Public Question Time
At each Council meeting, 15 minutes is made available for public question time.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, amendments to the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 were passed by Parliament on 25 March 2020 and came into effect on 26 March 2020. The amendments mean local governments can hold electronic Council and Committee meetings during a public health emergency, and the public can be requested to submit their questions and statements prior to the meeting.
Public question time will still occur during these. Questions must be provided on the online form prior to the commencement of the meeting.
Alternatively, print and scan your completed public question time form to council@dandaragan.wa.gov.au.
