Council meetings stream online
GOLD Coast City Council's first council meeting for 2012 will be held today.
It is the first meeting to be streamed live on the internet.
Mayor Ron Clarke said the streaming would enable the public to have access to decisions and debates without having to leave their homes or offices.
"If the community wants to know what council is considering and what the outcomes of decisions are, they now don't have to get in their cars, come to the meetings and sit for hours in the public gallery," Mayor Clarke said.
"Most people these days are so busy that even if someone is interested in an issue, they often don't have the time to attend council meetings."
