After a few teething troubles the process has been going quite smoothly.
Many people have said they like the new streaming method which enables them to sit with a preferred beverage, and even have dinner, while watching proceedings from the comfort of home.
But at Wednesday night's meeting we hit a rough patch with connections lost.
We had to abandon all visual and work just by audio which can be tricky with more than a dozen people trying to communicate.
This week also, the NSW government extended permissions for remote meeting procedures for all councils for another six months.
But I'm hoping we can return to physical meetings much earlier, even if that means still being without any community audience for a while yet.
As a step along that path on Wednesday, we resolved to exhibit for comment a proposed new meeting procedure.
It would involve having any community addresses on the Monday two days prior to the actual Wednesday council meeting.
That proposal will be open for your comment for six weeks.
The actual council meeting would still be webcast so people can continue to watch the formal proceedings remotely if desired.
One of this week's decisions, that was especially exciting and pleasing for me, involved the first step in a decision to preserve additional natural habitat locally.
I brought the matter to council last November, asking for us to identify sites east of the highway which could be suitable for purchasing for additional habitat protection.
Council officers have identified four sites for possible council acquisition, and 26 that will be recommended to the NSW government for addition to the national park estate.
That is a small step, but good news in the face of the increasing pressure that population growth is having on the natural landscape and our native fauna.
