Councillor Portfolios

During this term of Council, Councillors voted to return to a system of portfolios which see individual Councillors focus on key thematic areas of the operation of Council, including chairing briefings on their areas of accountability.

Portfolios are seen by the current Councillors as a means to empower them to take the lead and focus Council on the many strategic areas that make up Maranoa Regional Council. 

Portfolios are governed by the Portfolio Policy, which can be downloaded here.
