Personal Interest Returns

The Local Government Act 2020 (the Act) requires that all specified persons (for example a Councillor, a member of a delegated committee who is not a Councillor, a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or a nominated officer) must lodge an initial personal interests return with Council’s CEO within 30 days of appointment.

The CEO in December 2020 confirmed that all senior officers (being the CEO, Directors and Managers) and the Municipal Building Surveyor are considered a nominated officer.

All specified persons, including the nominated officers, will be required to lodge a biannual return in March and September each year with Council’s CEO.

The CEO must also prepare a summary of the personal interests information disclosed.

The Act and the Local Government (Governance and Integrity) Regulations 2020 detail what information must be included and excluded in the summary. The CEO must make sure the summary is available on Council’s website. A copy of the summary of personal interests is also available for inspection at the office of Council during normal office hours.

Summary of Personal Interests

A Summary of the Personal Interest Returns must be made publicly available in accordance with Section 135(2) Local Government Act 2020 and Clause 10 Local Government (Governance and Integrity) Regulations 2020.
