We are transitioning to a new Planning Application platform. As a result, the existing My Mount Alexander system will be unavailable from 5.00pm Thursday 12 November. Our new planning application platform will be available from 9.00am Monday 16 November. We apologise for the inconvenience.
The Maldon Transfer Station has limited hours and services. It will reopen for green waste only on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 9.00am-11.00am until 15 November. The Castlemaine Transfer Station will continue to operate as normal. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
From 26 October 2024, the Local Government Act 2020 requires all Councillors to observe the Model Councillor Code of Conduct (Model Code of Conduct). The Model Code of Conduct is prescribed in Schedule 1 to the Local Government (Governance and Integrity) Regulations 2020.
The Model Code of Conduct replaced the previous statutory requirements for Councils to develop their own Councillor Code of Conduct and the previous Standards of Conduct.
The Model Code of Conduct sets out individual standards of conduct expected to be observed by Councillors when performing their roles as Councillors. The purpose of the Model Code of Conduct is to set clear standards that will improve on Councillor conduct and behaviour.
Guidance has been developed to support Councillors in performing their role in a manner consistent with the Model Code of Conduct.
