Council Meetings

Transparent, Accountable Governance for the Groote Archipelago

The Groote Archipelago Regional Council is committed to open and transparent local government. Regular meetings are held to discuss key issues, make decisions, and ensure that council operations reflect the needs and aspirations of the community. Meeting agendas and minutes are made publicly available in accordance with legislative requirements.

Ordinary Council meetings

Ordinary Council Meetings are held every two months and are open to the public. These meetings provide a formal platform for discussing council business, reviewing progress, and making strategic decisions.

Local government legislation requires that council has Finance Committee meetings on the months that it does not hold an Ordinary Council Meeting.
