The Full Council, composed of the Mayor and 13 Ward Councillors, is the decision-making body on all policy matters. The majority of items brought before the Council are raised as recommendations from one of its two committees and one panel - the Development Assessment Panel, the Engineering and Environmental Services Committee, Corporate and Community Services Committee.

Other Committees include the Audit Committee, Mitcham Heritage Committee, CEO Recruitment Committee and the Committee to Undertake a Performance Review of the Chief Executive Officer. A number of Sub-Committees also operate on behalf of Council.
