Questions from the Public Form (PDF, 178Kb)
Clause 10.9 of the Code of Meeting Practice states:
10.9 Questions from the Public
10.9.1 Questions from the Public will be held at Ordinary Meetings of Council at 5.30pm, or immediately prior to the close of the meeting (whichever comes first).
10.9.2 Questions from the Public are to be written on the prescribed form and submitted to the General Manager’s office by 3:30pm on the Monday immediately before the next applicable meeting.
10.9.3 The maximum number of questions permitted by each person is three (3) per meeting.
10.9.4 Questions will be read aloud by the General Manager or his/her delegate. If an answer is available at the meeting, it will be presented. Otherwise, the question is to be answered as soon as possible in a personal communication to the person asking the question.
10.9.5 Questions that are considered to be in breach of the provisions of cl. 4.2.1 of this Code, or which by being read may breach Council’s adopted Code of Conduct, will not be accepted or read.
cl 4.2.1 (d) states an act of disorder includes an action by a councillor, or by implication the content of a Question from the Public which:
“(d) insults or makes personal reflections on or imputes improper motives to any other Councillor”
Therefore replies will not be provided to any questions which are considered to be in breach of cl 4.2.1(d).
Further, cl 10.9.4 of the Code of Meeting Practice states:
“Questions will be read aloud by the General Manager or his/her delegate. If an answer is available at the meeting, it will be presented. Otherwise, the question is to be answered as soon as possible in a personal communication to the person asking the question.”
