Special Committees
Nillumbik Shire Council conducts its business in open and advertised meetings. In addition to Ordinary and Special Council Meetings, Nillumbik has a special committee established under section 86 of the Local Government Act 1989 – the Future Nillumbik Committee.
All seven Councillors sit on the Committee. The Committee agenda is structured on the portfolios assigned to individual Councillors. The Chair of the Committee will rotate with each Councillor to chair the section of the meeting for those items which relate to their portfolio. Want to find out more?
