in a meeting of Council and comply with Council’s legal obligations and relevant
community standards.

Why are policies and
procedures important?
Bega Valley Shire Council has many responsibilities and
performs many tasks to maintain and improve the Shire and make it a great place
to live, work and play.
Policies and procedures are essential to ensure that legal,
fair and consistent decisions are made across the Council. They support Council
in achieving its corporate objectives and provide crucial guidelines for
Councillors, staff and other stakeholders. Without sound policies and procedures
there is a greater risk of inconsistency, confusion and inefficiency.
Each of our policy statements
include the policy objectives and what Council has resolved on to
achieve these objectives. Each policy statement lists the procedural
documents that support the policy.
