Disclosures of Interest

Councillors and designated staff are required to disclose any matters that may involve a conflict of interest between their private business and personal interests and their council duties.

These disclosures are recorded in a Disclosure of Interests Register maintained by Council.

Below are links to our Returns of Interest for the period 1 July 2019 – 30 June 2020. Pursuant to the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 NSW, Hunters Hill Council determined that there was an overriding public interest against disclosure of certain personal information contained in the Returns of Disclosure. Accordingly, these items have been redacted and include signatures and personal addresses.

Upon appointment, Hunter’s Hill Council will make available for inspection its Register of original copies of Councillor and Staff Returns of Declarations of Interest.
