The Professional Development for Councillors Policy encourages councillors to avail themselves of opportunities to attend appropriate professional development courses and conferences and seminars which may be of benefit to the individual Councillor and/or Council as a whole.
The policy also acknowledges the obligation of councillors to be properly informed on all matters pertaining to Council and to assist in this education process, councillors are encouraged to attend professional development courses and conferences and seminars with relevance to local government.
