2025 Strategy Workshops and Briefings
From 4 October 2023, Councillor Strategy Workshops and Briefing Sessions are included in the Scenic Rim Regional Council meeting suite.
Please note in respect to both the Strategy Workshops and Briefing Sessions:
- No decision-making or voting takes place at these meetings.
- As these are not formal meetings of Council, there is no public gallery for these meetings and it will not be live streamed.
- While no quorum is required, all Councillors are required to attend Briefing Sessions and Workshops.
- Following these forums, Council will publish on its website, subject to confidentiality, a list of topics which were discussed. This does not include publishing of the outcomes or reports.
Workshops
Workshops are a process for Councillors, employees and external parties to collaborate, develop or advance proposals, and include topics of strategic importance to collectively develop proposals prior to formal decision-making. Examples include discussions to determine strategic priorities, the development of the budget, initial input into the development or review of Council policies, initial development of a new Planning Scheme etc.
While workshops are not formal decision-making forums they may be used as the basis for officers to develop a firmer proposal which may be considered formally by Council in the future. No decision-making or voting takes place at these meetings.
Briefing Sessions
Briefing sessions provide a valuable opportunity to enhance the decision-making process and are a forum for the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Officers to address any Councillor questions and provide additional background on matters coming before Council for decision. No decision-making or voting takes place at these meetings.
Briefing sessions provide a forum for:
- Councillors to be fully informed on complex matters that will allow for more effective discussion and debate during subsequent formal meetings;
- Councillors to share their views with each other; and for Councillors to seek further information, clarification and background details from Council officers or any guest presenters;
- Officers to advise Councillors of their professional opinions and reasoning behind their intended recommendations; or
- Presentations by an external party.
