The Audit and Risk Committee is a Committee of Council under Section 53 of the Local Government Act 2020. It is not a delegated Committee of Council and does not have decision-making powers.
The Audit and Risk Committee oversees risk, governance, financial management, and compliance.
It works to an adopted work plan and is governed by Council’s Audit and Risk Committee Charter(PDF, 295KB). This charter sets out the Committee’s objectives, authority, composition, responsibilities, and reporting requirements.
