  • If it is not possible to answer the question at the meeting, the General Manager will provide a written answer within 10 days
  • All questions must be in writing and the question and answer cannot be debated
  • The Mayor may refuse to accept a question
  • Parliamentary Privilege does not apply at Council Meetings
  • Council Meetings are recorded

Tasmanian Public Health advise that masks, along with other COVID-safe behaviours, remain an important way to help reduce the risk of COVID-19. Although not mandatory in most situations, mask wearing is still recommended in indoor settings especially where physical distancing is not possible.
