Consultation has concluded
Stage 2 Consultations - Model Councillor Code of Conduct, Councillor Training
The Victorian Government's new Model Councillor Code of Conduct and requirements to complete annual professional development training and mayoral training will come into operation following the council elections in October.
During the first stage of consultation there were two surveys posted on Engage Vic seeking feedback on what should and shouldn’t be included in the Model Code and councillor professional development and mayoral training. Respondents to the survey included councillors, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), council staff, peak bodies, community groups, and community members. In total:
146 people completed the Professional Development and Mayoral Training survey; and
246 people completed the Model Councillor Code of Conduct survey.
The second stage of consultation is now open. Local Government Victoria is calling on councils and individuals to provide detailed feedback on:
the draft Model Councillor Code of Conduct
the draft Internal Resolution Procedure
the draft training outline for Mandatory Induction Training, Mayoral Training and Professional Development Training.
Feedback is sought on whether any additional matters should be included and whether any content should be removed or revised. Examples of model conduct for inclusion in the Model Code or training is also sought.
Submissions can be lodged via Engage Vic or sent to Local Government Victoria via email at lgv@ecodev.vic.gov.au. Please put in the subject line “Submission - Local Government Reforms 2024 – Stage 2”.
Submissions will close on 4 September 2024.
