Description
The Procurement Policy outlines how Council plans, sources and manages the purchase of goods, works and services in a way that is fair, transparent and delivers value for the community. It establishes a consistent, risk-based framework aligned with legislative requirements and Council systems, while supporting ethical decision-making and positive social, environmental and economic outcomes. The updated policy was endorsed by Council on 17 March 2026.
The Procurement Policy has been reviewed and updated to:
- Strengthen end to end procurement governance
- Clarify roles, responsibilities and approved pathways
- Address internal audit findings and control gaps
- Align with Council’s Procure to Pay systems and delegations
- Support sustainability, social and local economic outcomes.
