Live stream Council meetings

All public ordinary and special meetings of Maroondah City Council are streamed live and recorded and made available to the public via this website after the meeting.

Live streaming allows you to watch and listen to the meeting in real time, giving you greater access to Council debate and decision making and encouraging openness and transparency.

Maintaining privacy 

Every care is taken to maintain privacy and attendees are advised they may be recorded. 

Privilege and protection 

Local Government decision making, unlike State and Federal Government, does not afford Councillors the benefit of parliamentary privilege and hence, all associated laws apply.

It should therefore be noted that no protection is afforded to Councillors, Council employees or the public for comments made during meetings which are subsequently challenged in a court of law and determined to be slanderous.

Technical difficulties

There may be situations where, due to technical difficulties, a live stream may not be available.

Technical issues may include, but are not limited to:

  • the availability of the internet connection
  • device failure or malfunction
  • unavailability of social media platforms 
  • power outages.

While every effort will be made to ensure the live streaming and website are available, Maroondah City Council takes no responsibility for, and cannot be held liable for the live streaming, if Council’s website is temporarily unavailable due to technical issues beyond its control.
