Mildura Rural City Council is committed to working with the community to improve public confidence in the decisions it makes, and to ensure decisions reflect the best interest of all sectors of our community.
To continue enhancing transparency in Council’s decision-making processes, Governance Rules are regularly reviewed to see where improvements can be made.
Council’s Governance rules have been developed to:
- enable Council to consider and make decisions on any matter being considered fairly and on its merits; and
- institute decision-making processes to ensure anyone whose rights will be directly affected by a decision of the Council is entitled to communicate their views and have their interests considered.
The proposed updates in this iteration of Council’s Governance Rules:
- provide the community with clearer process in relation to asking public questions at Open Council meetings;
- correct formatting and typographical errors;
- update position titles to align with Organisational Structure Review;
- expand the titles in sub rule 32 and 33; and
- provide a clearer process for submitting Petitions.
The community is invited to view and provide feedback on Council’s updated Governance Rules by making a public submission.
The updated Governance Rules can be downloaded from the link on this page.
Feedback can be provided until 5pm Tuesday 6 February 2024.
