The Council Code of Conduct sets standards for the behaviour of Council Members in carrying out their functions. It has been developed to assist Council and Members to:
- Understand the standards of conduct that are expected of them and the law that applies in relation to these standards
- Fulfill their duty to act honestly and exercise reasonable care and diligence
- Act in a way that enhances public confidence in local government
- Identify and resolve situations which might involve a conflict of interest or a potential misuse of position and authority
The Code of Conduct outlines each individual's responsibility to uphold these principles and values, and act in the public interest.
