Council meeting procedures
You can find information about how Whittlesea Council is governed in our Governance Rules 2020 and Procedural Matters Local Law. The Governance Rules were adopted on 1 September 2020.
These documents regulate:
- procedures and meeting processes for Scheduled Council Meetings, Additional Council Meetings, and Delegated Committee Meetings; and

Please note that the Governance Rules 2020 takes precedence whereby there are inconsistencies between the Procedural Matters Local Law and the Governance Rules. The Procedural Matters Local Law is currently being reviewed in light of the adoption of the Governance Rules 2020.
