To achieve the objectives within our Community Plan, By-laws and Policies must be put in place. By-laws are established by the Council, via community consultation, and are there to govern aspects of community life within our municipality. The policies implemented by Council provide guidelines for City of Palmerston's operations. Policies are designed to guide decision-making, budgets, resources and service delivery level, with the intention to continuously improve community life in Palmerston and overall effectiveness of City of Palmerston.
