Cabinet Advisory Groups

These groups examine topics selected by Cabinet which align to corporate council priorities.

Cabinet Advisory Groups (CAGs) are not formal meetings of the council and do not have the status of advisory committees under the Local Government Act 1972 Section 102(4).

CAGs are ad-hoc committees set up to examine topics selected by Cabinet which align to corporate council priorities. They enable back bench members to be more closely involved with issues of greatest importance to the council.
