Brewarrina Shire Council consists of an elected council and the executive management team.
The elected council is the decision-making body that sets the strategic direction and policy for the shire and consists of the Mayor and eight councillors.
Councillors are voted in by residents in Local Government elections, which are held every four years, to represent the needs and wishes of the community, making significant decisions on their behalf.
The executive management team, which is led by the General Manager, is responsible for the day-to-day operations and ensuring that the decisions of the elected council are implemented.
Council staff and councillors are required to abide by the Code of Conduct.
Council meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month for the Ordinary Council meeting. Business papers, meeting minutes and recordings for the monthly meetings are available here.
