The code of meeting practice ensures that all Council and committee meetings follow clear and standardised rules, promoting fairness and accountability in decision-making.

This policy enables the reasonable and appropriate reimbursement of expenses and provision of facilities to Councillors to help them undertake their civic duties.

It ensures accountability and transparency and seeks to align Councillor expenses and facilities with community expectations.

This policy is to ensure that community assets including buildings, open space and recreational assets are systematically inspected. This is required to inform asset management planning to minimise lifecycle costs and also to ensure that conditions which may lead to structure damage or safety concern are identified so remedial action may be undertaken.

This policy aims to protect the coastal environment, nesting shorebirds, flora, fauna and beach users. The policy is supported by guidelines that provide conditions of use for vehicle permits that enable access to beaches in MidCoast Council’s region.
