                                                                                                                Our Council
                                                  The roles and responsibilities of our elected members
                                                  are underpinned by the Code of Conduct for Councillors
                                                  in Queensland which is a public declaration of the
                                                  principles of good conduct and standards of behaviour
                                                  that councillors must display when carrying out their
                                                  duties. This includes modelling the following standards of
                                                  behaviour:


                                                  — carrying out responsibilities conscientiously and in the
                                                     best interests of the Council and the community,
                                                  — treating people in a reasonable, just, respectful, and
                                                     non-discriminatory way, and
                                                  — ensuring conduct does not adversely reflect on the

                                                     reputation of Council.                                      47


                                                  Therefore, the structure of our Council, consisting of
                                                  a group of independently elected councillors, is an
                                                  environment in which good relationships, mutual respect
                                                  and a constructive appreciation of differences are
                                                  required for good decision making and the capacity of
                                                  councillors to deliver on their various election platforms
                                                  for our community.
