During this period, it will be ‘business as usual’, however, to comply with our Election Period Policy and the Local Government Act 2020, there are restrictions on the kinds of decisions that can be made, and the information that we can communicate to the public. For example, we can't open community consultations. This is to ensure Council actions don't influence voting in the election.
Election Period Policy
Studies, strategies, guidelines and policies that inform the planning scheme, guide decision-making or affect the operation of the planning scheme are usually part of the planning scheme in some form. This may be achieved by incorporating documents into the planning scheme or using background documents.
