What is it about?

The protocol outlines how Council briefings will be made publicly available online to support transparency and good governance.

It also explains when certain workshops will remain closed to the public, particularly for discussions involving confidential or sensitive information.

Why is this important?

• It ensures the community can access information about decisions affecting them.
• It protects sensitive matters that need to be discussed in confidence.

What’s in the Protocol?

The protocol provides clear rules on when information is public or confidential for:

• Briefings: Public online access to discussions on issues of significant interest.
• Workshops: Internal forums for preliminary discussions and confidential matters.

We need your input! Your feedback will help refine the protocol before it’s finalised.
