There are five formal committees of Council that meet regularly to discuss a range of issues, applications and proposals. All committee meetings are open to the public. Committees are as follows:

• Community & Environment Committee (C&E)

  The C&E Committee considers issues relating to services for people and our local environment.

• Corporate & Works Committee (C&W)

  The C&W Committee considers financial, budget and works issues.

• Development Control Committee (DCC)

  The DCC assesses and determines development applications which involve a broad or locality wide interest.

• Strategic & Corporate Committee (S&C)

  The S&C Committee deals with issues that have an impact on the whole of Council.

• Urban Planning Committee (UP)

  The UP Committee considers design and strategic planning issues that affect the municipality.

Council also has a panel that considers development applications (DAs) of a certain nature or scale:

• Application Assessment Panel (AAP)

  The AAP is a panel of senior staff who meet to assess and determine DAs which involve a significant community interest, or have attracted submissions which raise objections that cannot be resolved by way of a condition of consent.

Council also convenes meetings of the Woollahra Local Traffic Committee (LTC):

• Woollahra Local Traffic Committee (LTC)

  The LTC is a technical advisory committee which operates under delegation from the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA). It is chaired by Council and Council is a voting member, the others being the RTA, the Police, and the Local Member(s).
