Read by hand. We read Alfred and Plantagenet's own documents for this site in October 2026; the Sources page lists which ones. The comparisons with other places still come from the Province's yearly reports.

Council

Who decides, and how you can hold them to account

Alfred and Plantagenet is run by an elected council of 5 people. They set the budget, approve big purchases and hire the senior staff who run the town day to day.

Current council

Names and official email addresses from the town's council page. None of the members lists a public social media account there.

How open is Alfred and Plantagenet?

What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 5, 2026.

  • Yes
    Budgets posted online

    The 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 budgets are posted as PDFs. The page says the budget is presented to council at the end of each year and approved early the next year. The 2026 PDF does not say whether it is the draft or the adopted version, so we call it the posted 2026 budget. Source

  • Yes
    Audited financial statements

    Statements for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are posted. The 2025 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from the Hawkesbury firm of Chartered Professional Accountants. Source

  • No
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    The council page says council remuneration and allowances are "Available upon request from the Department of Finance". We did not find the yearly statement posted, so we could not fill in the council pay table. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas, minutes and videos

    The Township says agendas go up on the Friday before each meeting and minutes once council approves them. We did not read any agendas or minutes for this pack. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Alfred and Plantagenet's official channels, as linked from its own website. Council members may also post on their own pages; we link only to official municipal channels.

  • Township meeting videos on YouTube and Facebook

    The Township says regular meetings are shown live on its YouTube channel and Facebook page, and that every meeting since March 2020 has been recorded. We did not check how many recordings are posted.

How to raise a concern

From the gentlest step to the most serious. Start at the top.

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Township says the firm Cunningham Swan Carty Little & Bonham acts as its Integrity Commissioner, takes complaints about the Code of Conduct, and advises council members. We did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the pages we read.
