Gifts and travel

Local government legislation, amended in October 2019, now requires Councillors and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to publicly disclose gifts they receive in their capacity as a Councillor or CEO which are valued over $300. 

Multiple gifts from the same donor where the cumulative value is over $300, and travel contributions must also be disclosed. All disclosures must be made within 10 days of receiving a gift. 

The CEO maintains a record of these disclosures in a register, which is published on the City’s website.
