Draft Policy - Local Government elections caretaker period policy

In the lead up to Local Government elections, Councils have restrictions placed on them. The aim of the Policy is to ensure the Council, community and staff are aware of what Council can and cannot do during the caretaker period prior to a Council election.

The draft Policy reflects the previous practices of Council, although now formalised in a Policy
