Northern Grampians Shire Greenlight Planning and Building Permits
Published on 26 July 2024
Northern Grampians Shire Council is concerned by a recent Facebook post by Councillor Lauren Dempsey requesting the Minister for Local Government, The Hon Minister Horne MP, to appoint a Monitor for the Council,” Northern Grampians Shire Council Mayor, Councillor Haswell, said.
Northern Grampians Shire Council is governed by the Local Government Act 2020 which establishes a Councillor conduct framework and provides a clear hierarchy for management of councillor conduct issues.
Councillors will often agree on a wide range of issues but will also disagree and have robust discussions. This is all a part of the local government process.
“The request from Councillor Dempsey comes after she made a misconduct complaint against fellow Councillors,” Councillor Haswell added.
During the current term of Council there have been no findings of misconduct or serious misconduct against any Councillors.
The Mayor said, “The Council is functioning well including adopting the budget on 1 July and is running its meetings as per the code of conduct.”
