A Local Government Code of Conduct outlines the expected ethical behavior and standards for councillors and other public officials within a local authority. It typically includes principles like selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership. /1
The code also sets out rules regarding conduct, such as treating others with respect, avoiding conflicts of interest, and not misusing council resources.
