We have been working with the Local Government Liaison Group to provide documents that will become integral to the new Councillor Complaints system. These documents will assist with implementation of the new system and become important guides to working within the system into the future.
This is your chance to provide feedback on these important documents so please take the time to review them and submit your feedback.
Should you wish to discuss the documents further please contact Stephan Bohnen, Intergovternmental Team, LGAQ on 1300 542 700.
