Council Member Behavioural Management Framework
The Council Member Behavioural Management Framework provides the legislative framework within which all council members must operate and provides the process for the management of complaints relating to a breach in the Behavioural Standards for Council Members.
There are 4 components to the Council Member Behavioural Management Framework:
Part 1: The legislative framework within which all council members must operate (Sections 75E and 262B of the Local Government Act).
Part 2: The Behavioural Standards for Council Members, determined by the Minister for Local Government, which apply to all Council Members in South Australia.
Behavioural Standards for Council Members
Part 3: The mandatory Behavioural Management Policy relating to the management of behaviour of Council Members and adopted pursuant to section 262B of the Local Government Act.
Part 4: Optional Behavioural Support Policy (or policies) (Council has not adopted a support policy at this time).
A breach of the Behavioural Standards for Council Members will be dealt with in accordance with Council's Behavioural Management Policy (This policy does not apply to complaints about Council employees or Council as a whole).
A complaint made under the Behavioural Management Policy must be received in writing to the Chief Executive Officer.
The Behavioural Management Policy sets out the requirements for making a complaint and the process that will be followed. Council will accept complaints by the following means:
| Marked, Confidential Chief Executive Officer, Council Member Complaint info@apc.sa.gov.au | |
| Post | Marked, Confidential Chief Executive Officer, Council Member Complaint PO Box 18, Mallala South Australia 5502, Australia |
