OPDC governance, board and committees
The OPDC Board is responsible for governing the OPDC.
The Board responsibilities include:
- providing leadership, advice and support
- setting strategic direction and overall policy
- monitoring standards, performance and corporate governance
- representing the OPDC with other stakeholders.
Planning decisions are made by our Planning Committee, which has its own Code of Conduct. The Scheme of Planning Delegations also allows the Director of Planning, or officers reporting directly to the Director of Planning, to determine planning application on behalf of OPDC.
