Published on 05 June 2023

Council building

From 5 June until 22 June we’re inviting you to have your say on our draft "Community complaints about a Councillor" draft policy.

You’re invited to have your say on our draft "Community complaints about a Councillor" policy.

This policy provides us with a standard approach and clear mechanisms to guide the Mayor, staff and community in handling any complaints made about a Councillor by a community member.

The Local Government Act 2020 (Vic) requires all Councils to have this policy in place, which aims to:

  • provide a framework for the open, fair, objective and transparent handling of complaints about a Councillor.
  • maintain high standards of good governance and transparency.
  • ensure alignment with the Local Government Act 2020.

We are keen to hear your thoughts on how accessible the draft policy and methods of complaints are.

This policy does not apply to complaints made by community members about any services provided by Council.
