Shire of Ashburton 8 May 2020

The recent amendments to the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 that came into effect on 26 March 2020 allows local governments to hold electronic Council and Committee meetings during a public health emergency.

With this in mind, Council would like to advise community members that our May Ordinary Meeting of Council will continue to take place on Tuesday 12 May 2020 as planned, however members of the public will no longer be able to attend in person due to social distancing and mass meetings guidelines. The meeting will be held at Council Chambers, Onslow Shire Complex, Onslow at 1.00 pm.

Council wishes to advise the community that due to COVID-19 and the uncertainty over the coming months, Council will continue to conduct the future Ordinary Meetings of Council / Special meetings of Council under these guidelines until further notice.

Members of the public are asked to submit their public questions and/or statements via the form on our website prior to the meeting or alternatively contact Michelle Lewis, Council Liaison Officer on 08 9188 4473 or email [email protected].

A maximum of three questions are permitted and all questions and statements will be read out and acknowledged by the Shire President. Please ensure questions are submitted prior to 1.00 pm on the day of the meeting.  Alternatively, if you wish to phone into our meeting during public question time, please call 0439 946 238 between 1.00 pm and 1.15 pm on 12 May 2020.
