Understanding Constitutions – A Navigation Guide for Councillors

Making sense of your Constitution

A council's constitution is much more than a rulebook – it is the framework that underpins effective decision-making, good governance and democratic accountability. This 90-minute online Learning Event will help councillors understand the purpose of the constitution, what it contains, and why it matters to their role, their council and the communities they serve.

Whether you are new to local government or looking to refresh your knowledge, this practical session will explain how constitutions shape council business, support sound decision-making, and protect transparency and accountability. Join this free-to-attend Learning Event to gain practical insights into how your council's constitution works, build your confidence in navigating its provisions, and apply it effectively in your day-to-day role as a councillor.
