LGA code of conduct

The LGA seeks to maintain the highest standards of conduct and integrity amongst its employees and its elected members.


Councillors appointed to formal LGA roles, or otherwise undertaking LGA business, are required to operate in accordance with the LGA’s Code of Conduct for Political and Independent Appointees. 

Complaints against councillors working on LGA business are very rare. The LGA’s complaints policy sets out what to do in the event of a complaint.
