The Register of Interests contains the Elected Members' Primary and Ordinary Returns and is available for inspection at the council's office at 24 Jetty Road, Brighton.

Under sections 70(a1) and 72(2) of the Local Government Act 1999, Council must publish on its website the Register relating to pecuniary interests of Elected Members and subsidiary board members, ensuring that the following details are not published:

Section 80A of the Local Government Act 1999 (the Act) and Regulation 8AA of the Local Government (General) Regulations 2013 (the Regulations), sets out the legal requirements for training and development for Elected Members.

Elected Members must comply with the prescribed mandatory requirements, which include the Local Government Association Training Standards. Failure to comply will result in a suspension of the Elected Member by Council (unless the member satisfies Council there were good reasons for the failure to comply). An Elected Member must undertake the Mandatory Training within the first 12 months of their four-year term.

Subsection 80A(2h) of the Local Government Act 1999 requires the Chief Executive Officer to maintain a register relating to the training and development of Elected Members. The training register below confirms that all Elected Members have met the mandatory requirements.

The Register of Elected Members’ Gifts and Benefits is an important tool for transparency and accountability in government. If an Elected Member receives a gift or benefits greater than the amount determined by the Minister, currently gazetted at $50, the Member must provide details of the gift or benefit.

The Elected Member Gift and Benefits Register will be made available on this webpage and updated every quarter.
