Deputations

Due to venue capacity restrictions under COVID-19 NSW Public Health Orders, members of the public are not currently permitted to attend Council meetings. During this time Meeting Deputations will be in the form of a video (submitted by the deputee) or audio file or a written submission.

During these restrictions and in order to facilitate advance viewing of submissions by Councillors with sufficient time to ask questions and consider content and the airing of Deputations publicly, Council’s Deputation provisions outlined in the Code of Meeting Practice have been suspended and the following process will be in place - see below.

Submit a Deputation

Step 1.Write or record your submission

Your submission can be either:

  • A Video or Audio File containing a deputation which lasts no longer than three (3) minutes
  • A Written submission no longer than four (4) A4 pages in length

When making a submission:

  • You must refrain from making personal comments or criticisms or revealing any private, sensitive or privileged information
  • You may not make insulting or defamatory statements
  • You may not make personal allegations against Councillors and/or staff or be disrespectful. When such statements are made the deputation will not be posted online or made available to Councillors
  • Submissions must be relevant to the issue on the meeting agenda

There will be no limitation applied to the number of deputations for each item.

Step 2.Email your submission to allgovernance@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au before 3pm on the day prior to the meeting

The email providing the submission must clearly state:

  • Who is making the submission (and whom they represent)
  • To which Item on the Agenda of the meeting their submission refers
  • A contact number which will be provided to Councillors should a Councillor wish to seek clarification about something in the submission

Submissions received by Council prior to the deadline will be made publicly available via YouTube and/or Shoalhaven City Council's Website. Late submissions will not be made publicly available and may not be viewed by Councillors prior to the meeting.

Step 3.Note:

  • Submissions not fitting the above requirements may be determined by the Chairperson to not be a valid deputation.
  • Speakers do not have absolute privilege. Any person submitting a deputation who makes any offensive or defamatory remarks about another person may be personally liable for their actions.
