Policies
Bass Coast Shire Council has demonstrated ongoing commitment to the principles of reconciliation through introducing a statement of acknowledgement at Council meetings and flying the Aboriginal flag permanently at key Council sites.
This Policy was developed for the purpose of identifying expenses to be paid to the Mayor and Councillors when travelling to events, conferences, seminars and the like on behalf of Council. It provides clear guidelines with respect to the following: airline travel, accommodation, meals, ground transportation, car parking fees and the use of private vehicles.
By 2026 the population aged over 65 in the Shire is expected to be 43.5%. This will have major implications for economic and social policy and planning, creating special opportunities and challenges for Council.
Procurement Policy ensures total value for money, provides accountability and improves business relationships
The elected Councillors must be provided with a range of resources to enable them to effectively carry out their role
In 2008 Bass Coast had the 8th highest expenditure on 'pokies' in rural Victoria. The Responsible Gaming Policy sets out Council's role and responsibility in relation to Electronic Gaming Machines.
At Bass Coast Shire Council we value the right of every employee, Councillor, contractor, volunteer and customer to be treated with respect, dignity and courtesy.
