Live Streaming of Meetings

Our public meetings are live streamed via the Moira Shire Council Facebook page on their scheduled time and date.  

All recordings shown on Facebook will be available via the Council website under their corresponding meeting date within five business days of the meeting. To access agendas, minutes and recordings visit,  Past Meetings. 

Council's Live Streaming & Publishing Recordings of Council Meetings Policy informs members of the public and Councillors on the processes, the potential benefits and any mitigation action to manage the potential risks of live streaming. 

This Policy will apply to all public Council Meetings including unscheduled, Delegated Committee Meetings and joint meetings conducted by Council.

The policy does not extend to any meetings closed to the public in accordance with Section 66(2) of the Local Government Act 2020 or the Audit and Risk Committee, established under Section 53 of the Local Government Act 2020.

There may be situations where due to technical difficulties a live stream or recording may not be available. Council takes no responsibility for and cannot be held liable for, the live streaming or the recording on Council’s website being temporarily unavailable due to technical issues beyond its control.   

Technical issues may include, but are not limited to, the availability of the internet connection, device failure or malfunction, unavailability of social media platforms, power outages.  

Every effort will be made to notify the community if live streaming is subject to any disruptions via social media and the Council website.  

The audio-visual recording equipment will be configured in a way which avoids coverage of the public gallery area and Council will endeavour to ensure images in this area are not streamed and recorded. However, Council expressly provides no assurances to this effect and in the event a person’s image is webcast, by remaining in the public gallery area it is implied that consent has been given to the Council to broadcast a person’s image.  

Any members of the public who address Council will be  present on the livestream, and the will be recorded. Any members of the public who submit a question for a Council Meeting should be aware that their name and question will be read out during the live streaming.
