ROLES &
RESPONSIBILITIES


Local governments are responsible for the
good rule and their local government
areas.[7] This responsibility includes the
performance of various functions and the
delivery of a range of services to the
community.

Within this context, an understanding and
acceptance of the different roles of the
Mayor, Councillors and employees, with
cooperation between all parties, underpins
good governance for our local
government.

It is important to note that elected
members and Council employees are
tasked with delivering the functions of the
local government, and in doing so must
adhere to the principles of good
governance – equity, transparency,
integrity and accountability – to secure the
confidence of the communities they
serve.[8]
