Receipt of a gift can result in a conflict of interest, or a perceived conflict of interest, in a matter. The Local Government Act 2020 (the Act) sets out legislative requirements in relation to conflict of interest and each Councillor and Council officer is responsible to familiarise themselves with the provisions contained in the Act. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to override the provisions of the Act. In the event of any apparent inconsistency, the provisions of the Act will prevail.
