Council Policy Review Process & availability
Policy Review Process
Council’s Management Executive Team endorsed a
Policy Framework for Council in October 2006. The
framework provides guidance for writing and
reviewing policy documents. This framework was
reviewed in October 2007, with the principal
amendment being the enhancement of the
Administration Policy requirements. Administration
Policies are internal documents that, unlike Council
Policies, do not require endorsement by Council.
In accordance with Council’s Policy Framework,
Council conducts a full policy review annually, and
policies are reviewed in accordance with the
framework and against the following criteria:
• The need for, and role of each policy in
terms of the City and Corporate Plan
strategies and Council’s strategic management
planning framework;
• The policy content and its ongoing relevance;
• The need to update the policy to correspond
with resolutions of Council or decisions of the
Management Executive Team;
• Legislation changes that should result in policy
amendment and legislative criteria which must
be considered during a policy review; and
• Whether there have been customer complaints
in relation to the policy content and whether
these concerns should be considered when
reviewing the policy.
Directorates review relevant policies and
amendments are confirmed by the Management
Executive Team prior to being forwarded to Council
for endorsement.
Annual Policy Review 2011/2012

between December 2011 and May 2012 using
the above process.
