Code of Conduct for Council Staff

We are committed to fair dealing and high standards of ethical behaviour in caring for and managing our municipality.

The community places its trust in our councillors, staff and contractors to ensure that we serve them faithfully and honestly and manage resources responsibly on their behalf.

We must ensure that our business is conducted efficiently, impartially and with integrity, and that the interests of our community are always our priority.

The code is designed to guide us in carrying out our duties honestly and with integrity, and it meets the requirements of Section 49 of the Local Government Act 2020.

It helps to ensure we:

  • comply with all relevant legislative and internal requirements
  • meet the highest standards
  • avoid any form of conduct that may bring councillors or ourselves into disrepute.
