Personal Interest Return Summary

The Local Government Act 2020 and associated regulations state that Council must publish a summary of the matters disclosed in the personal interest returns of certain specified officers. Personal interest returns are completed by specified officers to promote transparency and integrity in the operation of local government.

A Personal Interest Return must be completed within 30 days of the commencement in their role, and then biannually in March and September of each subsequent year. The Victorian Government imposes penalties for false and incomplete information provided in any Personal Interest Return, and for failing to lodge the Personal Interest Return within the legislated timeframes. 

Council is required to provide public access to a summary of the Personal Interest Return's which have been lodged.
