Boards & Committees

The boards and committees established by Beaumont City Council serve a range of functions that strengthen the community.

Serve it up! Help shape Beaumont

With membership appointed from the public by Council, the boards and committees:

  • provide advice to Council
  • make recommendations to Council, or
  • hear and decide appeals related to development.

Board members are appointed by Council from an annual call for volunteers or as vacancies arise. Board recruitment closes in December and City Council appoints public members in January. Our thanks to everyone who applies to serve the community.

Whether it’s advising City Council on needs for recreation, culture, the arts, or issues affecting youth, or you want a hand in setting the direction for the Beaumont library, hearing subdivision and development appeals, or evaluating funding requests for community groups, there are many ways for you to serve it up!
