Have your say on our Code of Practice

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the draft Code of Practice - Access to Meetings and Documents.

The Code of Practice - Access to Meetings and Documents was endorsed by Council on 12 December 2023. Your feedback played a crucial role in shaping this code, and we appreciate your contribution.

A report including feedback received from the community was presented to Council on the 12 December on the Code of Practice - Access to Meetings and Documents.

During the Council meeting Council noted the community engagement results and endorsed the revised Code of Practice - Access to Meetings and Documents with minor changes delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and options to improve the accessibility and usability of the minutes and agendas page of the City of Mitcham website be explored and implemented.

The Code of Practice Access to Meetings and Documents provides guidance to members of the public wanting access to Council meetings and documents.

The Code of Practice Access to Meetings and Documents provides for transparency and accountability by Local Government in its business and everyday operation, and this is achieved by the public having, as a matter of right, access to:

• Council and committee meetings, and
• The minutes and documents as a result of these meetings.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to provide your valuable feedback.
