Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct sets minimum standards for the behaviour of Council Members in the performance and discharge of official functions and duties. It has been developed to assist Council to:

1. Understand the standards of conduct that are expected of them and the law that applies in relation to these standards;
2. Fulfill their duty to act honestly and exercise reasonable care and diligence;
3. Act in a way that enhances public confidence in local government; and
4. Identify and resolve situations which might involve a potential misuse of position and authority
