Governance Rules

The Boroondara City Council Governance Rules outline the rules that Councillors and others must follow while they are serving the community.

This includes:

• how decisions are made
• meeting procedures for Council meetings
• meeting procedures for Delegated Committees
• meeting procedures for Community Asset Committees
• how to share any conflicts of interest
• how to manage informal Councillor meetings
• how to manage confidential information.

The Boroondara City Council Governance Rules also include our Election Period Policy. This policy provides a framework for decisions that Council can't make during the election period in line with the Local Government Act 2020.
