Gift Register
Changes to the disclosure requirements around gifts and travel contributions valued over $50 came into effect on March 4, 2016.
Councillors and designated employees are now required to disclose, in writing, to the CEO within 10 days. A designated employee is the CEO, an employee with delegation of authority, an employee who is a member of a committee comprising councillors and employees and any employee nominated by the local government. This replaces the previous process of disclosing these annually in a return.
The CEO is required to keep a register of these disclosures and publish the register on the Shire's website. The Gifts and Contributions to Travel Register are listed below.
