Elected members agree to the terms of Council’s Code of Conduct for Councillors (PDF). The Local Government Act 1993 requires Council adopt a Dispute Resolution Policy. The purpose of this policy is to establish the principles and procedures for dispute resolution with, and between, Councillors before a Code of Conduct complaint is lodged. The policy contains details of:
- how the policy is to be used to resolve disputes;
- how the policy is accessible to complainants;
- how the policy is equitable for both complainants and respondents; and
- how the processes of, and decision-making under, the policy are transparent, including the procedure for documenting the outcome of the dispute resolution process.
Lodgement of a dispute requires payment of a prescribed amount of 25 fee units (a fee unit is currently set at $1.87) which equates to $46.75.
If, however, you wish to lodge a Code of Conduct complaint against a Councillor, the Local Government Code of Conduct Complaint Form (PDF) is designed to assist you in complying with Section 28V of the Local Government Act 1993. A fee of $93,50 is required to be paid to Council when lodging of a Code of Conduct complaint in terms of the Fee Units Act 1997.
Council is also required to make available Councillors allowances and expenses. These are detailed in the Councillors Allowances and Expenses Table 2023/24 (PDF).
