15 minutes is allocated near the beginning of each ordinary Council meeting for members of the public to ask questions of Council.

Questions can be asked for public question time by presenting them in writing to Council at least seven (7) days before an ordinary Council meeting, using the link below. If your questions are received after the cut-off, they will be held-over until the next meeting.
