Council Meeting: 28 March 2023

Linton Council Chambers

PLEASE NOTE - Council's live stream experienced connectivity issues for the Linton Meeting on 28 March. A full recording of the meeting is now available to view.

Council will hold its scheduled March Council Meeting on Tuesday 28 March, 2023 at 7pm. The meeting will be held in-person at the Linton Hall and will be open to the public.

The meeting will also be livestreamed and accessible to the public on this page and on Council's YouTube channel. Public presentations, questions, and submissions are able to be made in-person. 

Attend Meeting

All council meetings are open to the public to either attend in person or view via livestream, with the exception of when the Council decides to close the meeting to the public (in-camera meetings) in certain circumstances. Attending council meetings can be a good way to understand how Council makes decisions.

While council meetings are an opportunity to observe the Council at work, they are not the place for members of the public to informally address councillors.

Public Question Time

Council welcomes members of the public to ask questions on any Council related matters. If you have a question to ask at a Meeting of Council, it must be written and received by 10am of the day of the meeting.

The person who submitted the question, or their representative, must be present at the meeting or available on Zoom to ask their question. 

Options for submitting a question include:

  • Complete an online form;
  • Submit a form by email to [email protected]; or 
  • Deliver a form to the Council Offices

Any member of the public addressing the Council must extend due courtesy and respect to the Council and the processes under which it operates and must take direction from the Chairperson whenever called upon to do so. For more information on participating in Public Question Time, please view the following documents:

Governance Rules - Adopted 23 August 2022

There is always the opportunity to informally speak with Councillors either before or after a Council Meeting.

Make a Submission or Presentation

Any person may lodge a written submission as a submitter, objector or applicant, and may also request to speak at the relevant Meeting of Council in regards to:

  • A planning matter (for example, a planning permit application) where the person is the applicant or has previously made an objection in accordance with The Planning and Environment Act 1987
  • A matter where Council called for submissions under sections 55 to 56 of the Local Government Act 2020 (e.g. the council budget) and the presenter has previously made a formal submission
  • A matter where Council called for submissions under other legislation
  • A matter where Council called for submissions under a Council Policy

No time will be allocated to presentations on any other agenda items. Any member of the public addressing the Council must extend due courtesy and respect to the Council and the processes under which it operates and must take direction from the Chairperson whenever called upon to do so.

COVID-19 Update: 

Due to COVID-19 and related changes to Council meetings, public presentation and submissions can be presented virtually at meetings. The maximum time limit of five minutes still applies.
