Public Access Request

Public Access is an opportunity for you to share your thoughts with Council. Please read Council's Public Access Guide for an in-depth understanding of how Public Access sessions operate.

Public Access is held between 9.00am and 10.30am on the day of the Council meeting.

Public Access is split into two sections:

  1. Public Forum: Address an agenda item - make a statement to Council in support of or against, an item on the agenda.
  2. Open Forum: General submission - raise a matter that is not listed on the agenda; or a Question - ask a question of Council in relation to an item on the agenda or issue currently before Council.

Requests for Public Access should be made by completing the online Public Access Request form, by no later than 12 noon the day before the meeting.

If you have material you wish to be displayed during your speech, please email to CouncillorSupport@byron.nsw.gov.au by 12 noon the day before the meeting. We cannot accept USBs on the day due to security reasons.

Requests received after the registration deadline will only be considered at the discretion of the Chairperson. There is no guarantee these will be accepted, and you are strongly encouraged to ensure your registration is received by no later than 12 noon the day before the meeting.
