Council meetings

The NSW Parliament has passed the COVID-19 Legislation Amendment (Emergency Measures) Bill 2020, comprising a broad range of amendments to existing laws to help combat the spread of the virus. The Bill amends the Local Government Act 1993 to now allow councils to hold official meetings remotely using audio visual links, instead of requiring councillors to be physically present at the meeting.

Cowra Shire Council holds two meetings per month that are open to the public.

General Committee Meetings are held at 5.00pm on the 2nd Monday of each month (subject to change due to Public Holidays). The General Committee is responsible for researching and making recommendations to Council and does so in consultation with senior management and the community. 

Council Meetings are held at 5.00pm on the 4th Monday of each month in the Council Chambers (subject to change due to Public Holidays).
