Local Government Code of Conduct

The Local Government Act (1993) provides a local government code of conduct framework for Tasmanian councillors.  The Code of Conduct provides a consistent, effective and enforceable means to address councillor misconduct.

A complainant must complete a Local Government Code of Complaint Form and lodge it with the General Manager of the relevant council within six months of the alleged contravention.
