Council has a single point of contact for Special Committees of Council referred to as a Council contact officer. This is to ensure that committees receive consistent advice from Council and that Council has a single and complete view of all requests from each committee.
The role and responsibility of the Council contact officer is to:
• Be the first point of contact for committees;
• Advise Special Committees of Council on all matters relating to the Instrument of Delegation;
• Respond to queries and requests from committees;
• Forward requests and queries that cannot be answered at the first contact, to the appropriate Council officer for action; and
• Record all interactions and correspondence with the committees.
