Meetings all online this year

COUNCILS are permitted to hold official meetings online up until December this year. Local Government Minister Shelley Hancock says virtual meetings will help councils continue to make important decisions on behalf of the community while complying with Public Health Orders and minimising the spread of Covid-19. “With residents of Greater Sydney unable to attend a chamber in person because of current stay-at-home orders, councils meeting electronically can still provide public access by live-streaming them so locals can tune in.”
