Why do we need to review the Code?

    Council has a legislative responsibility to review its Code of Practice every four years. The review enables the Council to understand if the Code is easily understood and supports access to and participation by the community in meetings.

    What is a Public Notice and Agenda?

    A Public Notice for Council and Committee meetings is a Notice of Meeting which informs what type, where and when a meeting will be held.

    An Agenda is a list that identifies the items of business for a meeting.

    At the same time public notice of a meeting is given, Council publishes an Agenda accompanied by reports for the items of business listed as a consolidated document.

    Where do Council and Committee meet and can anyone attend?

    Meetings of Council and Committee are held in the Adelaide Town Hall, King William Street, Adelaide and anyone can attend and view a meeting from seating provided for the public in a public gallery.
