To ensure local government decision making can continue during the coronavirus pandemic the Victorian Government introduced changes to the Local Government Act 2020 to allow for council meetings to be held virtually if and when required.
Council Meetings can be viewed on Council’s Facebook page
There are two types of Council Meetings. Council Meetings and Unscheduled Council Meetings.
Council Meetings
Southern Grampians Shire Council meets on the second Wednesday of each month, excluding January when it does not have an Ordinary Meeting.
The Meetings commence at 5.30pm and are held in the Council Chambers, 5 Market Place, Hamilton, unless otherwise advertised.
For Council Meeting dates please see Meeting Dates
Unscheduled Meetings
Sometimes Meetings need to be held outside the adopted schedule to allow Council to make decisions which are urgent or time sensitive. If an unscheduled meeting is required, the date and time of that Meeting, including the topics for discussion, is advertised so that the community has the opportunity to attend.
