The start of council and some committee meetings have defined sections at the start of the meeting for public to speak about issues, ideas or concerns. These sections are public forums and deputations. Both are designed for brief verbal presentations by individuals or on behalf of a group or organisation.

• Public forums can be on any matter or updates on a group or organisation’s activities.
• Deputations are on matters within the meeting’s terms of reference and can relate to an item of business on a meeting agenda.

Note that as part of public section of the meeting, presentations will be recorded on the livestream. Names, organisation, topic raised, and any material provided will be included in the meeting record and minutes.
