Complaints Register

The complaints officer for each local government is required to maintain a register of complaints which records all complaints that result in action under section 5.110(6) of the Local Government Act 1995. The register of complaints is to include, for each recorded complaint the date, name of Council Member about whom the complaint is made, name of person making the complaint, description of minor breach that the standards panel finds has occurred and details of the action taken under section 5.110.

There is no requirement for a register of public complaints.
