Development Services commitment to good governance
Council is working to provide the best development services in Queensland.
Council’s commitment to good governance and robust statutory decision-making practice is reflected in Council’s Strategic Policy for Councillor and Council employee participation in development assessment matters and the Organisational Guideline on roles and responsibilities of a Councillor and a Council employee participating on development assessment matters.
The clear separation of duties, roles and responsibilities ensures open, transparent, efficient, effective and objective decision-making in accordance with statutory requirements. This Policy and Guideline provides for appropriate interactions and engagement by Councillors and Council employees as part of the development assessment process, including the pre-lodgement, application assessment, decision and appeal stages of a development application.
