"With NSW Government restrictions eased, meetings were anticipated to return to the Council Chamber next month," a spokesperson said.
"However, February meetings, public forum and public access will continue on Zoom to enable participation by one of Eurobodalla's Councillors while they continue medical treatment.
"In-chamber meetings are expected to restart in March."
Council meetings begin at 11am, are normally held on fortnightly Tuesdays, and are open to the public. They are livestreamed and also available for replay from Council's website the day after the meeting.
Council meetings are preceded by a public forum where community members can address councillors and senior staff about any item on that day's meeting agenda. The first meeting for 2021 is Tuesday, February 9.
Public access sessions are run once per month and provide the community with the opportunity to raise council-related issues with councillors. The first public access session for 2021 is from 9.15am on Tuesday, February 2 via Zoom.
Council meetings, public forum and public access are run in accordance with Council's Code of Meeting Practice.
