Streaming of Council meetings

Streaming is the broadcasting of near real-time video and audio to an audience over the internet.  

They are held in the City Hall Council Chamber (public access via Level 2), 64 Adelaide Street, Brisbane. The meetings are held weekly on Tuesdays commencing at 1pm (except during recess periods).

Yes, if you have internet access on your device.

No. The recordings of meetings after they have been uploaded to Council’s website can be stopped and re-started.

It means the meeting has paused and will resume shortly. Council meetings have adjournments for breaks such as afternoon tea, dinner or for another reason moved by a Councillor and approved by the Chamber, for example, to allow for legal advice to be sought.

The intention is to upload the recording at a similar timeframe to that of the Council Meeting Minutes, i.e. after the Minutes have been adopted by Council.

You will need a device running a supported operating system, a supported web browser and speakers.  

YouTube will scale the data based on your device and connection speed. Council recommends using Wi-Fi or a fixed line connection when viewing the broadcast.

No, but the meetings will be available online.

The recording will be available on Council’s website or Council meeting YouTube channel.

Council uses YouTube to stream meetings. If you are unable to access the stream when the meeting is occurring, refer to YouTube help.

If you are unable to access a recording from a previous meeting, contact Council’s Contact Centre on 07 3403 8888.
