Supplementary Items can be included in a Council Meeting agenda up to 72 hours before a meeting.
Immediately preceding Council Meetings, the Agenda Briefing Sessions are held. Commencing at 5pm, Agenda Briefing Sessions are open to the public, and provide the opportunity to see what questions Councillors have on a current agenda item prior to its formal consideration at the Council Meeting.
