The Stages Of A Council Decision
- Agenda setting - issues important to the community are prioritised
- Information gathering – research, information gathering (including community consultation) and Council officer reports are collated.
- Opinion formation – Councillors assess whether they have the information they need to form an informed opinion on issues. Councillor briefings can be a key part of this process.
- Decision making – A decision requires responsible chairing, participation and debate at the Council meeting
- Implementation – Implementation should occur in a timely manner. Understandings need to be developed on acceptance of decisions and management of dissent.
