Shire of Mundaring Code of Conduct and Brigade Operating Procedures
The Shire of Mundaring have released drafts of the Code of Conduct and Brigade Operating Procedure documents. It is proposed that these documents will be present to BFAC on the 24th of October. Feedback on the documents is requested by the 12th of October.
Ahead of this deadline, it is requested that any comments be forwarded to Adrian or Vicki before the general Brigade meeting at the end of the month (Tuesday 25th Sept).
It is intended that these documents will form the basis for how our Brigade, as well as others within the Shire, conduct our day-to-day business. We have one opportunity to ensure that these documents are up to scratch before they are presented to Brigades for adoption.
