Local Government Act (1993) and other Acts of the NSW Parliament require Council to make certain documents freely available to residents upon request.

While Council makes every effort to ensure that these documents are the latest versions available, it is the responsibility of the reader to verify the accuracy of these documents with Council.

Note: Where a specific policy document does not exist, Council's policy is to operate in accordance with the relevant legislation and regulations.
