Elected Members Meeting Attendance Register

Unless otherwise engaged in other Council-related business or on a leave of absence, each elected member is expected to attend scheduled Council meetings and workshops to exercise their duties and responsibilities. Apologies may be tendered when a member is otherwise unable to attend a meeting. The meeting may accept or decline apologies.

To promote transparency and accountability, Council publishes this meeting attendance register, which records the number of meetings and open workshops each Council member attended or missed over the past year.

Excluded from the register are attendance in closed workshops and various committee meetings.

This attendance register will also provide information relating to requests for such information under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.
