Decision making

Council decisions are made through a combination of strategic direction-setting by Councillors and operational decision-making by Council officers under delegated authority.

Councillors make key policy and strategic decisions at formal Council Meetings, which focus on long-term planning, major projects, community priorities, and governance matters.

Day-to-day operational decisions, assessments, and approvals are made by Council officers under delegated authority, ensuring timely and efficient service delivery while still operating within the framework set by legislative frameworks.
