Policy Review

This consultation is now closed.

Background

Council’s Policy and Procedure Framework requires that policies are reviewed annually, and that Council consider all policies during the first annual policy review of the Council term.

The Community are invited to provide feedback on policies as they are reviewed and the first batch of policies include:

• Accredited Professionals
• Appointments on Committees, CAP and External Bodies
• Children and Vulnerable Persons' Safety
• Code Of Practice For Access to Meetings and Documents
• Community Cemeteries
• Debt Collection
• Depreciation
• Internal Control
• Memorials on Council Land
• Register of Interests.

What’s Being Proposed?

Accredited Professionals

A minor update has been made to acknowledge a change in State Government Department naming in the Definitions Section.

Debt Collection Policy

The Policy has undergone a number a minor amendments designed to improve existing practices. In particular, there has been a modification to issuing of invoices to stallholders ahead of an event, and amending debt management terms to enable overdue notices to be ‘sent’ rather than posted (enabling electronic distribution where appropriate).

Depreciation Policy

The objective of this Policy is to set out the methodology used by Council in determining and calculating depreciation for the purposes of meeting its financial reporting requirements. The Policy review includes some proposed wording improvements as well as updated Useful Lives by Asset Class.

Memorials on Council Land Policy

This Policy has been amended to remove reference to providing memorial applicants with a copy of guidelines, as guidelines have not been developed at this point.

Council has made no changes to the following policies:

• Appointments on Committees, CAP and External Bodies
• Children and Vulnerable Persons Safety
• Code of Practice for Access to Meetings and Documents
• Community Cemeteries
• Internal Control
• Register of Interests.
