Councillor induction training declarations approaching

The Inspectorate wishes to remind Councillors Elect that as per the Local Government Act 2020, Councillors must complete Councillor induction training within four (4) months after the day the Councillor takes the oath or affirmation of office.

Councillors must make a written declaration before the Chief Executive Officer after completing Councillor induction training that--

(a) states that the Councillor has completed the Councillor induction training; and

(b) is dated and signed.

The Inspectorate will prepare a declaration form template which Councils are encouraged to use. This declaration form will be distributed directly to Councils in the coming months.
