Community Council
The Old Aberdeen Community Council (OACC) has been set up to represent the views and needs of the Old Aberdeen community.
The Council is elected from people living in the area with the support of the Aberdeen
City Council. The City Council describes the community councils in this manner:
“Community
Councils are elected to represent a particular area and to be a bridge between that
community and the City Council and other public authorities. Their purpose is to
give local people a say in matters such as local service delivery and other issues
affecting daily life. Community Councils are consulted on planning and licensing
matters. The City Council also involves community councils in the Community Planning
process and in many public consultation exercises”.
Full details of the legislative
background within which Community Councils operate may be found at the Scottish Office

The OACC covers the area between Sunnybank Road in the south to the river Don in the North and from Bedford Road across to King Street. This is shown on a map which you can access by clicking on the link to the right of this page.
