Draft Meetings Procedure and Common Seal Local Law 2018

Draft Meetings Procedure and Common Seal Local Law 2018 

Notice is given that the Buloke Shire Council proposes to make a new local law titled the Meetings Procedure and Common Seal Local Law 2018.

The proposed Local Law is to replace the existing Meeting Procedures and Common Seal Law No. 15 (2015).

The purpose and general purport of the proposed Local Law is to:

1) Provide a mechanism to facilitate good government of the Council through its formal meeting procedure to ensure effective and efficient Council decisions are made in a manner which acknowledges the role of local government within the Australian system of government;

2) Promote and encourage community participation in the system of local government by providing mechanisms for the Council to ascertain the community’s views and expectations;

3) Regulate and control the election of Mayor, any Deputy Mayor and the chairperson of any Special Committees;

4) Regulate and control the procedures governing the conduct of meetings including:

a) The notice required for meetings;

b) The keeping of minutes;

5) Regulate the use of the Common Seal and prohibit its unauthorised use;

6) Provide for the administration of the Council’s powers and functions;

7) Provide generally for the peace, order and good government of the municipal district; and

8) Repeal Local Law No. 15 of 14 October 2015 (Meetings Procedures and Common Seal Local Law No. 15)

A copy of the draft Local Law, including documents incorporated by reference, and the Community Impact Statement, can be inspected on Council’s website, www.buloke.vic.gov.au, or obtained from the Wycheproof District Council Office.
