Involving the community in Council Meetings.

Submissions to Council

Submissions to an Ordinary Council Meeting can be made on matters that are not listed on the Agenda for the meeting. They can’t be about matters that have already been considered by Council or operational issues.

The following groups have already requested to be included on the Agenda to make a submission to Council on 24 October:

·         Dandenong Ranges Music Council

·         Upwey-Tecoma Lawn Bowls Club

·         The Hills Food Frontier

How can somebody submit a question to Council?

Questions can be submitted to the Council, which are read out and responded to at the next appropriate Ordinary Council Meeting.

Members of the public can submit a question:

·         by completing the form on the Council’s website; or

·         by email

Questions must be received no later than 5.00pm on the day before the Council meeting.

Questions relating to items on the agenda, or which are the same as previous questions, will not be considered.

A question will not be accepted if, in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer, it appears to be derogatory, defamatory or embarrassing to any Councillor, member of staff, ratepayer or member of the public.

A limit of one question per person per meeting will apply. Multiple parts to a question will be treated as multiple questions.
