Under the Local Government Act 1995, Elected Members, the Chief Executive Officer and designated employees are required to lodge primary and annual returns declaring prescribed financial interests. These returns support public confidence by ensuring potential conflicts of interest are disclosed and appropriately managed.
This register records the names and positions of those required to lodge a return, the type of return submitted (primary or annual), and the relevant reporting period. In accordance with legislative requirements, the content of the returns themselves is not published.
The register is maintained and updated in line with statutory obligations and is made available to support open and accountable governance.
