Policies

Policies are guidelines to which Elected Members and Staff refer when making decisions on certain issues.

The Berri Barmera Council has developed a set of Policies which are continually updated to reflect changes in circumstances or if a new issue arises.

Some Policies are mandatory and are required under legislation to reflect this Council's application of various Acts of Parliament. These compulsory Policies are:

• Access to Meetings - Code of Practice (Public Consultation)
• Code of Conduct - Elected & Committee Members (Public Consultation)
• Code of Conduct for Employees
• Confidentiality Provisions - Code of Practice
• Procurement (Contracting and Tendering)
• Order Making Policy  (Public Consultation)
• Public Consultation  (Public Consultation)
• Review of Council Decisions (Including Handling Complaints)

The variations to the policies are temporary and will cease to apply 28 days after all relevant State major emergency declarations end.
