Documents for public review

We have a number of documents, records and processes available on this page for public inspection.

We are committed to being accountable to the community through transparency of information, service data, performance and decision-making. Our Public Transparency Policy (PDF 263Kb) was most recently adopted by Council on 12 March 2025 and commenced on 13 March 2025.

Council meeting, committee, and committee meeting documents

  • Council meeting agendas and minutes for the previous 10 years are available on our Minutes and past agendas page. You can email Governance_Shared@merri-bek.vic.gov.au if you require access to agendas and minutes from before 2016.

    We currently do not have any Delegated Committees so there are no documents to provide for these committees.
