Policies

West Daly Regional Council provides approved policies for its operations and functioning.

All enquires relating to Council policies can be directed to our Governance and Quality Assurance Officer on 08 7922 6403 or emailed to info@westdaly.nt.gov.au

With the changes in the Local Government Act 2019 released on 1 July 2021, Council has twelve months to transition and amend, update or create new policies in order to be compliant.

Council has decided to change Elected Member policies to move under the Governance suite of policies. Reference to 'GOV' policies are now covered by "Transitional Governance Policies" and "Governance policies prior to the Local Government Act 2019 changes".
