The Local Government Act 1993, together with ordinances and regulations made under it, sets out what a Council staff must do, may do and must not do. The responsibilities and rights of elected representatives and Council staff; and the powers of the Mayor and the legal relationship which exists between the elected representative; Council staff and those persons living and working in the Council area.
