Standing Committees
The following Standing Committees were established at Council's post election meeting on 8 April, 2016. The Standing Committees enable complex or strategic issues to be discussed at length without the time constraints normally imposed at an Ordinary Meeting of Council. They allow our Councillors to specialise in particular functions of Council and can utilise the particular knowledge and skills they may bring to Council.
Committees conduct much of the investigative and detailed work leading towards a recommendation to Council to enable an informed decision to be made.
All meetings will be held in the Council Chambers, 103 Walker St, Townsville and are open to the public. Please note that the public will be excluded from meetings during deliberation of confidential items in the "Closed" section of the Agenda.

The terms of reference also identifies the duties and responsibilities of members and the chair, the term of membership, requirements for a quorum, reporting requirements of the committee and matters concerning conflicts of interest.
