A Corporate Policy is a statement of mandatory guiding principles that inform decision-making and the effective governance of our local government area (LGA). A policy states what Council is going to do, not how it will do it.
Corporate policies can be defined as those which:
Council’s Corporate Policies (public) are either required by legislation or impact on the Community in some way. Corporate Policies are adopted by Council.
Council’s Administrative Protocol’s (internal) relate specifically to the operational management, administrative or staff matters of Council, which are the function of the Chief Executive Officer. Administrative Protocols are endorsed by Council’s Senior Leadership Team. Council proactively publishes some of our Protocol’s where appropriate to do so on our website for enhanced public transparency.
Our adopted Policies and Protocols are subject to a review process and a set review schedule. Amendments beyond minor administrative changes require the Policy or Protocol to be re-adopted or re-endorsed respectively.
To adopt a new/amended policy or revoke an existing policy a report to Council is required. In line with legislation and Council’s Community Engagement Strategy, policies are typically placed on public exhibition for 28 days to give the community an opportunity to provide feedback. If submissions are received during the public exhibition period, they will be presented to Council with staff recommendations before the final policy is adopted.
Policies on public exhibition will be available for review from the Your Say Wollondilly page on the Council website
