Public Question Time
Public Question Time is a means by which the public can seek responses from their council about issues affecting the local government that are of concern to them. It assists the public to be better informed about the governing of their district and it provides the local government with a mechanism to identify issues of importance in their community.
Under section 5.24 of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act) and the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 (the Regulations) time must be made available at every council meeting (whether ordinary or special) and every meeting of a committee with delegated powers or duties, for members of the public to ask questions and have them responded to.
Guidelines have been prepared in consultation with local governments on Managing Public Question Time and will be further refined as the need arises.
The Shire of Derby/West Kimberley has formally adopted Public Question Time guidelines.
