Video of council meetings now online

Published on Wednesday, 5 February 2025 at 12:44:15 PM

As of January 2025 the Shire of Ravensthorpe is required to provide audio online of all council meetings. Members of the public who attend meetings and ask questions will be included in the recording.

This requirement under Section 58 of the Local Government Amendment Act 2023 (the Amendment Act) inserts a new section 5.23A into the Local Government Act 1995 and is aimed at increasing transparency and accountability. It came into effect for class 3 local governments in January 2025.

The recordings must be published online within 14 days of the meeting taking place.

Only open proceedings of a meeting are required to be published.

Annual Electors Meeting 

The Annual Electors Meeting held in Ravensthorpe on Tuesday 4 February 2025 is the first video to be uploaded under this new requirement.

You can view the video of that meeting here.
