Policies
Policies are resolutions of Council to guide the management of an issue. Many Council Policies are enforceable as law under the Local Government Act or other legislation. Others simply state the overarching intent of Council on an issue - they constitute a direction to the General Manager.
Council Policies were adopted by resolution of Council on 27 July 2009, and at subsequent Council meetings. A list of Council's Policies are provided below.
Council's Policies can be viewed by clicking on the Policy Search button or by attending the Customer Service Counter, Civic Centre, Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga.
You may wish to revisit this site, as these policies may be changed or added to by Council resolution, with suitable opportunity for public comment.
Comments or suggestions can be made in writing to The General Manager, Wagga Wagga City Council, PO Box 20, Wagga Wagga 2650 or by email council@wagga.nsw.gov.au
