2023 COUNCIL MEETINGS

Council meetings are held in the City of Vincent Administration and Civic Centre, starting at 6pm.

Participate in Council meetings

We encourage members of the public to participate in Council meetings in the following ways:

In person

You are welcome to attend the Council meeting in person. Meetings start at 6pm and the Presiding Member will call for speakers shortly after.  Please state your full name, suburb and the agenda item you are speaking to.  Items raised during public question and statement time will be brought forward and discussed first.

Via email

Written questions and statements can be emailed to governance@vincent.wa.gov.au before 3pm on the day of the meeting.

Please note that questions asked at a Special Council Meeting must relate to the purpose for which the meeting has been called. Questions asked at a Briefing must relate to an item on the agenda.

The questions and statements will not be read at the meeting, but they will be circulated to Elected Members. Answers to questions asked at Council Briefing will (where possible) be provided in the Briefing Notes or otherwise in the agenda for the following month.  Answers to questions asked at the Ordinary Council Meeting will be included in the agenda for the following month.  Please provide a postal or email address so that a written response can be provided by the City.

Deputations must be requested by emailing governance@vincent.wa.gov.au at least 24 hours before the meeting. Requests should include the length of time being sought and some justification for additional time (please note that deputations are not usually heard at Briefings ).  The Presiding Member will approve the deputation, and advise of the amount of time allocated.
