Consultation has concluded

All Council policies need to be reviewed within 12 months after the Local Government Election. We now have a further six policies up for review. Changes made to the polices as part of this review process are outlined below:

Competitive Neutrality Complaints Policy – No changes have been made to this policy given the current review of policies and processes being undertaken by IPART. Council has been involved in a joint submission with other councils and it is anticipated a final report will be presented to the Treasurer and Minister for Customer Service by February 2023 and the Policy will then be reviewed and amended accordingly.

Road Names Policy - The policy has been updated to more clearly reflect Council’s requirements when assessing new road name proposals. It has been expanded to:

  • include a specific focus on the inclusion of Aboriginal language and names
  • create a more equal gender balance among proposed commemorative names
  • clarify the intent and purpose of the Road Names Register
  • include specific road name proposal requirements for small and large lot subdivisions and
  • include Council’s preference for avoiding duplication of road names within the LGA.

The following Local Aboriginal Land Councils were notified of the proposed changes to the policy.

  • Ngambri LALC
  • Ulladulla LALC
  • Batemans Bay LALC
  • Mogo LALC
  • Additionally, Dr Aunty Matilda House received a copy via Paul Girrawah House.

Two responses were received. Neither indicated that we should not proceed to full community consultation.

Liquid Trade Waste Policy – Clause 5.1.2 updated to latest Guidelines.

NOTE: This Policy has prior approval from Department of Planning and Environment Water provided no substantial changes are made.

On-Site Sewage Management Policy – Standard legislative updates throughout document have been made as well as additional information around the process for dealing with failed systems.

Open Burning Policy – Policy reviewed. No changes made.

Environmental Controls on Construction Sites Policy – This Policy is a former Queanbeyan City Council Policy. It has been completely overhauled and re-written.
