R19-9

Rejected January 2019

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

The Local Government Transparency Code should be updated to provide that the view of the Independent Person in relation to a decision on which they are consulted should be formally recorded in any decision notice or minutes.

Government response

The government does not agree with this. The Local Government Transparency Code is a statutory requirement to publish information; it does not regulate the content of councils' minutes or decision notices.
