2022 - 2025 Elected Members' Code of Conduct

1.       Purpose

An updated Elected Members Code of Conduct on best practice has been drafted based for Councillors to consider.

2.       Guidance Sought from Councillors

At a previous workshop in November 2022, Councillors discussed a number of process changes to the draft 2022 – 2025 Code of Conduct. These have been incorporated in the draft attached.

Following on from this Councillors requested a further workshop to discuss and agree to the wording of the Council’s commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles and how these might best be reflected in the document. 

3.       Discussion

Staff will present a summary of amendments made as a result of guidance given at the November workshop and will lead a discussion on how commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles can be reflected in the Code of Conduct in line with Toi Moana’s Partnerships with Māori Impact Statement as shown in the revised draft version attached.

4.       Next Steps

Once direction has been provided the 2022- 2025 Elected Members’ Code of Conduct will be presented to 16 March 2023 Council meeting for adoption.
