Meeting agendas and minutes
Council meets twice a month on Tuesdays at 5.30pm in Maitland Town Hall.
Council meetings have been impacted by public health orders relating to social distancing and indoor gatherings. In response to those orders and in accordance with amendments to the NSW Local Government Act, 1993:
- Council meetings have relocated to the Maitland Town Hall auditorium
- Public attendance at Council meetings is now permitted
- A limit of 25 members of the public can attend and booking is essential to secure a seat
- Bookings open for each meeting with the release of the agenda on the Friday immediately prior to the meeting and close at 12 noon on the day of the Council meeting, if not fully reserved beforehand
- Bookings can be made here or you can call Council’s Customer Service Centre on 02 4934 9700
- Live streaming of Council meetings will continue as usual for those not present
- For those who wish to speak at a Council meeting regarding an item on the agenda, you must lodge a Public Access Speaker Request Form.
- Requests for public access will be determined by the General Manager based on merit and an appropriate means by which any submission may be provided
All Council decisions are made at Council Meetings or through them, which are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month from 5:30pm. Council decisions are made by a majority of the councillors present at the meeting voting in favour, provided there is a minimum number of councillors present. If there is a tied vote the Mayor, who chairs Council Meetings, has a second casting vote.
All Councillors present at a Council Meeting may vote on every motion, unless they have a conflict of interest.
On the Friday before Council meetings an agenda is made available. This lists all the items the Council intends to consider at the meeting. It usually also contains Council officers reports and recommendations on these matters. Councillors use these reports as a source of information and advice to assist their decision making.
Live streaming encourages openness and transparency by giving the community access to what is discussed and decided at council meetings in real time, without needing to attend in person. The live stream for upcoming meetings and copies from past meetings can be accessed from the links below. Please note:
- Confidential sessions will not be broadcast.
- Maitland City Council does not accept liability for any defamatory or offensive language or behaviour from individuals during the course of meetings.
- Recordings are copyright protected and cannot be reused or reproduced without written approval from Council’s General Manager.
- The footage is not, and shall not, be taken to be an official record of Maitland City Council decisions. Please refer to the meeting minutes.
