About the policy
The intention of the Ethical Lobbying Policy is to implement specific controls over the activities of lobbyists engaged to act on behalf of third-party clients and allows officials who are approached by lobbyists to establish whose interests they represent so that informed judgements can be made about the outcome/s they are seeking to achieve. Furthermore, the Policy intends to outline the standards and behaviour expected by Council officials and lobbyists in engaging in lobbying activities with Council.
