About Council Meetings

Council Meetings

Council changed its meeting structure in February 2006. The full Council now meets on the first Tuesday night each month, and the Traffic Committee meets every two months.

The Council meeting is dedicated to a broad range of matters such as policy, finance, business, marketing, recreation, environment, community and cultural development.

Council and Traffic Committee meetings are held in the Council Chambers. Council Meeting begins at 7pm and open question time commences at 6.40pm. The Traffic Committee meets at 10am.

If residents wish to address the Council on items, they need to register by either contacting the Team Leader Administration or registering with a Council officer prior to the commencement of the Council meeting.

Open Question Time for Mosman residents and ratepayers

Open Question Time will be held for a period of 15 minutes commencing at 6.40pm prior to the commencement of a Council meeting scheduled to commence at 7.00pm. Open Question Time is available to Mosman residents and ratepayers. Questions may be in writing. Residents or ratepayers wishing to ask a question will be invited by the Mayor to read out the question. Questions may be on any relevant matter unless it is on the Agenda for this meeting.
