APPLICATION TO ADDRESS LTF PUBLIC FORUM
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who can speak at a Public Forum?
You may speak if you are a resident or a ratepayer of the City of Canada Bay, or you can have someone else speak on your behalf. You can also speak as a representative of a local community organisation or authority.
Are there any restrictions on what I can speak about?
You may only speak on matters listed on the agenda of the meeting commencing after the Public Forum. To be fair to everyone, you can only speak once at a forum.
Are there any rules for speaking at the meeting?
Each speaker has five (5) minutes – when your time reaches four (4) minutes, you will be advised that there is only one (1) minute remaining. Again, for fairness to everyone, no extensions of time are given.
You may use and distribute printed information; sketches etc, subject to the Chairperson's agreement, but Council cannot accommodate audio-visual equipment such as mobile phones, tablets (iPads, Android, etc), laptops or USB devices.
The order of speakers is allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
How do I arrange to speak at a meeting?
Simply complete this form by 1:00pm on Wednesday, the week prior to the scheduled LTF meeting. Late applications will not be accepted.
