Policy Library
The Policy Library is a website operated by the Municipality of Wassenaar. It contains currently adopted policies: vision documents, policy papers, management plans, policy rules, ordinances, and other documents. All materials are organized by nationally defined policy themes. Council and executive committee decisions are also included, with links to their sources.
The purpose of the policy library is to make municipal policies and decisions accessible to everyone—council members, residents, and staff. The site has been online since April 7, 2026. The content is still growing; not everything is listed there yet. If in doubt, always consult the official source.
This library was created with the careful assistance of AI, based on public sources (including council and executive committee decisions via iBabs and Official Notices). Each decision includes a link to the source. If in doubt, always check the official documents at wassenaar.bestuurlijkeinformatie.nl, , or with the municipality.
For residents
The Policy Library provides an overview of the municipality’s current adopted policies and the decisions made by the municipal council. It is not a new decision, but rather a summary of adopted policies that are already public.
What can you do with it?
- Find out what the city council or the executive board decided regarding an issue that affects you.
- Click on the links to access the official publication or meeting documents.
- Explore policy topics if you want to know which established policies apply to a particular subject and what the current rules are.
Not legal advice
The Policy Library is for informational purposes only. For questions regarding your rights, filing an appeal, or your specific situation, please contact your local municipality or a consultant. If in doubt, always refer to the source cited in the decision.
For council members
As a council member, you want to quickly see what policies are currently in effect and where they can be found. The Policy Library brings together all current municipal policies in one place, organized by nationally defined policy themes.
