below.
The Delegations Register should be read in conjunction with Council’s Policies and Procedures as well as relevant Acts and Regulations.
