Register of Primary & Annual Returns

Under the Local Government Act 1995, council members, the Chief Executive Officer and designated employees must lodge a primary return within three months of their applicable start day and an annual return by 31 August each year. In accordance with section 5.96A of the Act and regulations 29C and 29D of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996, this register publishes the name of each council member and the position of each employee who has lodged a primary or annual return. The information is retained on the Shire’s website for at least five years from the date it is first published.
