Behavioural Management - Complaints regarding Elected Members

Behavioural Management Policy

The Behavioural Standards (the Standards) for Council Members replace Part 2 of the current Code of Conduct for Council Members

The Standards set out the minimum standards for behaviour that are expected of all council members in the performance of their official functions and duties. The Standards are mandatory rules, by which council members must comply. Adherence to the Standards is essential to upholding the principles of good governance in councils. No. 79 - Thursday, 17 November 2022 (pp. 6637–6680) (dit.sa.gov.au)
