The draft Code is based on the Model Code of Meeting Practice made by the Office of Local Government and prescribed by the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005. The draft Code for Mosman Council incorporates the mandatory provisions and selected non-mandatory provisions of the Model Code together with supplementary provisions specific to Mosman Council. The draft Code provided on this page shows the mandatory (black font), accepted non-mandatory (red font) and supplementary (blue font) provisions for reference. Provisions struck-out throughout the document are either non-applicable mandatory provisions or non-mandatory provisions not recommended for inclusion for the reasons set out in the report on the submission made in response to the consultation draft in February 2018 (which is also provided on this page in the document library).

Council is required to exhibit the draft Code prior to adoption. Following exhibition the matter will be reported back to Council at its meeting on 6 August 2019 for adoption.
