Councillor Information Session - Quairading

Are you a current councillor? Thinking about standing for council? Or just want a better understanding of what councillors are really responsible for?

Being a councillor is a powerful way to serve your community — but it also carries important legal responsibilities and expectations under the Local Government Act 1995. This one-hour overview session is designed to give you a clear, practical understanding of what’s involved so you can step into (or continue in) the role with confidence.

We’ll cover:
✅ The role of council vs the role of individual councillors
✅ Your legal responsibilities under the Local Government Act 1995
✅ Key processes – meetings, decision-making, and transparency
✅ Governance basics – what you need to know to do the job well

This session is a straightforward introduction to the essentials, with opportunities to ask questions. Whether you’re considering standing for council, new to the role, or seeking a refresher, this is a great chance to build your knowledge in a supportive environment.
