At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on Wednesday 26 March 2025 the Council endorsed the draft Councillor and Staff Interaction Policy for placing on public exhibition for a period of 28 days from Thursday 27 March to Sunday 27 April 2025.
RESOLVED
That Council:
a. Endorse the Councillor and Staff Interaction Policy for public exhibition for a period not less than 28 days, noting no substantial amendments have been recommended to the current policy.
This updated Councillor and Staff Interaction Policy intends to govern a respectful, transparent and constructive relationship between Councillors and Council Staff, by articulating their different but complementary roles, defining reasonable expectations, and establishing clear and effective communication protocols that facilitate good governance and Council’s optimum performance.
Continuous review and enhancements of policies gently shapes Council into the kind of place that is not only compliant but that is close to its roots, the community, and the people it serves.
It is timely that the Councillor and Staff Interaction Policy be reviewed and adopted by the new Council to ensure clarity and understanding of the policy.

The General Manager Armidale Regional Council PO Box 75A Armidale, NSW 2350
