Council Workshops
Council workshops (information or briefing sessions) are open to the public, except where the workshop is considered necessary to be closed to the public in accordance with section 90A(4) of the Local Government Act 1999.
Workshops may be used to discuss issues that involve strategy, policy or other matters of Council administration and to brief Council Members on issues relating to their decision-making function.
Council workshops are held at the Coorong Civic Centre, 95 - 101 Railway Terrace, Tailem Bend.
Details may be altered, or may not be available until closer to the workshop date owing to finalising and confirming schedules.
