Advisory Committees

The City of Stonnington has several committees to support Councillors in their decision-making.

In addition to Councillors, committee membership includes representatives from relevant stakeholder or interest groups and, where appropriate, representatives from the community.

These committees are not decision-making bodies and do not carry executive authority, which remains with our Councillors and delegated officers.
