The Council consists of 20 members. Each clan has one person to represent them in Council matters.

Each clan elects a Senior and Deputy member. The Senior member represents the clan in the Council - the Deputy will take over that responsibility if the Senior member is unable to attend through illness or absence. The Council will choose a Chairperson from among the 20 Senior elected members at the first meeting after elections and at every subsequent meeting of the Council. You need to be over the age of eighteen, have lived in the community for more than twelve months and be elected by the community to be a member of Council. There is an executive committee of the Council. This committee consists of five senior members elected at the first Council meeting. The quorum for an executive committee is 4. The committee can undertake any powers of the Council that have been delegated to them.

The Council should meet once a month, at a time which they agreed upon in the last meeting. The meetings are open, which means that people may attend the meeting if they want to. The Chairperson of the Council may call a special meeting. The Chairperson must give at least 2 days notice before calling a special meeting. At any meeting the Council must keep a record of what happened. These are called the Minutes of the Meeting. In order to make decisions a certain number of members must be present - this is called a quorum. A majority of members are needed to make a decision.
