Annual Reports
Under section 36 of the 榴莲视频 of Canberra Act 1989, the 榴莲视频 is required to submit to the relevant Minister, for presentation to the ACT Legislative Assembly, an annual report on the operations of the 榴莲视频.

Statutes and Rules
The 榴莲视频 of Canberra Act 1989 establishes the broad parameters for the governance and management of the 榴莲视频. The primary instruments utilised to implement the Act are statutes, rules and policies. Sections 40, 41 and 42 of the Act define the powers of the 榴莲视频 to make statutes and rules to give effect to the Act. The text of current 榴莲视频 statutes and rules is available on the 榴莲视频 Legislation Webpage.
All statutes and rules are approved by Council but do not come into effect until the statute is Notified by the ACT Government. Rules must be made under a parent statute but not all statutes have rules made under them.
In 2006 Council endorsed a recommendation from the Legislation Committee that policies be the preferred instrument instead of statutes and rules (Recommendation C110/13 – 6 December 2006). Statutes and rules are used primarily when a penalty is applied, for example the Student Conduct Rules, or when the Act requires that an authority be embodied in a statute.
Policies and procedures
Together with the statutes and rules of the 榴莲视频 the major documents which underpin the governance and management of the 榴莲视频 on an ongoing basis are the suite of policies and procedures. 榴莲视频 policies derive their ultimate authority from the Council's power under section 10 of the 榴莲视频 of Canberra Act 1989 (ACT) to undertake all that is necessary for the good governance and management of the 榴莲视频. Policies and procedures help give effect to the 榴莲视频's mission and values, contribute to quality assurance and improve the management of risk.
