City of Brisbane Act 2010

The City of Brisbane Act 2010 creates a framework for Brisbane's day to day operations and long-term plans. The Act, which became law on 1 July 2010, provides for the way in which the Brisbane City Council is constituted and its responsibilities and powers.

The City of Brisbane Act 2010 requires key Council documents be published and available for download. This includes key documents relating to finance, the budget, policies and the annual report. More documents will become available in the future as they are published.

The Act helps to ensure Brisbane continues to be a strong, healthy, sustainable and vibrant city, and has:

• a local government that is accountable, effective, efficient and sustainable
• transparent and effective processes
• sustainable development and management of assets and delivery of effective services
• democratic representation, social inclusion and meaningful community engagement
• good governance and ethical behaviours of councillors and council employees
