Conflict of Interest: A Guide for Councillors
22 Aug 2011A concise Conflict of Interest Guide is now available to help Victoria’s councillors identify and where necessary, disclose conflicts of interest.
Local governments are entrusted with a range of decision-making powers so that they can govern in the best interests in their communities. These powers should only be used in a way that is consistent with the purpose and objectives of councils, as described in the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act). This describes the conflict of interest requirements found in the Act.
