DRAFT(PDF, 587KB) | MODEL CODE OF MEETING PRACTICE POLICY (15.2.5)
Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 16 October 2025, resolved to place the Draft Model Code of Meeting Practice Policy 15.2.5 on Public Exhibition.
Council’s current Code of Meeting Practice (15.2.4) was adopted by Council on 19 December 2024. On 29 August 2025, the Office of Local Government (OLG) released a new Model Meeting Code. The OLG undertook extensive consultation, prior to finalising the new Model Meeting Code.
Council must adopt a code of meeting practice that incorporates the mandatory provisions of the 2025 Model Meeting Code no later than 31 December 2025. Transitional provisions in the Regulation provide that if Council does not adopt a code of meeting practice that incorporates the mandatory provisions of the 2025 Model Meeting Code by 31 December 2025, from 1 January 2026, any provision of the council’s code of meeting practice that is inconsistent with a mandatory provision of the 2025 Model Meeting Code will be automatically overridden by the relevant mandatory provision of the 2025 Model Meeting Code.
The draft Model Code of Meeting Practice Policy incorporates all the mandatory provisions along with those non-mandatory provision which are deemed relevant to Weddin Shire Council circumstances. The draft Code of Meeting Policy also incorporates supplementary provisions ‘Weddin Shire Council protocols’, which are in green text within the draft policy. These provide guidance on local protocols relevant to Weddin Shire Council.
The mandatory provisions of the 2025 Model Meeting Code will prohibit pre-meeting briefings. Councils must also livestream meetings of the council and committees comprising wholly of councillors from 1 January 2026 using an audio-visual recording. Recordings of meetings must be published on the council’s website for the balance of the council term or for 12 months, whichever is the later date.
Under section 361 of the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act), before adopting a new code of meeting practice, Council must first exhibit a draft of the code of meeting practice for at least 28 days and provide members of the community at least 42 days in which to comment on the draft code.
Council welcomes submissions to mail@weddin.nsw.gov.au by 5:00pm Monday 1 December 2025.
