Special Committees
* Special Committees of Council may not meet during the COVID-19 Stage 3 restrictions imposed by the Victorian Government.
Special Committees are those which are established by Council under section 86 of the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) that exercises a power, or performs a duty or function, of the Council that has been delegated to that Committee under any Act.
A Special Committee’s decision-making powers are limited to those matters covered in the Instrument of Delegation to the Committee. When Council delegates to a Special Committee it allows the Committee to exercise the power to make certain decisions ‘as if it were Council’. Due to this the Act subject members of Special Committee to the same statutory obligations as Council.
