September Update
At the August Council Meeting, Council endorsed the Draft Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy. The Policy will soon be available on Council's Policy register.
What is this Policy about?
Georges River Council is planning for the future use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a safe, transparent and responsible way.
AI tools are increasingly used across organisations to support services, improve efficiency and assist decision‑making. While these tools can deliver benefits, they also raise important questions about privacy, fairness, accountability and trust. Council has prepared a Draft Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy to guide how AI may be used across Council operations. The Policy sets clear rules and safeguards to ensure AI is used responsibly and with appropriate human oversight.
We are now seeking feedback from our community before the Policy is finalised.
What does the Draft Policy do?
The Draft AI Policy will help Council:
Use AI in a way that is ethical, safe and accountable
Protect community data, privacy and security
Be transparent about where and how AI is used
Ensure people remain responsible for important decisions
Support innovation that improves services for the community
Is this a new Policy?
Yes. The Draft Policy aligns with NSW Government best practice, including the NSW AI Assessment Framework.
Key features of the Draft AI Policy include:
Adoption of the NSW AI Ethics Principles
A risk‑based approach to AI use (from low to elevated risk)
A public AI Register to improve transparency
Strong controls for privacy, data security and records management
Clear requirements for human oversight of AI‑supported decisions
Training and capability building for Council staff
How to Be Involved
The Draft Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy was currently on exhibition from 5 June until 3 July 2026.
Feedback has closed, but if you have an enquiry, please quote SF26/3471 Draft Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy at the beginning of your submission and return:
