Code of Conduct for Councillors

This workshop builds understanding of the Model Code, helps identify and manage conflicts of interest, and supports integrity and accountability in council roles.

Council officials play a vital role in serving local communities. To do this effectively, they need to uphold the highest standards of behaviour to ensure communities have trust and confidence in Local Government.

The standards of behaviour are described in detail in the Model Code of Conduct. The Code is a legal document that all officials are obliged to understand and follow. The Model Code forms the basis of each council’s code of conduct.

At the conclusion of the workshop participants should be able to:

  • know the requirements set out in the Model Code of Conduct
  • identify Pecuniary and Non-Pecuniary conflicts of interest
  • understand the principles and processes for managing conflicts of interest
  • recognise the responsibility to promote organisational integrity and accountability
