At the Ordinary Council Meeting 22 July 2025, Council resolved to place on exhibition the Code of Meeting Practice. The policy is available on the right.

About the policy

The Strathfield Code of Meeting Practice (the ‘Code’) is made under section 360 of the Local Government Act 1993 (the ‘Act’) and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 (the ‘Regulation’).

This Code applies to all meetings of Council and Committees of Council of which all the members are Councillors (committees of Council).

Council must adopt a code of meeting practice that incorporates the mandatory provisions of the Model Code of Meeting Practice (the ‘Model Meeting Code’) from the Office of Local Government.

A Council’s adopted code of meeting practice may also incorporate the non-mandatory provisions of the Model Meeting Code and other supplementary provisions as adopted. Any Code of Meeting Practice adopted by a Council must not contain provisions that are inconsistent with the mandatory provisions of the Model Meeting Code.
