MACDONNELL COUNCIL CODE OF CONDUCT

ITEM NUMBER 4.1 TITLE MacDonnell Council Code of Conduct RECOMMENDATION

That the Haasts Bluff Local Authority note the Council Code of Conduct.

SUMMARY: This report contains all of the details about the MacDonnell Council Code of Conduct BACKGROUND MacDonnell Regional Council Code of Conduct

1 Interests of the Council and Community come first

A member must act in the best interests of the community, its outstations and the Council.

2 Honesty A member must be honest and act the right way (with integrity) when performing official duties.

3 Taking care A member must be careful to make good decisions (diligence), and must not be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, when performing official duties.

4 Politeness/Courtesy A member must be polite to other members, council staff, electors and members of the public.

5 Conduct towards council staff A member must not direct, reprimand, or interfere in the management of council staff.

6 Respect for culture A member must respect different cultures, families and language groups (cultural diversity) and not be unfair towards others, or the opinions of others, because of their background.

7 Conflict of interest A member must, if possible, avoid conflict of interest between the member's private interests (other job, business etc.) and duties. Where a conflict exists, the member must inform the Council or Local Authority and not take part in the discussion or vote

7 Accountable A member must be able to show that they have made good decisions for the community.

8 Respect for private business

A member must not share private (confidential) information that they heard as a member outside of meetings. A member must not make improper use of confidential information to gain a benefit or to cause harm to another.

ISSUES/OPTIONS/CONSEQUENCES A Code of Conduct helps Councils remain strong and focussed, and ensures all Councillors, staff and Local Authority Members are following the same rules. When Councils do not have a strong Code of Conduct they leave themselves open to negative external influences (such as pressure from certain groups or individuals) and do not appear to be serving the best needs of their residents.
