The Model Code of Meeting Practice for Local Councils in NSW (the Model Meeting Code) is made under section 360 of the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 (the Regulation). Council must adopt a Code of Meeting Practice that incorporates the mandatory provisions of the Model Meeting Code, but may also include non-mandatory and other supplementary provisions of the Model Code providing that it does not contain provisions that are inconsistent with the mandatory provisions of the Model Meeting Code.
