The purpose of this policy is to provide clarity for Councillors and officers (staff) about dealings with each other, so they are clear about interactions not addressed in their respective Codes of Conduct, as well as their respective obligations and duties under the Local Government Act 2020.
Note this Councillor/staff interaction policy is not a Council policy but is a policy of the CEO made under section 46 of the Local Government Act 2020. The Model Councillor Code of Conduct requires Councillors to comply with any policy made by the CEO under this section of the Act.
