Complaints Register

An Elected Member commits a minor breach if he or she contravenes the Local Government Act (Rules of Conduct) Regulations 2007.

In accordance with the Local Government Act 1995, a complaint of a minor breach is submitted to the Local Government Standards Panel for determination.

The Complaints Register provides details of minor breach complaints which the Local Government Standards Panel finds has occurred and the actions taken. The Complaints Register is published in the interest of accountability and transparency.
