Draft Councillor and Staff Interaction Policy

In accordance with Council’s Code of Conduct, Councillors and staff are expected to conduct their interactions with each other with respect, professionalism, honesty and to a high standard of ethical behaviour.

The SVC Councillor and Staff Interaction Policy aims to facilitate a positive working relationship between Councillors as elected representatives of the community and the staff employed to administer the operations of Council.

It is important to have a framework to assist in an effective working relationship that recognises the important but differing contributions both parties bring to their complementary roles.
