Council Registers

The following registers are public registers related to elected members and staff.

Delegations

Delegations help us make our daily decisions in a timely and consistent manner. Under the Local Government Act 1995, the Council can delegate authority and powers to the CEO. The CEO can then delegate power or duties to employees where applicable.

The Council reviews the delegations register annually – this register shows who has been granted delegated authority or authorisation for certain activities.
