Council acknowledges that it has a duty of care and work health and safety responsibility to our customers, visitors, volunteers and employees.

Council seeks your opinion on this new policy.

Why is this important to me?

This policy will protect the rights and privacy of residents; help residents and children feel safer while utilising Council premises; it will define the standards that the community can expect from employees, staff and associates of Council; it defines acceptable customer behaviours; and will ensure that high standards of service are provided to our community at all times.
